HaO 2015-03-24: My intention is to collect reports building great Androwish with the aim to get stand-alone APK files with custom contents.
Contributions and ideas welcome.
Warning: I am an absolute beginner on Android.
Starting point is the description by chw at [L1 ] and some notes on the page Androwish.
Windows build stopped with ndk-build with a "command line to long" error. I tried cmd.exe and cygwin shell, same result.
Failed for me due to a to old clib.
I installed VirtualBox on my Windows 8.1 and OpenSuSE 13.2.
Activate Java 7 (e.g. 1.7):
update-alternatives --config java -> 1.7 update-alternatives --config javac -> 1.7 update-alternatives --config xml-commons-apis -> xerces-j2-xml-apis.jar
Set up Android build system:
cd ~ mkdir android cd android mkdir download
Downloaded in ~/android/download:
Unpack and install, androwish in folder "androwish" for easier access
cd ~/android tar xvzf download/android-sdk_r24.1.2-linux.tgz chmod +x download/android-ndk-r10d-linux-x86_64.bin download/android-ndk-r10d-linux-x86_64.bin tar xvzf download/androwish-e2aee3ea2ea718e7.tar.gz mv androwish-e2aee3ea2ea718e7 androwish
Open Android SDK manager:
~/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/android sdk -> Select Google APIs ARM EABI v7a System Image -> Unselect all other system images
Prepare build and let "android" create "local.properties":
export PATH=$PATH:~/android/android-sdk-linux/tools:~/android/android-ndk-r10d cd androwish android update project -p . --target 1
On "ant debug", I had the following build error I could not solve:
[exec] [armeabi] Compile thumb : tiff_tkimg <= tif_predict.c
[exec] /tmp/ccTUdnr3.s: Assembler messages:
[exec] /tmp/ccTUdnr3.s: Error: unaligned opcodes detected in executable segment
[exec] make: *** [obj/local/armeabi/objs/tiff_tkimg/libtiff/tif_predict.o] Error 1This is in jni/tiff. So I deleted the tkimg and jni/tiff folders:
rm -rf jni/tkimg jni/tiff
Now, an "ant debug" succeeds for me. The result is in "androwish/bin/AndroWish-debug.apk
Great, thank you, Cristian !
