About compile ADT from Android source code

Question

When I try to compile ADT through Android source code,I used these command:

$sdk/eclipse/scripts/build_adt.sh /home

but when I press enter,terminal exit right away。

who can tell me why??thanks!

Answer 1

If you look at the build_adt.sh script you can see in the first few lines it is checking the length of the arguments you have provided to the script.

if [ $# -ne 3 ]
then
  echo "Usage: $0 <out_dir> <dest_dir> <build_number>" > /dev/stderr
  echo "Given arguments: $*" > /dev/stderr
  exit 1
fi

You are only providing a single argument of /home when the script is expecting three arguments <out_dir> , <dest_dir> and <build_number> in that order. The script will exit without doing anything if you have not provided it the three arguments it's expecting.
