PM92847: WORKLIGHT STUDIO PROJECTS CREATED ON WINDOWS MACHINE AND IMPORTED ON A MAC MACHINE WILL NOT COMPILE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It is common within a development team to have developers
  working on a variety of platforms.  If a developer is building
  an application with Worklight Studio on a Windows machine and
  needs to pass the application to a developer on a Mac machine,
  attempts to compile that project will fail.
  

Local fix

• After importing the project on the Mac machine, add executable
  permission to the following file in the project:
  
  <project_name>/apps/<application_name>/iphone/native/buildtime.s
  h
  That should fix the underlying build permissions problem and a
  fresh compilation should succeed.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * This problem is limited to developers that exchange projects *
  * from Windows machines to Mac machines.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * In general, the problem is seen after importing and then     *
  * building the Worklight project on a Mac machine.  If the     *
  * application is not instrumented for the Mobile Test          *
  * Workbench, the problem is seen explicitly as Xcode attempts  *
  * to compile the project.  However, if the application is      *
  * instrumented for the Mobile Test Workbench, the problem is   *
  * not obvious.  The developer isn't given the details of the   *
  * failure because the instrumentation calls Xcode implicitly,  *
  * without the user interface.                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem was fixed by correcting the permissions of the
  buildtime.sh script within the project as part of the code that
  triggers the compilation.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 6.0.0.1.
  A fix is available in 6.0.0.0-IF201307011413 and later.
