Compile error: Unable to resolve project target 'android-7'

[artagnon]

Using pindah-git here. Tried:

$ pindah create org.test.chwall2 chwall2 ChwallActivity
$ cd chwall2; rake debug

And I get:

** Invoke debug (first_time)
** Execute debug

-set-mode-check:

-set-debug-files:

-check-env:
Android SDK Tools Revision 21.0.1
Installed at /home/artagnon/.android/sdk

-setup:

Project Type: Application

-set-debug-mode:

Do you have the android-7 target installed w/ your android sdk?

[artagnon]

Do you mean Android 2.1 (API 7)? Isn't that super-old?

[baroquebobcat]

currently, that's the default (https://github.com/mirah/pindah/blob/master/lib/pindah_cli.rb#L5).

You can override it by editing the generated Rakefile

[artagnon]

Thanks. I've sent a pull request changing this to 4.2.

[artagnon]

Actually, pindah doesn't work with 4.2, although it seems to work with 2.1.

[abscondment]

Are you running off of Pindah master? We're overdue to release a new gem.
Chances are high that many of these issues are resolved already.

Yes, I am running off pindah master, but it seems to have tons of issues. With the gem, even rake -T doesn't work. See #37 for more.

[abscondment]

Also noticed you're on the latest jruby. I've only been able to make things
work with 1.6.8; the 1.7 line fails generally. And I have a recollection
that Java 7 won't work. If changing those things fixes your build, there
definitely needs to be issues open for them.

Other projects usually depend on newer versions of software than what I have present, while pindah seems to be obsessed with depending on stinking old software (especially API 2.1!). By the way, it doesn't work with the mirah master either.

Nope, doesn't wok with 1.6.8 (see #39).

That's just an outdated default. Most people set an actual target in their
Rakefile.

No, it doesn't. I believe the ant classes are missing when that gets built,
and it requires (I think) Java 7.

I'll try out jruby 1.6.8, but asking for Java <7 is outrageous.

Well, remember that Android's Dalvik isn't Java 7. Mirah is rather bleeding
edge, and while the latest versions do work with Java 7, I've consistently
had trouble with the bytecode they produce on Android. So there are bugs to
be fixed in the latest Mirah compiler to make things work.

Mirah master has a number of changes for 1.7 support, which might have
broken a few things for 1.6.8

@baroquebobcat How do you suggest using mirah master? Pointing bundler at the git path doesn't work, and I'm afraid mirah/mirah#194 is still breaking Pindah for the pre gem.

The other big issue for Pindah is #40 -- building through the ant compile task with Java 7 doesn't play nicely with Dalvik. Am I correct in thinking that mirah master requires Java 7?

[baroquebobcat]

Mirah master doesn't require java 7. there might be some funniness with
default target jdk if you are running 7 yourself though.

[abscondment]

Good to know. Pindah is explicitly setting 1.6 as a target, but this
generates bad opcodes when run through Java 7.
