Compilation Error

[ericmillsio]

I'm trying to install python for android, but it gets caught up at this point and I've tried everything to get around it... Fails on jnius compilation. Anyone have a similar issue?

I am currently on arch.

I had this issue too. If you fixed your environment, could you add a comment here telling what you did? I am googling again.. thanks

Edited:

• I am using a MacOS 10
• Python 2.7
• Kivy 1.5.1
• Android SDK and NDK installed newest versions of each one (considering the date of this post)

I have the same problem, except I'm building on a x86-machine.

I just realised that I'm using Python3 as standard on my machine, maybe the whole process fails because of this. Will try that when I'm home again, in about 4h or so.

[ericmillsio]

I'm not quite sure what it was I did to fix it (I tried a ton of stuff), but I think what @xaos3k is saying about Python3 happened to me. I kept accidently installing dependencies in python3 instead of 2. Make sure all of your dependencies are installed correctly. Cython I had some problems with. When installing remember to run pip2 not pip.

[xaos3k]

Sorry for the long waiting time, but I couldn't do anything after work yesterday. Unfortunately changing the Pythonversion didn't do the trick. As someone mentioned on #kivy, a special version gets compiled for this package. I guess I'll open up another ticket for this issue this evening.

[lzzy]

I had fixed it by : apt-get install cython .

[tito]

Yes, you need cython, but cython for python 2.7 of course. Python3 is not supported anywhere yet.
So you can do easy-install-2.7, pip-2.7 or apt-get install (but cython might be outdated with apt-get).

[paulocheque]

I have the default python installed in MacOS. 2.7.1. I believe that is the CPython.
Maybe I need some extra package.. lib..

[xaos3k]

Someone else had a hard time compiling this and found a solution (look at Issue #86).
I just discovered that I'm getting a little different errormessage. Instead of

'error: command 'arm-linux-androideabi-gcc' failed with exit status 1'

I get

'error: command 'ccache' failed with exit status 1'

Do I need any special version of ccache?

[xaos3k]

I finally gave it another try, after not doing anything on this for a month or so. I actually found the solution to this problem on my machine. I actually started from scratch installing everything when I noticed that "pip" was installed for Python 3, not Python 2.

So I installed the corresponding pip-version and now everything compiles just fine. The problem actually wasn't with ccache or cython (although I'm currently still running v0.17.1 instead of the most recent 0.18).

[yurkomik]

Can you please xaos3k help others to fix same problem?
how to install pip for python 2.7?

Hi I also had the issue first mentioned by crearc under a Gentoo environment.
I had Cython 0.16 installed system wide using my distribution package manager.
Uninstalling it and installing Cython 0.19 with pip in the virtualenv solved the issue for me.

[bonhag]

@yurkomik, this is the easiest way (in Ubuntu, because I don't know which distro you're using):

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev
sudo pip install cython

[ghe]

I ran into this on Arch, using cython 0.19.2, following http://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-android.html#packaging-android
The Arch cython package is apparently for python3, but there is also a cython2 package. Installing that and simlinking 'cython' to 'cython2' made the compile finish successfully. Cython 0.19 also has a command line option (-2 or -3) to set python compatibility, so another option may be to alias 'cython' to use the one you need (-2 in this case).

Ubuntu Quantal:
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-androideabi

fixed the problem for me

[brywil]

I think 'pip install --upgrade cython' is supposed to fix this step. I got an error later on after manually running 'apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-androideabi'

[peteristhegreat]

On Mavericks and clang, it needs to be this:

$ sudo ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip cython

Had the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04, fixed it by installing an older Cython version (0.17.1).
