Building Android RetroArch

General Development
#1

Besides the Wiki are there any guides to building the Android version?

I’m running Win 7 64. I didn’t have anything setup previously so my cygwin64, SDK, NDK, Eclipse setups were new. I’ve followed the Wiki and imported the projects to Eclipse. I had a bunch of errors which looked to have been resolved by adding the android-support-v7-appcompat and google-play-services_lib libraries to the build path.

I don’t have any errors anymore and it does build the apk but when I run it on my phone it immediately errors and stops working.

From a fresh install of everything is there anything else I should do? Thanks.

Did you build NDK stuff? You also have to copy over assets/cores, etc. See https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/b … Eclipse.md

#3

is it possible to build with ant?

Iafter the ndk-build stuff I try to do ‘ant release’ in the android/phoenix dir but it returns this (file doesn’t exist) /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools/ant/build.xml:601: Invalid file: /builds/RetroArch/android/phoenix/libs/googleplay/build.xml

any ideas? if possible I want to avoid using eclipse.

Edit N/M think i figured it out, needed to run “android update project --path . --target android-17”

on a few dirs.
