IBM Worklight - Mac - “'WEBWORKS_HOME' environment variable is undefined”

Question

I'm working to set up the BlackBerry 10 environment on IBM worklight on Mac OS X. I'm pretty sure that I correctly added the environment variable for the WebWorks SDK.

I added these 2 lines in these 2 files: .profile, .bash_profile:

export WEBWORKS_HOME=/Developer/SDKs/Research\ In\ Motion/BlackBerry\ 10\ WebWorks\ SDK\ 1.0.4.11<br>
export PATH=$PATH:$WEBWORKS_HOME

But I'm still getting this error during the build:

blackberry10 build failed: The 'WEBWORKS_HOME' environment variable is undefined.

Answer 1

The following worked for me.

1. Install the latest BlackBerry 10 WebWorks SDK from this location: https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/downloads/?os=mac#blackberry10

   As I was unable/unsure how to work with spaces in the variable path (there is a way to do so, I just haven't figured it out), I renamed the path folders:

   From: /Developer/SDKs/Research In Motion/BlackBerry 10 WebWorks SDK 1.0.4.11

   To: /Developer/SDKs/RIM/1.0.4.11

2. Open the Terminal application and

   • Type: sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf
   • Press 'i' to enter edit mode
   • Type: setenv WEBWORKS_HOME /Developer/SDKs/RIM/1.0.4.11
   • Press 'ESC' and type: :wq to save and quit VI
   • Restart the computer
