Dan, can we update libgdx to 1.4.1? It's got better support for iOS. Not that that's working already, but it probably doesn't hurt to update anyway. I'll leave the decision/testing/committing to you, as I don't want to screw up the Android builds

I don't see why not. I've updated libgdx once before since the initial Alpha release and that went fine. Let me know when you're done and I'll test it out to be sure it doesn't break the Android build.elcnesh wrote:Dan, can we update libgdx to 1.4.1? It's got better support for iOS.

I can't publish on Android. It appears you didn't update any of the files in the libs directory of forge-gui-android, forge-gui-mobile, and forge-gui-mobile-dev.
Also, I saw that libgdx 1.5.0 was just released. Should we update to that instead?

Ok, fixed! Can you verify it compiles now?
Unfortunately, the iOS version isn't compiling any more... Both RoboVM and GDX are so heavily under development that things break often. I think waiting a few weeks should help a lot here.

I found the problem – somehow the build now requires Maven 3.1. Using that, it works just fine. Could you give that a try? (I'm not sure why it requires that, but I don't see any problem with it. If it is somehow a problem, let's just revert the libraries and requirements to GDX 1.2, since the iOS build isn't working right now anyway...)

How do I make it use Maven 3.1? I get this warning when I try to specify version 3.1 in the pom.xml, and then it still fails. Were you able to get it to work?elcnesh wrote:I found the problem – somehow the build now requires Maven 3.1. Using that, it works just fine. Could you give that a try?

I installed maven3.1 from my package manager, after which it was available through the command "mvn31" on the command line. Maybe someone can comment on how to do this on Windows? (I presume that's your platform Dan?) I don't know and can't test it myself since I don't have it... Shouldn't be too hard I hope.

So it appears I'm already on Maven 3.1.1. But I did just discover the actual problem, which is that, yet again, Forge has gotten too complex to build a .apk for:
[INFO] trouble writing output: Too many method references: 66826; max is 65536.
[INFO] You may try using --multi-dex option.
I'm guessing that the new version of Gdx is mostly to blame. I'm going to see if there's a way to get a version of Gdx with fewer methods, particularly removing ones we don't need.

Oh dear! Strange thing is that I didn't get that error... Maybe we can try removing (parts of) the forge-net package until it's functional? Also, there probably quite a few unused methods in Forge... Although 1000 is quite a lot.
How about that --multi-dex option, does it do anything? Or is it really a hard android limit?

I would suspect that we were already close to the limit and that upgrading libGDX may have bumped the number up over that limit. See if downgrading again fixes this.drdev wrote:So it appears I'm already on Maven 3.1.1.

Actually, I think I found a way to exclude certain Gdx packages we don't use (like com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g3d) without downgrading using the <excludePackageNames> directive in pom.xml. I'll let you know if that works.
EDIT: So that turned out to not work, as it's meant for javadocs, not compilation. What I'm going to do instead is checkout the libgdx source and compile a special set of dlls that exclude stuff we don't need. This way we can be on the latest version of libgdx and still get it to work for Android.
EDIT2: Success. I only had to build a new jar for the main gdx.jar project, excluding the g3d package and some other classes we don't use. Unfortunately, although I replaced the .jars in the libs folders, anyone else who wants to build things will need to manually copy those to their Maven repository.
