Hi All,I had to change my windows laptop on which I developed android stuff so
while waiting for the new one I decided to give a try to android studio (via
linux emulation) on my NetBSD desktop. So here are the results.Installation
(well, starting studio.sh) works just fine, without any problems. I only had to
make sure that openjdk11 is found first in PATH instead of openjdk8.Opening any
projects and all the automatic plugin downloads seem to work fine.The first
problem you hit is when you start a gradle build. No matter which gradle
version you choose, you'll end up with the error: "Unknown platform: NetBSD".
Android studio always downloads their own version of gradle no matter if you
have it on NetBSD (currently, 6.8.3) but I'm not even sure if it's gradle or
one of their gradle plugins that complains. Besides, the downloaded gradle
versions are stored in hidden directories with generated names of hashes so
replacing a downloaded version with the NetBSD installed version is rather
tricky. I traced the command line gradle build by ktrace and was happy that it
hits uname as I thought simply prepending all the linux emul bins
(/usr/pkg/emul/linux/bin ... sbin ... /usr/bin ... /usr/sbin ...) to PATH will
do the trick. But it does not. Although, executing uname now returns Linux,
when executing gradle, it still reports the same problem: "Unknown platform:
NetBSD". I also found out that the file called Platform.java contains the check
by calling System.getProperty("os.name") but haven't even found it on the
system anywhere.So basically, got stuck. If anyone has any hint, it's welcome
:)Best regards,r0llerPS: By the way, stock (pkgin) Qt Creator runs just fine
with the new pkgsrc Qt6 and debugging via lldb also works (stock system gdb
cannot be used (haven't tried any other from pkgin) as it's compiled without
python scripting). So C++ develoipment seems feasible.
