Android SDK - -Download the SDK from http://developer.android.com/ and install -somewhere. You will need both the API level 8 (aka Android 2.2) and -API level 3 (aka Android 1.5) platforms. - -2. arm-*-linux-androideabi GCC toolchain - -You have several choices for toolchains: - - - Use Google arm-eabi prebuilt toolchain. - -This is shipped with both the Android source release and Android NDK. -The problem is that "arm-eabi-gcc" can't actually link anything -successfully without extra command line flags. To use this with the -ScummVM configure/build environment you will need to create a family -of shell wrapper scripts that convert "arm-oe-linux-androideabi-foo" to -"arm-eabi-foo -mandroid". - -For example, I use this script: - #!/bin/sh - exec arm-eabi-${0##*-} -mandroid -DANDROID "$@" - -... and create a family of symlinks/hardlinks pointing to it called -arm-oe-android-linuxeabi-gcc, arm-oe-android-linuxeabi-g++, etc. For -tools that don't take a "-mandroid" argument - like arm-eabi-strip - I -bypass the shell wrapper and just create an arm-oe-android-linuxeabi-strip -symlink to the tool directly. - -In practice you will probably need significant linker command line -massaging in order to get the crtbegin/end and libraries all linked in -the right way. It's not hard to do manually, but it is annoying to -script in a general purpose way. - - - Build your own arm-*-linux-androideabi toolchain from GCC source. - -This is lots of fun, but will become significantly easier once gcc-4.6 -is released. In the interim, I suggest using my precompiled Android -openembedded-based toolchain: - wget http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/anr/sdk/android-2.2-i686-linux-armv5te-linux-androideabi-toolchain-android.tar.bz2 - sudo tar jxf android-2.2-i686-linux-armv5te-linux-androideabi-toolchain-android.tar.bz2 -C / - . /usr/local/android/arm/environment-setup - -Alternatively, do a websearch - there are several other cross-compile -toolchains around. - - -Building ScummVM -================ - -(Optionally) compress scummmodern.zip: -(ScummVM usually ships it uncompressed, but Android can read it more -efficiently if it is compressed *before* adding it to the apk) - - ( cd gui/themes/scummmodern && zip -f ../scummmodern.zip ) - -Then build ScummVM: - - export ANDROID_SDK= - - PATH=$ANDROID_SDK/platforms/android-1.6/tools:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$PATH - # You also want to ensure your arm-oe-linux-androideabi toolchain is in $PATH - - ./configure --backend=android --host=android --enable-zlib --disable-timidity - # ... and any other configure flags you want - make scummvm.apk - -This will build a "monolithic" ScummVM package, with the engines -statically linked in.
