Description

I can’t generate the jsca file, although I have installed pyyaml following the instructions in the error message (see below).

You can install it with:

I ran both "easy_install pyyaml" (as instructed in the error message) and "pip install pyyaml", to no avail. This didn't work either:

sudo port install libyaml
sudo port install py27-yaml

However, with the two ports installed (i.e. libyaml and py27-yaml) I was able to run "./apidoc/docgen.py -f jsca" manually (outside of scons), and this worked on my MacBook Pro. This fix will not work on non-Mac platforms. The SDK's build infrastructure ".../apidoc/docgen.py -f jsca --stdout" doesn't work (it's as if the "--stdout" is piped to /dev/null by the scons process).

You need to make sure you have all of the Python dependencies correctly installed: https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides2/Installing+Required+Python+Packages.

The Python-based scons build has been deprecated.
