no 'limits.h', 'sys/types.h' and "recipe for target 'example.o' failed"

Hi there,
I'm new to this project, and trying to create the developer environment just so i could compile the app to an .apk file to run on my phone before starting to play with it.

While going over the instructions to build the project on in "BUILDING.md", i got to step 3 and runing the second line in the terminal:
make TARGET=android-armeabi-v7a GDAL_USE_KDU=no build_spatialite build_gdal build_commoncommo build_assimp
it runs, and then gets an error, this is what i got:

make -C /home/j/Java-Projects/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/takthirdparty/builds/android-armeabi-v7a-release/zlib

does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Is there a reason you are trying to build ancient baseline? This GitHub project has been abandoned and you can get the latest SDKs for development by registering for an account on tak.gov.

@talentedbrute
TAK.gov points to this repository. Am I missing something on getting the most up to date codebase for TAK?

Yeah don't use this project, it's practically abandoned at this point. If you are looking for SDKs, as I stated before, get a TAK.gov account. Using this source is useless and doesn't gain you anything. What is on GitHub is source for v4.6 the latest release of the app is v5.1 on TAK.gov.
