Build SFML For Android On Linux

Bash scripts to build SFML for Android, using the latest Android NDK

Requirements

Successfully building SFML requires that you have

• cmake (minimum version is 3.7.2)
• make
• git
• unzip
• wget

Additional requirements to enable parallel builds (compile SFML for every ABI at the same time):

• gnome-terminal

How to use it

● If you have NDK installed:

Run build-sfml.sh followed by the absolute path to your NDK. For example, if your NDK is located at /home/test/android-ndk-r19, then you have to run ./build-sfml.sh /home/test/android-ndk-r19.

● If you don't have NDK installed:

You can install the newest version before building SFML, by executing download-ndk-and-build-sfml.sh. You can also specify where to install ndk, by providing an absolute path to the script. For example, if you want to install it in /etc/Android, then you should run download-ndk-and-build-sfml.sh /etc/Android. After downloading the NDK, this script will also run build-sfml.sh and thus build SFML.

Path to the downloaded SFML repository

The script will download SFML to ~/SFML. For example, if your username is foo, you will be able to find the downloaded SFML repository at /home/foo/SFML.

Created scripts

The following scripts are created in ~/SFML/build and its subdirectories. They are also run by build-sfml.sh when it builds SFML for the first time. You can use them to rebuild SFML in case you modify something in it.

● rebuild-all.sh:

Rebuilds SFML for all ABIs.

● rebuild.sh (in each ABI's directory):

Rebuilds SFML for the ABI corrisponding to script's directory.
