I get the following error when I run make apk

./gradlew clean

What is going wrong?

#2

I don’t know. Did you perform any extra step before ?

We don’t use Ninja, I have no idea why you see this.

#3

And I verified, we don’t reproduce the error either, of course.

#4

I can see build.ninja files, but it’s all handled by CMake. Please ensure you don’t have any stale tree, but there’s not a lot I can help here.

#5

what does this even mean? stale tree?
how to check that? and what kinda changes may I need?

#6

Previous builds ? Unclean directories ?

This is a gradle/cmake level issue that I don’t reproduce. Hard to help.

#7

Maybe try rm -fr native_client/java/libdeepspeech/build native_client/java/app/build ?

#8

I tried it. Not helping.

#9

Well, there is something else getting in the way, but I can’t help more with the current informations. Are you sure there is no previous error that could explain ? What if you share complete logs ?

#10

There is some issue with cmake. the build.ninja file is not getting generated.
Can you help with that?

#11

Have you read my previous answers, that this is not directly our code but Android/gradle/cmake level ?

Have you read my previous message asking for more complete logs ?

#12

I need help with how extract those logs that you want to see.

#13

Also, I need some clarification in steps… to proceed with make apk do I need build the libdeepspeech.so first?

#14

Just copy/paste the whole stdout/stderr from make apk. You can: make apk 2>&1 | tee build.log and then share build.log file.

#15

Have you read native_client/java/README.rst ? It’s explained there.

Here are the logs

#18

Have you read native_client/java/README.rst ? It’s explained there

I have and hence I am saying I need more clarification. Can you help with that?
The explanation is quite confusing to me.

#19

What is unclear in the documentation ?

That’s the whole, captured as I suggested?

#20

That’s the whole , captured as I suggested?

Yes it is.

What is unclear in the documentation ?
If I need to build the libdeepspeech.so files before make apk or not.

#21

Ok, you need to be more precise regarding what is unclear, because we explicitely explain that: https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/blob/master/native_client/java/README.rst#android-java--jni-bindings-libdeepspeech

So either you build all flavors, or you download prebuilt binaries.
