Build Gideros On Windows
Here are some basic steps to build Gideros on Windows
In order to build the libgideros.so, install
- Java JDK (both version 6 and 7 are working fine)
- Apache Ant - http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
- Android SDK (get the SDK for an existing IDE) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Android NDK - https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html
Android NDK should be extracted to
c:\android-ndk
The "windows" build scripts use linux commands like mv/rm. To use these commands in windows
Install GNUWin CoreUtils: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm
And GNUmake: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
Then add to your windows PATH the location where they are installed. For me that was
C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin
To build the QT projects (exporter, etc.), install QT
Download and run the QT 5.3 ONLINE INSTALLER: http://qt-project.org/qt5/qt53
Click next and expand Qt5.3 and make sure MinGW is checked.
Install to location
C:\Qt\Qt5.3.0
Then you will need to install QScintilla: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/QScintilla2/QScintilla-2.8.4/QScintilla-gpl-2.8.4.zip
And build it:
cd Qt4Qt5 qmake qscintilla.pro make make install
Then you will be able to run buildqt.bat, all_windows.bat and copyall.bat
Copy the .bat files from QT5 into the main SCRIPTS folder to run them.
After doing the above, You will be able to build all QT executables and the libgideros file.
