How to compile Maxima on Android

Here is a list what you need to compile Maxima on Android.

• Eclipse IDE (3.7 and 4.2 are tested).
• Java SE Runtime Environment 1.6 (On Linux, Open JDK seems OK and Sun SDK is troublesome...)
• Android Development Tools 21.0 (from Eclipse menu "Install New Software ...")
• Android SDK (from Eclipse Android SDK Manager)

Here goes the step by step instructions on how to do that:

1. Slightly above here in this page, there is "ZIP" button. Using this, you can download the entire repository as a zip archive on your PC.

2. Open the zip archive and extract MaximaOnAndroid folder. Place it in your home directory.

3. Start the Eclipse.

4. Use File->Import menu in Eclipse to import MaximaOnAndroid folder.

5. Build the project. This may be done automatically depending on your settings of Eclipse. If you encounter errors related to @Override annotation, please set the Java compiler compliance level to 1.6 (or higher). To do so, right-click the project name in the package explorer and choose Properties menu, then choose Java Compiler.

6. Run the project. Before doing so, you should create a Android device (API level 8 or later).

Enjoy!!

Development Environment of mine: Eclipse Juno Service Release 1, running on Mac OS X 10.7.4.
