How Compile Android version with Cygwin [Faq]

[MaXiMu]

requirements
Cygwin
Android SDK For windows
NDK For windows
JDK x86 for windows
WinAnt Install

1. Cygwin
- Need to install devel packages
- Optional I recomended install one editor package Unix style -> nano or vim
- Wait Download and install packages Depend you conexion and PC.









2 . path environment variables SDK/NDK
-Once SDK and NDK downloaded and unzipped and installed JDK/Winant.
-You need path variables SDK/NDK on cygwin
- Doble click Cygwin terminal
- edit .bashrc_profile in terminal

Code:

nano .bashrc_profile

Add you path folder for Android-sdk/tools / Android-sdk/platforms-tools and android-ndk -> /cygdrive/letter partition/Folder/

Code:

export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8b
export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/tools

And update path

Code:

source .bash_profile

Now download source Github in terminal

Code:

git clone https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git

Download submodule Native

Code:

cd ppsspp
git submodule init
git submodule update

Now edit in cd ppsspp/android

Code:

nano project.properties

Code:

target=android-16
android.library.reference.1=../native/android

And

Code:

nano ab.sh

Code:

NDK_MODULE_PATH=..:../native/ext ndk-build -j 3

Now need create build.xml for ant

NOTE : You need download first API 16

In the cygwin you write

Code:

android.bat

Wait load android SDK Manager -> select Android 4.1.2 (API 16) and install.

Code:

cd
android.bat update project --target android-16 --path ppsspp/android
android.bat update project --target android-16 --path ppsspp/native/android

Now go to ppsspp/android

Code:

cd ppsspp/android
sh ab.sh

Note : Wait Several minutes for compile libnativeaudio.so and ppssppjni.so

If Correct See who are two files .so in the folder libs/armeabi-v7a

Finally ant debug

Code:

Ant debug

If you've gotten this far without error and you make the apk in / bin is that you've accomplished correctly.

I find it much easier to just use the Android NDK, "ab.cmd" and Eclipse to then build and start the Android APK, but sure

I have this error in cygwin

Code:

Marc@Marco ~
$ git clone https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git
Cloning into 'ppsspp'...
error: error setting certificate verify locations:
  CAfile: /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
  CApath: none while accessing https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed

How to resolve it?

You try should fix with git config --system http.sslcainfo \\bin\\curl-ca-bundle.crt

But If not work possible missing curl-ca-bundle.crt package re-install cygwin and research ca-certificate package

No idea for this error I don't install this package in my pc.

Hi,
downloading ca-certificate helped. Now I'm at

NOTE : You need download first API 16

Code:
Write android.bat in cygwin terminal and select to download android 4.1.2

Can you advise what to do in this step cause I'm a bit lost.

In the cygwin you write android.bat

[macia10]

android.bat does not wrok for me but I've downloaded API16 manually. I can see that android.bat is needed later. Where should it be and how to get it?

EDIT:
and after I did this:

Quote:Add you path folder for Android-sdk/tools / Android-sdk/platforms-tools and android-ndk -> /cygdrive/letter partition/Folder/

Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8b
export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/tools

And update path

Code:
source .bash_profile

should it see ndk-build command? Because it does not... paths are correct as I'm using exactly the same.

[MaXiMu]

these path environments is in my case on my pc and I use for example .

/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools = C:/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools
/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8b = C:/android-ndkr8b
/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/tools = C:/Android/android-sdk/tools

/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/tools = C:/Android/android-sdk/tools

I have the exactly same one's. Could you tell me more about android.bat file? where it should be and what's the content. Could you maybe PM me with your msn mail or other communicator for faster communication ?

[MaXiMu]

Android.bat is part By SDK android common used for update and create build.xml for android ant project or access SDK manager in tools folder



In any case if you tell me at what point you lose exactly?.

ndk-build not found by cygwin?, android.bat not work on cygwin?.

[macia10]

both actually should android.bat work from any dir? Basically I did everything until android.bat which does not work.
Probably something is wrong here

export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8b
export PATH=${PATH}:/cygdrive/c/Android/android-sdk/tools

And update path

Code:
source .bash_profile

When I type just $PATH I get:

Code:

Marc@Marco ~
$ $PATH
-bash: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program: No such file or directory

Bash_profile

Quote:should android.bat work from any dir?

Yes if path enviroment folder is correct

Hi,
Now I can see the problem

Code:
nano .bashrc_profile

and should be nano .bash_profile
the file name was bad...
But now I have another problem.

Code:

$ android.bat update project --target android-16 ppsspp/android
Error: Argument 'ppsspp/android' is not recognized.

       Usage:
       android [global options] update project [action options]
       Global options:
  -h --help       : Help on a specific command.
  -v --verbose    : Verbose mode, shows errors, warnings and all messages.
     --clear-cache: Clear the SDK Manager repository manifest cache.
  -s --silent     : Silent mode, shows errors only.

                         Action "update project":
  Updates an Android project (must already have an AndroidManifest.xml).
Options:
  -l --library    : Directory of an Android library to add, relative to this
                    project's directory.
  -p --path       : The project's directory. [required]
  -n --name       : Project name.
  -t --target     : Target ID to set for the project.
  -s --subprojects: Also updates any projects in sub-folders, such as test
                    projects.

---

Ok found the problem. Another line is wrong
it is
Code:
cd
android.bat update project --target android-16 ppsspp/android
android.bat update project --target android-16 ppsspp/native/android

and should be
Code:
cd
android.bat update project --target android-16 --path ppsspp/android
android.bat update project --target android-16 --path ppsspp/native/android
