Unable to build app from source

Open kgraefe opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Are there any instructions on how to build the app?

Currently I am facing two problems:

  • When running git submodule update --init --recursive after cloning, I get the following error:

    error: no such remote ref 7375ddeb8db22b9c73c8db2ddd810652c23e19ea
    Fetched in submodule path 'JCGridMenu', but it did not contain 7375ddeb8db22b9c73c8db2ddd810652c23e19ea. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
    

    Apparently, JCGridMenu should point here in .gitmodules.

  • After fixing that, I get the following error in Xcode:

    /Users/me/src/news-iOS-App/iOCNews/OCAppDelegate.m:36:9: 'KSCrash/KSCrash.h' file not found
    

    I am stuck here. :-(

FTR: I am trying to build commit b5b0484.

Finally, i'm not alone on this one! First, i thought it was my lack of git skills, than i contacted one of the creators (thanks Peter for your help:)), and in the end i gave up... If anyone can give any solution to the problem, i'm all ears.

P.S. In my quite humble opinion, the problem might be in .gitmodules file not pointing to the accurate git submodules address.

KSCrash needs to be compiled separately as a framework. See https://github.com/kstenerud/KSCrash#how-to-build-kscrash for instructions.
