Douglas Almquist created CB-954:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Getting Started Guide for Web OS broken for both Win &
Mac.
Key: CB-954
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-954
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Docs
Affects Versions: 1.8.1
Environment: WebOS
Reporter: Douglas Almquist
Assignee: Michael Brooks
Fix For: 1.8.1
The Getting Started Guide for Web OS for both the Windows and Mac/OSX
environments appear to be broken.
Two discreet issues:
1) Windows: Step 2 shows the following:
Download and install WebOS SDK
Download and install cygwin SDK (Windows only).
Make sure you select "make" as it is not included by default
Problem: both links point to the same place. There is no link to cygwin.
Workarounds might include finding and installing the entire cygwin set
but it's not clear. Most teams create customer or 'basic' cygwin installs
to meet their purposes. One is left guessing what to do and hacking.
Fix: Update the Getting Started Guide with the correct link to the
installation intended for WebOS developers.
2) Mac OSX
The installation instructions do not appear to include steps for installing the
'make' functionality on the Mac.
Focus: Step 5A
5A. Deploy to Simulator
Open up your Palm Emulator from your applications folder/start menu.
Type make in your terminal/cygwin while in the webOS directory.
Expected result: the make command functions.
Experienced result: airethernet:webos Dougga$ make
-bash: make: command not found
Fix: Update documentation to include installation to support the 'make'
command on Mac OSX.
