*) Android Changes:

You need to adapt your java and aidl source sets and your amazon lib dependency in your build.gradle file:

from:

sourceSets {
        main {
            java {
                srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/tests/source/'+project.ext.MURL_MODULE_BIN_FILE+'/java'
                srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/java'
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE != "samsung") {
                    exclude 'at/spraylight/murl/samsung/*'
                }
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE != "google") {
                    exclude 'at/spraylight/murl/googleplay/**'
                }
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE != "amazon") {
                    exclude 'at/spraylight/murl/amazon/*'
                }
            }
            aidl {
                srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/java'
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE != "google") {
                    exclude 'com/android/vending/billing/IInAppBillingService.aidl'
                }
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE != "samsung") {
                    exclude 'com/sec/android/iap/*'
                }
            }

to:

sourceSets {
        main {
            java {
                srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/tests/source/'+project.ext.MURL_MODULE_BIN_FILE+'/java'
                srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/java'
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE == "google") {
                    srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/iab/google/java'
                }
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE == "amazon") {
                    srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/iab/amazon/java'
                }
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE == "samsung") {
                    srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/iab/samsung/java'
                }
            }
            aidl {
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE == "google") {
                    srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/iab/google/aidl'
                }
                if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE == "samsung") {
                    srcDirs += project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/iab/samsung/aidl'
                }
            }

and from:

dependencies {
    if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE == "amazon") {
        compile files(project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/libs/in-app-purchasing-1.0.3.jar')
    }
}

to:

dependencies {
    if (project.ext.MURL_ANDROID_IAB_STORE == "amazon") {
        compile files(project.ext.MURL_ENGINE_ROOT+'/base/source/platform/android/iab/amazon/libs/in-app-purchasing-1.0.3.jar')
