Build SFML For Android On Windows

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

Requirements

Successfully building SFML requires that you have the following in your PATH:

• cmake (minimum version is 3.7.2)
• git
• the directory where MinGW is installed (for example, C:\Program Files\mingw32\bin). You can check this by trying to run mingw32-make in CMD.

How to use it

● If you have NDK installed:

Run build-sfml.bat followed by the absolute path to your NDK. For example, if your NDK is located at D:\NVPACK\android-ndk-r19, then you have to run build-sfml.bat D:\NVPACK\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.bat. 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 D:\Android, then you should run download-ndk-and-build-sfml.bat D:\Android. After downloading the NDK, this script will also run build-sfml.bat and thus build SFML.

Build type

By default, these scripts build SFML in Debug mode. To build it in Release mode, you have to provide --release as the last argument to either build-sfml.bat or download-ndk-and-build-sfml.bat. For example, build-sfml.bat D:\NVPACK\android-ndk-r19 --release.

Path to the downloaded SFML repository

The script will download SFML to %userprofile%\SFML. For example, if your username is Foo, you will be able to find the downloaded SFML repository at C:\Users\Foo\SFML.

Created scripts

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

● rebuild-all.bat:

Rebuilds SFML for all ABIs.

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

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