failing to compile sample android app with buildozer

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

Hey,

I am on ubuntu 13.10 and I installed buildozer via pip.
Now, in a directory with a simple main.py, I run:

buildozer init

Then I change the requirements in the buildozer.spec so that it reads:

requirements = kivy pyjnius

and I run

 buildozer --verbose android debug deploy run

which finishes with this error message:

# Install requirement kivy pyjnius in virtualenv
# Run 'pip-2.7 install --download-cache=/home/ls/.buildozer/cache --target=/home/ls/src/BuildozerTest/.buildozer/applibs kivy pyjnius'
# Cwd /home/ls/src/BuildozerTest/.buildozer

    Cython is missing, its required for compiling kivy !

Do you have cython installed? That's what all the error messages are complaining about.

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

I have installed cython via apt-get

> cython --version
Cython version 0.19

I can also do "from Cython.Distutils import build_ext" in ipython without trouble.

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

It is incorrect to add pyjnius to the requirements, sinse it always comes with python-for-android.
When removing it, it works.

I had same issue.
Answer of @RudolfVonKrugstein solved this.

[tejastank]

I had Cython version 0.25.2 installed even face similar issue.
