Pebble sdk - installation and debugging issue in mac

Question

I am learning about pebble watch development. So I started with the emulator and sdk installation to learn basic "hello world" program.

Following below link

https://developer.getpebble.com/2/getting-started/

https://developer.getpebble.com/2/getting-started/hello-world/

And this link for simulator

https://github.com/Helco/PebbleLocalSim

I installed pebble sdk in MAC but when I run the

curl -sSL https://developer.getpebble.com/install.sh | sh && source ~/.bash_profile

in terminal I am getting this error

 Build failed! Everything installed, but building a new project doesn't work.
    Failure reason: Setting top to                           : /Users/XYZ/pebble-dev/install_test

To avoid this errors I even tried manual installation but even after I had successfully installed all dependencies described in those links but I still found same error in two more scenarios

1. when I have installed all dependencies and I tried to build the "hello world" program, I faced same issue and it is not able to build the program instead it says command build not found

creating new project

pebble new-project hello_world

after going inside the hello_world directory, I have run the build and it throws error

-bash: build: command not found

1. Another time when I was trying to install dependencies explained here

I faced the issue command : brew install SDL SDL_ttf SDL_image --universal

Error :

Warning: sdl-1.2.15 already installed, it's just not linked
Error: You must `brew link sdl' before sdl_ttf can be installed
Error: You must `brew link sdl' before sdl_image can be installed

I am sure there is some problem when I am installing PYTHON and SDL for my peddle but I am not able to get to the root of the issue

Answer 1

Your system (OS X 10.7) is not compatible with the recent version of the arm-cs-tools compiler provided by the Pebble SDK. You should be able to fix this by manually downloading this older version of arm-cs-tools here and then uncompressing it in your pebble-dev folder:

cd ~/pebble-dev/
tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/arm-cs-tools-osx-10.7-2013-04-04.tar.bz2

And then test the tools by running these commands:

export PATH=~/pebble-dev/arm-cs-tools/bin:$PATH
echo "int main(void) {return 0;}" | arm-none-eabi-gcc -x c -

This should give you one warning and generate a a.out file. If that works you are good and you can go back to your project and run pebble build.

Refer to this page for the old installation instructions (SDK 1.x - Just look at the second half on installing the compiler).

If you still cannot get it to work, CloudPebble is a great way to get started.

Answer 2

If you can run pebble new-project hello_world then you've probably installed the SDK correctly.

It seems like you're trying to do build to build the project. You need to do pebble build.
