Build error: 'generated-sources/externc/duplicates' is not a file.

Hi there,

I'm running into problems when compiling Apache Royale and they seem to be related to royale-typedefs:

BUILD FAILED

If I remove lines 32 and 44 from node/src/main/config/compile-as-config.xml everything works fine but I don't know if this could pose problems somewhere else.

Hi, we need more info about how you're building. I guess it should be something in your environment since the build was working right in Windows, Mac and Linux (in CI servers) for long time.

Hi @carlosrovira,

this is my system info:
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS

Java version:

openjdk version "1.8.0_232"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-8.232.09.1 (build 1.8.0_232-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-8.232.09.1 (build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

Ant version:

Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.8 compiled on May 10 2020

This is how I build Royale (develop branch):

git clone
cd royale-asjs
ant all

Let me know if you need more information.

I think that's the problem. To build from sources you need a bit more. Here's a script I use to build daily in Mac:
https://gist.github.com/carlosrovira/200753108de263fa43e80d3228213509
Note that it makes much more, since is to build ANT and Maven (since I want to ensure I don't break anything), also it build SDK with Maven and I can uncomment parts to sync repos.

For ANT you'll see you need to clone also compiler and typedefs repos and you must have ant commands to wipe previous builds.

HTH

Thanks for the information. I will take a look at the script and do some testing.
