Not able to build for android

[arsfeld]

I'm trying to build an Openfl project in Fedora 19, with Haxe 3 and Neko 2. I'm getting this:

sh: arm-linux-androideabi-g++: command not found

And my ~/.hxcpp_config.xml

<xml>
    <section id="vars">

        <set name="ANDROID_SDK" value="/opt/android-sdk" />
        <set name="ANDROID_SETUP" value="true" />
        <set name="ANDROID_NDK_ROOT" value="/opt/android-ndk" />
        <set name="ANT_HOME" value="/usr/bin" />
        <set name="JAVA_HOME" value="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64" />
    </section>
</xml>

It works for Linux/C++ tough. Any ideas?

Here is the full log:

Did you setup openfl android environment? openfl setup android?

[louisbl]

What OS (32/64b) and what version of the Android NDK are you using ?
The toolchains path have changed from the 8e version as it now support 64bit version. You should change the "android-toolchain.xml" file if you have android ndk 8e or 9:

/usr/share/haxe/lib/hxcpp/3,0,2/build-tool/android-toolchain.xml

to reflect this changes by appending "-x86_64" to the host folder:

30: <path name="${ANDROID_NDK_ROOT}/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-${TOOLCHAIN_VERSION}/prebuilt/${ANDROID_HOST}/bin"/>

30: <path name="${ANDROID_NDK_ROOT}/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-${TOOLCHAIN_VERSION}/prebuilt/${ANDROID_HOST}-x86_64/bin"/>

NDK 8e get installed on openfl setup. You can make a clean install with that command, most people won't get bothered by errors this way.

[arsfeld]

I was getting in trouble because I was downloading the NDK manually. By the way, the lack of support for x64 is a much bigger pain in Fedora, since I couldn't find a way to install all 32-bit libraries like I would in Ubuntu (and error messages were quite cryptic).
Now I'm back to building and testing in a Fedora machine, thanks!

[arsfeld]

By the way, for reference, to properly build and test Android targets with openfl and Fedora, I had to:

• Use Android NDK r8e (and just like @Henry-T said, it's included in openfl setup)
• Download JDK from Oracle's website also with openfl setup, since the OpenJDK from yum did not work (many websites also suggest this, otherwise you get Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher)
• Install glibc.i686 libzip.i686 libstdc++.i686 ncurses-libs.i686

[drkibitz]

@arsfeld I have x64 installed on fedora 19.

[drkibitz]

@arsfeld you may have been able to find a thread/issue about it, as I described how I got it working, but unfortunately its in a repo that suddenly disappeared last weekend, openfl-tools.

[arsfeld]

@drkibitz what a waste of time we both trying to solve these issues independently. I did a search about openfl and Fedora but found nothing.
Did you do anything special that I didn't?

[drkibitz]

@arsfeld I don't know if I did anything special, but here's what I did.
I used the prebuilt x64 binaries for Neko 2.0 and Haxe 3.0 here:

• http://nekovm.org/_media/neko-2.0.0-linux64.tar.gz
• http://haxe.org/file/haxe-3.0.0-linux64.tar.gz

I dropped them into their respective directories here:

• /usr/local/lib64/neko
• /usr/local/lib64/haxe

Then I created a file /etc/profile.d/haxe.sh with contents:

export NEKOPATH="/usr/local/lib64/neko"
export HAXEPATH="/usr/local/lib64/haxe"
export HAXE_STD_PATH="/usr/local/lib64/haxe/std:."

And of course made sure my current session had those same vars defined.

Then I created the file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/neko.conf with contents:

/usr/local/lib64/neko

Then ran ldconfig make the changes take effect.

Then I manually created symlinks here /usr/local/bin:

• haxe -> ../lib64/haxe/haxe
• haxedoc -> ../lib64/haxe/haxedoc
• haxelib -> ../lib64/haxe/haxelib
• neko -> ../lib64/neko/neko
• nekotools -> ../lib64/neko/nekotools

Then I installed openfl with:

haxelib install openfl
haxelib run openfl setup

Then removed the symlink here /usr/bin/openfl, and created a new one in /usr/local/bin like the others:

• openfl -> ../lib64/haxe/openfl

That's about it.
If I remember right, I'm pretty sure I only had to yum install gcc-g++ to build for linux with openfl test linux.

On this fedora 19 box, I have all the samples building for linux and html5, in an automatic job. Here's the deployed artifacts (html5 only):

• http://drkibitz.com/ci/jobs/openfl-samples/

[drkibitz]

@arsfeld I have not tried android yet on this box, so if there are x64 problems there, I have to think they are specific to the android target.

[arsfeld]

Hm, these are good steps to install in Fedora, I was wondering how I could install haxe and neko in a better way. But yes, that part did also worked fine for me, didn´t had to change much from the default installation instructions.
My problem is that the Android NDK r8e, which is the last one supported by openfl, doesn´t support x64 machines, which means you have to manually install the 32bit libraries.
So, it´s only the Android target that requires more seting up in Fedora.
