SDK building does not work

[AnnaTomanek]

On current master (e2e3415296cd38742c4420b905b9fc6d4a350447), using the build method recommended by Marek, CKEditor no longer builds for me.

Done, without errors.

This is pretty urgent as we need to be able to update the SDK samples for CKEditor 4.5.8 and the Accessibility Checker release.

Works for me.

It seems that your Vagrant box has old Java version. You need at least 8: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

After upgrading Java, SDK should build without errors.

[AnnaTomanek]

I updated Vagrant to 1.8.1 and VirtualBox to 5.0.16. Still the same error when building.

[Comandeer]

According to http://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-java-8-jdk-8-ubuntu-via-ppa/ try running following command before grunt build:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Build was successfully ran, however we need to publish a proper Vagrant .box image, complete the instruction and merge it to master. It has been extracted to #175.

[AnnaTomanek]

Actually, the build was successfully ran once. Now I'm getting the following:

And the build is created, but with samples only, no documentation. At the same time building documentation directly from ckeditor-docs work without issues.

[Comandeer]

It seems that the most troublesome issue with building on Windows/in VM is connected with buildDocumentation method. The system keeps informing that grunt is not known. Maybe exporting PATH with path to the global npm modules would fix it?

[Reinmar]

There were issues with some mkdir or rm or cp args which the Windows shell doesn't support. AFAIR it'd require some effort to replace that with Node.js stuff, but you can try.
