J2OBJC make dist "no rule to make target" error

Question

I'm trying to build j2objc on my Ubuntu Desktop, and I get this error:

make: *** [java_deps_dist] Error 2`

Before I tell you what I've tried, here's my info on my system, java version, and Maven version:

Mac OSX version - 10.9.2

Java version "1.7.0_51", OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.6) (7u51-2.4.6-1ubuntu4)

Maven version Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 08:51:28-0500)

Here's What I've tried:

Firstly, I've already looked at this thread and this thread since they had the same errors. Both haven't helped.

1. Deleting ~/.m2 then running make clean and make dist

2. running "mvn generate-resources dependency:sources" in the java_deps sub-directory, then running make clean and make dist

3. Updating Java and Maven versions to the most recent versions - as well as downgrading the versions.

4. Set M2_HOME to ~/.m2

5. Created a settings.xml file in the directory ~/.m2 with the following tag:

<localRepository>$M2_HOME/repository</localRepository>

Any help would be awesome, this thing is giving me a headache.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I finally found the fix to this. From the top...

Downloaded/installed Maven's latest version...

Downloaded j2objc-0.9.1...

set the path for Maven...

export M2_HOME=/Users/Craig/apache-maven-3.2.1
export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin

ran 'make dist'...it still gave me the error above

i then changed this path...

export M2_HOME=~/.m2

ran 'make'

WORKED!

Maven was looking at the wrong location for "../repository/com/google/findbugs/jsr305/2.0.2/jsr305-2.0.2.jar".

Changing the path before you run 'make' fixes this issue.

Once the make command finishes, run:

export PATH=$PATH:/<j2objc location>/dist

This allows you to use the commands j2objc and j2objcc.
