Yes, node is already a dependency for the CLI, so why not roll with that for cross-platform goodness. On 1/21/13 7:24 AM, "Andrew Grieve" wrote: >Yep, I was mostly thinking about Android with this question. There's >really >two aspects that it would simplify: > >1. Our documentation would not ha

I think we have someone internally here who will look at making the create script more descriptive when errors occur. One thing Don Coleman mentioned a while back and I haven't yet responded (sorry Don) is to have a script that checks the dependencies and downloads/installs everything you need to g

Yep, I was mostly thinking about Android with this question. There's really two aspects that it would simplify: 1. Our documentation would not have to worry about windows vs. unix 2. Our scripts (and upgrade scripts) won't have to be written twice. Although maybe if we are making node a requiremen

Yes, please! Descriptive errors would go a long way to making the tools easier to use. At least it would point at a specific reason for failure vs the current vague message. __ Kerri Shotts photoKandy Studios LLC Sent from my iPhone ๐Ÿ“ฑ Phone: +1 (312) 380-1035 ๐ŸŒ Web: h

-1 I (and most people) just want to get going and don't like dependencies. We're already requiring nodejs for a lot of the stuff we do. If you're referring to the Android windows scripts. I believe they work fine. If there are any issues with them, people should report them just as they would rep

Just my 2ยข: people are already complaining about the number of parts that need to be installed -- do we really want to add yet another? I realize it would make the scripts easier, but the more moving (third party) parts that have to be installed prior to using PhoneGap (especially those that are

I'm sure this has come up some time in the past, but why not require cygwin so that our scripts will work on windows? Cygwin has been a requirement of most of the windows projects I've worked on in the past (when at different companies).
