[99s-extend] Cowboy: Having problems with Getting Started

[lloyd at writersglen.com]

Hello,

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm having problems with the Getting Started chapter of the Cowboy Guide.

Near the end I can download relx just fine. But there seems to be a hidden assumption shared, perhaps, by all Erlang cowboys but outside my understanding.

When I get to $./relx, the following is returned:

lloyd at Reliance:~/hello_erlang/relx$ ./relx
===> Starting relx build process ...
===> Resolving OTP Applications from directories:
          /home/lloyd/hello_erlang/relx/ebin
          /home/lloyd/hello_erlang/relx/deps
          /usr/lib/erlang/lib

===> Resolving available OTP Releases from directories:
          /home/lloyd/hello_erlang/relx/ebin
          /home/lloyd/hello_erlang/relx/deps
          /usr/lib/erlang/lib

Failed to solve release:
 Dependency hello_erlang is specified as a dependency but is not reachable by the system.

I've added all variations to .erlang that I can think of to put hello_erlang into the code path, but none seem to work. Can some kind soul let me in on the secret?

Many thanks,

Lloyd
