Description

[vijay krishna m]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131206145143

Steps to reproduce:

I checked out Mozilla Fennec code and I am able to build and install it in my Samsung Galaxy Mega. I tried to connect it to Eclipse using instructions in link: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android#Connecting_Eclipse_to_Android_Build_tree




Actual results:

It is not creating projects correctly.

Here is output from create_projects.pl script:

vijay@vijay-Inspiron-5520:~/mozilla_sources/eclipse-mobile/eclipse_mobile$
./create_projects.pl 
OBJ:/home/vijay/mozilla_sources/src/objdir-droid

/home/vijay/mozilla_sources/src/objdir-droid/mobile/android/geckoview_library/AndroidManifest.xml
No such file or directory at ./create_projects.pl line 52.


Here are contents of my mozconfig_values file:


MOZOBJDIR=/home/vijay/mozilla_sources/src/objdir-droid
MOZSRCDIR=/home/vijay/mozilla_sources/src

When i try to run project I get an error message in eclipse:

Your project contains error(s), Please fix them before running application.



Expected results:

I should be able to run project according to wiki link.

Hi vijay, the Perl scripts you are running are rather old and are not maintained or supported.  I did a bunch of work on making this better, but had to put it aside before I got it landed into the tree.  You can see my work in progress patch at Bug 853045 [1].  I haven't tried these patches recently, but I have a few hours today and will try to make sure they work and update them if they don't.  Bug reports appreciated!
