Environment:
Pi Systems: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (revision a22082) and Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2 (revision 000e)
NXP Explorer Board (element14) Explore-NFC Rev 1.6
I am trying to build from source for both reference and I have a proof of concept project (part of a much larger project)
and need to develop some custom handling.
According to the current links (as of time of posting) from NXP website, I need the following archive files:
SW282816.zip
SW3639.zip
I am familiar with C and both read and code in it, but these are dusty skills, although in the past I have succeeded at
developing device drivers. Just to level set abilities. I am these days a Java Enterprise developer. My POC goal is to
build a Tomcat webapp that will on demand prepare the reader to receive information from an Android Kitkat+ device via
NFC. A step along the way will be do build out a Java JNI wrapper around access to the NXP board. The explorer examples
will act as a reference to determine what is needed in this JNI wrapper.
I don't see an archive for a compatible version of neardal - hence I fetched 0.14-3.tar.gz from github AppNearMe archives.
The resulting package builds without error. I am unsure if this code is compatible or not, which adds to my confusion. My understanding
is that this is the component that will interface with dbus. I see that the installation implants /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.neard. This configuration
file is slightly different than the one which is installed using the .deb files out of SW2827.zip. 2827 installs
Following the instructions in document AN11802.pdf, I have attempted to build what is needed from source. There are some issues
I am having difficulty resolving.
1) SW3639 is the NxpNfcRdLib. I encounter compile errors in NfcrdlibEx5_ISO15693 as follows:

All other code out of this project builds correctly. There is a resulting NxpNfcRdLib.a built without error, as well as the other examples.
2) SW282816 will not complete the cmake step. The CMakeFiles.txt at project top references an external project to build the NxpNfcRdLib. The cmake terminates when
it discovers the needed external project (which defaults to a subfolder of the project) is empty. I would rather not monkey around with the cmake file as my working style
is to build shell scripts that will idempotently build the artifacts needed - and sed'ing the CMakeFiles is not a fun coding exercise (but I will do it if I have to).
The relevant results of the cmake are:

makefile was not created - there was a cmake failure
3) Attempting to run neardal demo - I see 'no adapter found'
I have been sure to enable SPI on both Pi platforms, and lsmod shows:

In another terminal window, monitoring dbus, I see the following when I attempt to run the neardal demo:
