Building with 2015-10 fails in Eclipse

totebo

I'm trying to build with Eclipse directly exported from the 2015-10 release and get a strange crash. Any idea what this means?

11-17 15:11:41.040: E/AndroidRuntime(23819): java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "_Z8g_NextIdv" referenced by "/data/app/com.totebo.scrappycat-2/lib/arm/libads.so"...

@totebo it means that some of the binaries you use are from version prior 2015.10

@SinisterSoft had the same error while testing, when he did not update all the binaries

totebo

Okay, phew! Where can I get the latest binaries? They're not there when I export the project and they're not in the plugins directory of the huge Gideros repository I downloaded.

ar2rsawseen

The binaries should always be delivered with the release, and you should always use them (for better compatibility)

The gideros binaries are in Gideros directory/SDK/lib/android
The plugins binaries are in Gideros directory/All Plugins/Pluginname/bin/android

Let me know if something is missing for you

totebo

Thanks for that @ar2rsawseen. After two years of development and three games released I'm surprised I missed it!

I tend to download the entire repository and grab stuff from there. I don't usually go digging in the install directory of Gideros. Maybe worth puttin them in the main repository too? Or maybe I just need to get my act together.

ar2rsawseen

Usually putting binaries in the repo is a bad idea, so we try to avoid it

totebo

Fair enough!

And since you asked: I'm now missing libgms.so. Can't find it in the folders you mentioned, and old versions give the same error as above.

ar2rsawseen

what was libgms for?

totebo

Google Play Services uses it.

http://giderosmobile.com/labs/google-play-services

ar2rsawseen

Then it should be in All Plugins/googleplay folder

totebo

The "googleplay" folder only has "libgoogleplay.so", all of which I have added to my project.

I've searched through both 2015-10 and gideros-master for "libgms.so" with no results. When I search my entire hard drive I find it, but it's an outdated version that breaks the build with the mysterious "_Z8g_NextIdv" error.

ar2rsawseen

yes, sorry for confusion

libgms was renamed to libgoogleplay to fit factory pattern of building plugins through our build flow.

https://github.com/gideros/gideros/commit/5e0b12d8de8abfd9ce5afff2799b0e8d64ba052e

but it should be the same library, only file/library name changes (which means you also need to System.load("googleplay") in your activity)

totebo

Great, confusion gone. Will try and report back if I hit a snag.

totebo

It all works now, with one exception: When I use 2015-10 to export an old project it fails with this error:

11-19 16:13:45.962: A/art(3889): art/runtime/java_vm_ext.cc:410] string: 'AceSlide.lua:1: ')' expected near '�''

It works when I export without encryption.

I've added all the new libs and double checked them. I've diffed the Activity so that's also up to date. What part of the guts of Gideros, that I have failed to replace, is responsible for the encryption?

ar2rsawseen

hmm, don't remember how encryption worked exactly, but it should export binaries together with encryption, cause only that specific exported binary has a way to decrypt files.
So if you export and then replace binaries, they will not be able to decrypt files

totebo

Gotcha! Will try a fresh export and report back.

totebo

Just to say: We're in business. As always, thanks for your help @ar2rsawseen!
