Failure to build davx5 from source

[mbiebl]

Hi,

when trying to build davx5 from git (v2.4-beta1-ose), I get the following error:

D8: Cannot fit requested classes in a single dex file (# methods: 67195 > 65536)

> Task :app:transformDexArchiveWithDexMergerForStandardDebug FAILED
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Error while merging dex archives: 
The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.

Seems like the multidex dependencies didn’t make it into the OSE repo… wonder whether I shall fix the v2.4-beta1 tag or if this would just cause more problems.

I’d push the multidex fix and tag it as beta2

Sorry, my reply wasn’t supposed to be a request which creates additional work for you.
All I wanted to do is raise this issue in case you weren’t already aware of it.
Good to know that you already fixed that!

@mbiebl No problem. There should be better automatic testing to avoid such problems. We’ll try to find a solution.

2.4-beta2 should now build.

Does it work for you?

Yeah, builds fine now. Thanks!
