Getting a command line build going

jnermut · December 16, 2015, 10:43pm

Hi, I’m trying to set up continuous integration of my Silver/Fire project.

I’m trying to grab the command out of the Fire build and run it, but it always fails with "could not import "$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)/RemObjects Software/Oxygene/RemObjects.Oxygene.Cooper.Android.targets"
I’ve tried adding properties and env variables to make it match the Fire environment, but to no avail.

Am I missing some magic here?

(Note I have a separate, old, copy of mono installed)

$ /Applications/Fire.app/Contents/Resources/Mono/bin/mono /Applications/Fire.app/Contents/Resources/Mono/lib/mono/4.5/xbuild.exe /git/Payment/Clients/PortableCoreSwift/PortableCoreSwift/PortableCoreSwift.sln /nologo /target:Build /verbosity:diagnostic /property:Configuration=Debug "/property:ElementsXbuildNougatSDKFolder=/Applications/Fire.app/Contents/Resources/Nougat SDKs" "/property:ElementsXbuildReferencePathsXMLFolder=/Applications/Fire.app/Contents/Resources/Reference Paths with Data Abstract Trial" /toolsversion:4.0 "/property:MONO_PATH=/Applications/Fire.app/Contents/Resources/Mono/lib/mono/4.5" "/property:MONO_GAC_PREFIX=/Applications/Fire.app/Contents/Resources/Mono" "/property:LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/Fire.app/Contents/Frameworks/"

Building from the command line works very well if you install the external (command line) compiler and then use the xbuild tool, see http://docs.elementscompiler.com/Fire/Setup/ExternalCompiler/ for all the details.

mh · December 21, 2015, 4:40pm

This prolly means you don’t have the external compiler installed, only Fire. If so, xbuild can’t find the compiler.

jnermut · December 23, 2015, 5:49am

Thanks, I got it running using the external compilers, running xbuild out of a gradle script.

That works well, except for the requirement of sudo to install it - I would be nicer to be able to automatically grab the right zip and use it as part of the gradle build within Android Studio.

Can you use the elements files with xbuild all the sudo installing stuff?

mh · December 23, 2015, 12:58pm

probably, but you’d have to pass a lot of manual stuff to xbuild, like where to find the .targets files, if they aren’t in a (only root-writable) standard location where xbuild wants them. Also i’m not sure if you could make the build work w/o having the compiler in Mono’s GAC (which also requires sudo…). I don’t think it’s be worth the hassle.

jnermut · December 23, 2015, 9:00pm

Ok thanks. There is quite a bit going on in that install script.

I might just automate the download and running the install as far as making it a gradle task, then tell developers to run that when we update, so at least it’s repeatable.

Nb I did get a command line build running through Fire, without having to install anything else, by
