Error while compiling kernel

I am getting the following error when I refer to a third party jar which is inside the libs folder of my application

make: *** No rule to make target `packages/apps/DemoApp/jackson-all-1.6.2.jar', needed by   `out/target/product/SH09D/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/libs_intermediates/javalib.jar'.  Stop.
 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/john/beta/ICS/LINUX/android/kernel'

Open in new window

Following is my mk file

LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := libs
LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := DemoApp
LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES :=

LOCAL_PROGUARD_FLAGS := -include $(LOCAL_PATH)/proguard.flags

LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED := disabled

#LOCAL_SDK_VERSION := current

include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)

##################################################
include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_PREBUILT_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := libs:jackson-all-1.6.2.jar

include $(BUILD_MULTI_PREBUILT)

include $(call all-makefiles-under, $(LOCAL_PATH))

Open in new window

Can someone please let me know the cause and solution for this error? Any help is appreciated with full points for sure.

"packages/apps/" would appear to be a relative path, rather than an /explicit/absolute path...

when you're in the subdir where you run the make command, can you do

CD packages/apps

and have it switch to that subdir?

If not, then you need to either make it an absolute path from root, or switch to the parent folder of packages/apps/ before running make.

Oh, and jackson-all-1.6.2.jar does really exist in ... packages/apps/DemoApp/ right?

Gee... How did you ever figure out the path was wrong?

>>Gee... How did you ever figure out the path was wrong?

By referring other apps in the android codebase to see the pattern they have used in .mk files for specifying jar.
