Title: [SOLVED] ERROR: building and compiling SFML for Android
Post by: RunRanger on August 11, 2014, 01:35:41 am
Hey  :D

I tried to set up SFML for Android by following many guides like the Thread in this forum or the guide on Git  but every way i found i get errors :(
I searched 3 days for a solution but i didn't find any so i hope i get help.
Forum Guide: http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=13716.0 (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=13716.0)
Git Guide:https://github.com/SFML/SFML/wiki/Building-SFML-for-Android (https://github.com/SFML/SFML/wiki/Building-SFML-for-Android)




But every time i build it i get errors :/

Error by using MinGW MakeFiles on cmd:
Command I used:
Quote
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=9 -DANDROID_USE_STLPORT=TRUE -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=B:\Bearbeitung\ProgrammierungAppAndroid\libs\SFML\cmake\toolchains\android.toolchain.cmake -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=B:\Bearbeitung\ProgrammierungAppAndroid\libs\android-ndk-r9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\make.exe

Command I used:

System:

Programms:

I hope my English isn't so bad :S I beg your pardon.

When working with CMake, always use forward slashes rather than backslashes in path names.

Also try using a command line tool (nmake or make), the Visual Studio IDE will screw up the compiler settings for whatever reason.

Thanks for the replies :)

I've seen you have edited the Building-Guide  :D

I followed it 3-times again and considerd your reply, but everytime the cmd gave me the same error :/

You've got something under "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files" that isn't properly called by make (i.e. spaces in the path but no quotes around it).

Where did you install/unpack the Android NDK?
Title: Re: ERROR: building and compiling SFML for Android
Post by: RunRanger on August 15, 2014, 01:10:47 pm
I unpacked it under:
C:\android-ndk-r9


I reinstall all programms (CMake), which i need, in a path without spaces.
New Paths:
CMake : C:\CMake
NDK    : C:\android-ndk-r9
MinGW: C:\MinGW

SDK     : C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
Git       : C:\Program Files (x86)\Git




[EDIT:]

Now i get a new ERROR:

I got it compiled :D

I changed the MinGW to the MinGW of Code::Blocks and used "mingw32-make install" to compile.

But i get it only compiled with the CMake-GUI and there's also one problem.
The compiled SFML is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML instead of my Android-NDK Sources file :/

[EDIT]:
It seems, the settings of the CMakeLists.txt didn't load :/ How can i fix this for the gui?




If I use the Shell Command, an error occurs:

I use:

Code: [Select]
cd C:\Programacion\C++\Android\SFML
SET ANDROID_NDK=C:\Programacion\C++\Android\android-ndk-r9d
cmake.exe -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\Programacion\C++\Android\SFML\cmake\toolchains\android.toolchain.cmake -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM="%ANDROID_NDK%\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\make.exe"

Perhaps need reinstall MinGW... i personally use IDE Code::Blocks that install MinGW...
Title: Re: ERROR: building and compiling SFML for Android
Post by: RunRanger on August 17, 2014, 03:55:16 pm
i have both installed.  And tested it both.

But i swtich between them after every compiling-try, by changing the path in the enviroment variable PATH.
=> So i don't use both at the same time.


[EDIT]:
Is it possible, that the standart C++ libary isn't included? NMake and Mingw-make always throught out the same Error. => they can't find ostream
If I'm right, how can I fix this?

I tried many thinks out, but everytime the same Error occured :(
By the help of Veltas i can give out the complete message by using "SET VERBOSE=1":

Error as text:

Things i have changed without succes:
- changed CMake Version (2.8.9,    2.8.12,   3.0.1)
- using CMake-Gui and Command Prompt
- using MinGW solo and CodeBlocks MinGW-files
- deleting #include <ostream> => a new #include gives an error
- editing #include <ostream> into #include <iostream>  => the same error but at this time it can't find iostream
- restartet everytime from scratch

What's the file system you're using on C:? Unlikely, but might explain the path name issues. Besides that, are you sure your NDK dir is fine and there isn't anything moved by accident or anything similar?
Title: Re: ERROR: building and compiling SFML for Android
Post by: RunRanger on August 20, 2014, 10:58:41 pm
file system C: NTFS

I only changed sometimes the NDK (switch between 32 and 64 bit)


[EDIT:] I've reinstalled all programms but nothing changed :/ (also NDK and SDK)

This is really weird. It should find standard headers anytime. Still complaining about ostream? If so, out of ideas right now.

Post by: RunRanger on August 30, 2014, 02:43:50 am
I get it worked :D


Thanks a lot Mario for helping me ;)
The error was occured by the NDK, as you believed.

The NDK 9 Version, which i used before hadn't included the cxx-std-libs. So I switched to NDK10 and downloaded the NDK-Tool + NDK cxx-std-libs.

Ah... completely forgot about the different stdlib implementations. :) Fine.
