Can't build Garmin Connect IQ Samples getting java.lang.NullPointerException

I'm trying to get the Garmin Connect IQ to work on OSX with no success. I have tried to build even the samples but keep getting a 'java.lang.NullPointerException' error. Here's what I'm doing:

$ javac -version
java 1.8.0_74
$ monkeyc -v
Connect IQ compiler version 1.2.9
$ cd ~/Garmin/connectiq-sdk-mac-1.2.9/samples/Sensor
$ monkeyc -o Sensor.prg -m manifest.xml 
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.garmin.monkeybrains.compiler.Compiler.assemble(Compiler.java:671)
    at com.garmin.monkeybrains.Monkeybrains.runCompiler(Monkeybrains.java:759)
    at com.garmin.monkeybrains.Monkeybrains.compileApplication(Monkeybrains.java:557)
    at com.garmin.monkeybrains.Monkeybrains.main(Monkeybrains.java:1046)
ERROR:unknown:0: null
WARNING: The app name should reference a string resource using @Strings.AppName
WARNING: The launcher icon should reference a bitmap resource using @Drawables.LauncherIcon

I'm guessing it's something simple/fundamental!

Any pointers appreciated

There are two problems:

  1. monkeyc does not know which source & resource files you would like to compile.
  2. monkeyc crashes when the value of -o parameter is not an absolute path. It still happens for 2.1.0 SDK.

As a workaround please provide an absolute path for -o parameter and don't forget about the missing source files:

cd ~/Garmin/connectiq-sdk-mac-1.2.9/samples/Sensor
monkeyc -o ~/Garmin/connectiq-sdk-mac-1.2.9/samples/Sensor/app.prg -m manifest.xml -z resources/bitmaps.xml:resources/strings.xml:resources/resources.xml source/Graph.mc source/Sensor.mc
