Android and iOS ports available for testing

[Mario]

Hah! Got it working again (and this time my source and build directories for OpenAL are in a clean and tidy state; I've somehow had quite a mess before).

I only had to perform one tiny adjustment:

• Clone the official(?) OpenAL-soft repository from git://repo.or.cz/openal-soft.git (just the master branch is enough).
  
• Open the CMakeLists.txt file and comment out line 1022:

Code: [Select]

#SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${LIBNAME} PROPERTIES VERSION ${LIB_VERSION})

• Create a build directory for each architecture and use SFML master's toolchain file with CMake to create makefiles. (I commented out the toolchain warnings to speed things up.)

• Everything should build out of the box and create the library files in libs/<architecture>. The common.a libs can be ignored.
  
• Do not use make install, copy the static libraries by hand.

when I call ndk-build on the sfml android example i get this error

Android NDK: WARNING: APP_PLATFORM android-17 is larger than android:minSdkVersion 9 in ./AndroidManifest.xml   
Android NDK: jni/Android.mk: Cannot find module with tag 'sfml' in import path

Sounds like "make install" for SFML somehow failed. Do you have the directory [ndk]/sources/sfml?

[arbitergoten]

no I don't  have [ndk]/sources/sfml

this is how my cmake-gui looks like

source code: /home/heresh/Downloads/SFML-master/

where to build: /home/heresh/Documents/sfml-build


BUILD_SHARED_LIBS =  TRUE
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE  = Release
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = /usr/local
GLEW_INSTALL_PATH = /usr/include
GLEW_LIBRARY  = /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so
SFML_BUILD_DOC      =    TRUE
SFML_BUILD_EXAMPLES       =   TRUE
SFML_INSTALL_PKGCONFIG_FILES    =   TRUE
SFML_OPENGL_ES    =    TRUE
UDEV_INCLUDE_DIR  =  /usr/include
UDEV_LIBRARIES  = /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so

then i go to  where it put the build files and call
make
sudo make install

and everything works fine no errors

Ah, you're building and installing the desktop version of SFML I guess. Building for Android is a bit more complicated unfortunately. I'll see if I have time to write some short readme/guide for the wiki.

[Mario]

Okay, started a new wiki page explaining building SFML for Android. It's still incomplete and might contain mistakes as well. If anyone feels like improving the page, go for it!

[Nexus]

Very nice Mario, thanks a lot! That will certainly open the Android port for more people, and it could even be used as inspiration for the official tutorials

[Lo-X]

Okay now you're talkin' Thanks Mario, I needed that stuff

[Peixinho]

Hi there,

is there any way to build a GL ES2.0 context? Can't seem to find any solution.

Thanks

[Laurent]

Nop, at the moment SFML is entirely based on GL ES 1.1.

[Peixinho]

I just need the context, the rest of it is handle by me. Just want to use the window and events with SFML.

[Laurent]

It is currently hard-coded. On iOS (EAGL) it should be farily easy to turn it into a public option, I don't know about EGL (Linux / Android).

[Peixinho]

That would be great if it could go public option!

Hi

I already built SFML-2.1 for android with mingw x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev3



It's all I need? I'm quite disorientated and I don't know how to compile my code for android

To write some actual app, have a look at the Android example.
