I am currently attempting to build tess-two for an OCR android application via command line as instructed on https://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two. This is done on my macbook, OSX 10.9.4.
In order to build tess-two, this must be typed into command line:
$ 1git clone git://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two tess
$ cd tess
$ cd tess-two
$ ndk-build
$ android update project --path .
$ ant release
I encountered a problem as soon as I enter:
$ android update project --path .
This is the error displayed:
-bash: android: command not found
I have spend many hours trying to remedy this, and so far nothing fruitful has come of it. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
This means the android command is not in your PATH. Try typing which android. It should give you the location if it is within your PATH.
Usually android can be found in your SDK directory under tools
You've got two options:
run the command with your_sdk_path/tools/android update project --paht
add android to your PATH with
export PATH=$PATH:/your_sdk_path/tools
You must have downloaded Android Development Toolkit bundle first. https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk#mac-bundle
Then add /sdk/tools to your path.
I hope you know how to configure your path. If you are not sure please have a look at this : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/appleosx-bash-unix-change-set-path-environment-variable/

I'm following an android tutorial on ndk and I am trying to run the following command within cygwin
$make - v
but I get the following message:
bash: make: command not found
Can anyone help ?
Launch the setup. Search the packages for "make" and install them...
You should not use cygwin to run ndk-build in NDK version 6 and above. Use ndk-build.cmd from CMD prompt instead. Anyways, NDK contains its own rebuilt make executable on all platforms, which should be used with ndk build scripts.
I have been trying to get my head around using uiautomator and I understand creating the test cases. I tried the first two steps of building the JAR according the the Android developer guide for UI Testing (http://developer.android.com/tools/testing/testing_ui.html) and that worked fine, but I am unsure on how to follow the next steps and building the JAR file with ant. Please can anyone help me with this issue.
Here are the steps that I have done so far:
<android-sdk>/tools/android create uitest-project -n <name> -t 1 -p <path>
set ANDROID_HOME=<path_to_your_sdk>
This is the step that I am stuck on:
ant build
The error I get when I use the command prompt is:
'ant' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
In the terminal run
which ant
It seems you do not have ant installed. If no location like /usr/bin/ant shows up after you run the command above, use this to install it:
sudo apt-get install ant
Try again after. It should work.
If you're using ADT, I recommend downloading Apache ant and placing it within the sdk/tools/ant folder. Then change your PATH variable to direct to the ant bin folder.
you have this error because you wrote "ant build" from incorrect path.
I did (this command generate build.xml, local.properties, project.properties files):
<android-sdk>/tools/android create uitest-project -n <name> -t 1 -p <path>
I changed in build.xml first line like:
<project name="name" default="build">
after that I run ant from eclipse. Build was success.
Have you installed ant? If not then do it from this site: http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html
If yes then follow these steps:
Navigate to your project directory and means (go to bin of your project)
Using command window execute the function: ant build
Ensure that your default JAVA_HOME points to JDK installation, not the JRE, and check if your compiler is in the PATH. Try to type “javac” in the command prompt. If javac is not found, then you should put your bin directory in the PATH.
For example, in Windows:
SET PATH=c:/jdk1.5.0_07/bin;%PATH%

If you have ADT with Eclipse then you can find ant in the plugins directory of Eclipse.
i am tying to build a tesseract project to use as a library for my project. I am getting this error with cygwin when trying to build on windows 7 with User Account Controls turned off.
$ /cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8/ndk-build
SharedLibrary : liblept.so
C:/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/windows/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.4.3/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld.exe: ./obj/local/armeabi/libgnustl_static.a: No such file: Permission denied

/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8/build/core/build-binary.mk:369: recipe for target `obj/local/armeabi/liblept.so' failed
make: *** [obj/local/armeabi/liblept.so] Error 1
please let me know what i should do to build the project.
Sorry It's my first time answering a question.
I was having a same issue as yours.
Then I solve it using cygwin bash with command: $ chmod -R 777 /cygdrive/c/android/workspace
C:/Android/workspace is my Eclipse work space.
Some one here gave me the insight
A lot of people have struggled with compiling tesseract under Windows, and Cygwin is normally suggested, however its often not necessary.
Have you tried looking at the tess-two project on github? Its tesseract wrapped with some handy android classes, compiling a running is simply a case of :
git clone git://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two tess
cd tess
cd tess-two
ndk-build
android update project --path .
ant release
I've been able to compile the above on 3 windows7 machines, a mac, and ubuntu without any issues.
if you're developing under windows, go to the file, and change it's premissions to full control.
it will be in /obj dir
This is probably a very easy question but since I am new to Cygwin and Ant, this annoyed me a lot.
Basically, I am trying to test hello-jni example that comes with NDK ( I use r8 currently).
I have set my paths and everything is working fine. However, when I simply cd to the sample directory and try to update the project, I get the following error.
Same error pops up when I actually append the path after -p
$ android.bat update project -p .
Error: The project either has no target set or the target is invalid.
Please provide a --target to the 'android.bat update' command.
ndk-build is working fine but whenever I try to install using Ant, I get the build.xml is missing error inevitably.
Thanks.
run this command
android update project -p . -s --target android-14
I just installed Android NDK, r5b, and while trying to follow the steps from Exploring the hello-jni Sample, on the command line I receive the error:
MacBook-2:~ mvermant$ cd ndk/samples/hello-jni
MacBook-2:hello-jni mvermant$ android update project -p . -s
-bash: android: command not found
I'm using Eclipse Helios release 2 with Android SDK r10 and ADT 10.0.0 on MAC 10.6.6. I have also checked to have GNU Make 3.81, and installed GNU Awk(though I am not sure it's in the right place).
I've searched a lot, and seems there might be a class path missing somewhere, but I can't figure out where exactly and what to do to fix it.
You should make sure the tools directory of your android-sdk is on your (shell) path.
Something like:
export PATH="/path/to/sdk/tools:$PATH"
before you execute your command.
In general you will also need two other directories to be on your path:
/path/to/sdk/platform-tools - for adb and other android sdk tools
/path/to/ndk - for ndk-build and ndk-gdb, which are ndk tools
You can also do some setup so that you don't have to run these commands every time you open Terminal.
