960640 - configure errors when building with latest android SDK bundle, cannot find dx

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Kartikaya Gupta (email:[e-mail])]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #941889 +++

If I download the latest SDK ADT Bundle for Mac from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and use it to build, dx is not found. In this version (adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030.zip) dx resides at adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk/build-tools/android-4.4/dx and our autoconf files only look for android-4.3 and some other folders. Rather than having to change this every time google updates their SDK (see the bug I cloned this from, for example) we should figure out some wildcard pattern that lets us find dx properly.

This fixes the issue in the interim.

Patch is the same as the other attached one - but also includes the build-tools version 19.0.1...for those that don't use the eclipse adt.

There's got to be a better way to figure this out...rather than having to patch the configure file every time :)

This lists the directories in build-tools/*, sorts them by
version (favouring new-style 'android-*' directories), and then takes
the newest version in which aapt exists.
