Troubleshooting

1.

error: /tmp/OpenPTT/OpenPTT/platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.
> You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK components:
  [Android SDK Platform 25].
  Before building your project, you need to accept the license agreements and complete the installation of the missing components using the Android Studio SDK Manager.
  Alternatively, to learn how to transfer the license agreements from one workstation to another, go to http://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/export-licenses.html

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
  • install r25 version of android-platform, android-sdk, and android-sdk-build-tools from AUR

2.

Building Angular 2 application into "./www" directory.
/bin/sh: ng：command not found

This error would occur if you do not install angular-cli with root permission (that is fine, it just means you don’t have it systemwide)

This is a simple PATH problem, check your shell’s path export method

$ export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/node_modules/.bin

3.

target specified and no devices found, deploying to emulator
Error: No emulator images (avds) found.
1. Download desired System Image by running: /opt/android-sdk/tools/android sdk
2. Create an AVD by running: /opt/android-sdk/tools/android avd
HINT: For a faster emulator, use an Intel System Image and install the HAXM device driver

The hint commands works

Error: Command failed: ng build --target=production --environment=prod --output-path www/ --base-href .
As a forewarning, we are moving the CLI npm package to "@angular/cli" with the next release,
which will only support Node 6.9 and greater. This package will be officially deprecated
shortly after.

To disable this warning use "ng set --global warnings.packageDeprecation=false".

You have to be inside an angular-cli project in order to use the build command.

Probably due to this commit, please check your angular cli version

ng --version
---
@angular/cli: 1.2.0
node: 8.1.3
os: linux x64
(...)

Note the first line, it shouldn’t be the legacy angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta
