Groundsdk build fails

Hello all,

I just got a new Anafi and I’m currently trying to set up the groundsdk-android.

I followed every step from the instructions.

Unfortunately the build step fails, using the command:
$ ./build.sh -p groundsdk-android -t build -j

Here’s the console output:

The Ubuntu version is freshly installed along with Android Studio

If you need additional information, please tell.

Searching for the problem on google didn’t get me a working solution so far.

p.s:
The step

Install the Repo tool

  • Download it from Google APIs
  • Put it in a directory that is included in your path
  • Make it executable with chmod a+x repo

was really confusing at first, because I had no clue what was meant by ‘path’. The last time I worked with linux was 2 years ago, maybe it’d be helpful to make the path more specific.

Something is wrong with ncurses. Is it installed? If you have ncurses I’ve seen people workaround issues like this by linking libtinfo.so to it

You can also try installing libtinfo via apt.

sudo apt-get install libtinfo5
