I saw your commits into dev branch and android build script changes, how can I build for Android minko engine?

Hi,

The documentation is not up-to-date, but there's a start here (only tested on OS X).

No, on windows it does not work, your search ANDROID with meaning of ANDROID NDK, under windows there is no "toolchains/default.txt" so probably this need to be fixed.

It should be fixed next week.

We've made tremendous progress on the Android build, especially for Windows. The changes will be available in dev next week.

Can't wait to see changes, thanks.

The documentation has been updated and should now be complete:

http://doc.v3.minko.io/wiki/Compiling_the_SDK_for_Android

The actual required changes for this doc to work will soon be merged in dev.

Can't wait to see the updated Android build process, the old process is quite complex.

As you can read on the doc above, as soon as you have properly installed the Android SDK + NDK, building for android is as simple as:

make config=android_release

And the app is automagically deployed on your Android device.

I don't think we could make this any simpler :)

I want to build Android version on Windows. I followed the doc above and found "tool\win\script\install_jni.bat" file is missing.

daiwei1999 avatar Sep 12 '14 02:09 daiwei1999

Android NDK from r8 version has already integrated with cygwin. So I think the installation process of cygwin on Windows in the doc above can be omitted.

daiwei1999 avatar Sep 12 '14 03:09 daiwei1999

I'm sorry, we're still patching things up on Windows. The documentation might not be up-to-date.

Regarding Cygwin, the documentation on the official Android website is scarce (or non-existent), so I thought it'd be better to explain it here.

I'm having problems building for Android in Linux. I tried script/solution_gmake_android.sh per the documentation but that file seems to just be a link that can't be found.

I tried running ./script/solution_gmake_gcc.sh as I see that's what's contained in solution_gmake_android.sh but that doesn't do much for me either. It produces a make file but make config=android_release fails on it.

I imagine it's something simple that I'm doing wrong, just can't figure out what it is...

The documentation says that you should run tool/lin/script/solution_gmake_android.sh to build the framework.

@DevinCharles are you trying to build the framework or a separate project? Can you detail what's failing?
