Hi
There must be something else missing. Placing both jar files into /lib the error is thrown at an earlier step (14 sec vs 2 min 13 sec), and the error message is slightly different: Bad file format: ethiopia.osm.pbf
Oh, so are you compiling several pbf files and some work and one fails? The setup that ran for 2min 13sec was probably OK, but there is a faulty/bad pbf. If that is true, then you need to look at the individual pbf files, check that they are not zero size, too small or otherwise corrupted.
Failed to read binary file ethiopia.osm.pbf Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.combiners.FileInfo.getFileInfo(FileInfo.java:147) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.Main.endOptions(Main.java:429)
This happens happens after all pbf files have been compiled to .img files and it means that one of the files did not compile and so the .img is missing. ..Steve
