In the last 3 days I've tried to compile 3 different alt coin Android wallets on 2 diff systems and all have failed.
Digitalcoin (from hashengineering)
Leafcoin
Litecoin (based on the Litecoin-Java github release)
maven builds on win8 with mvn 3.1, jdk 7
and ubuntu 13.04 with mvn 3.0.4 and jdk 7
goto github for the project, clone, and run 'mvn clean install'. This always fails because it can't find the bitcoinj parent (?) files. So, I clone Bitcoinj,
run 'mvn clean install -DskiptTests' (if I don't it never finishes - and I let it run overnight). Then with the this compiled Bitcoinj I clone bitcoin-wallet (for the alt coin I'm trying) in the Bitcoinj dir and cd bitcoin-wallet and run 'mvn clean install -Dandroid.sdk.path=
'. These always fail on com:google:3.3.1 blah blah test files. The dependency errors vary, but I can't get a clean build.
What part of this build process am I doing wrong?
Help appreciated.
