GunBox-Android

    reLogI("Android Studio gradle scripts for GunBox project");

Prerequisites

Software

1. Android NDK r21
2. Android Studio 4.2
3. C++17 compiler
4. CMake 3.18.0 (installed externally)

Third Party Libraries

1. FreeType 2.9.1 (or newer)
2. SDL 2.0.10 (or newer)

Configuring the Build

1. Put FreeType library in the directory ExternalLibraries/FreeType2
2. Put SDL library in the directory ExternalLibraries/SDL2
3. Clone GunBox repository next to the Android project directory, e.g. folder structure:

 |
 +- GunBox                       <--- GunBox sources
    GunBox-Android               <--- Android app project
     +- ExternalLibraries
         +- FreeType2
              +- FreeType2       <--- FreeType2 sources
              +- CMakeLists.txt
         +- SDL2
              +- SDL2            <--- SDL2 sources
              +- CMakeLists.txt 
        GunBox-Android           <--- Android project
        GunBoxProject
         +- GunBox               <--- Symlink or source files
            MakeSymlink.bat      <--- Use to create a symlink

4. Create a symlink GunBox (or alternatively put the GunBox project source files inside) to the GunBox project source directory.

Notes

1. To prevent SDL_main from being stripped. The libraries are compile as static and linked with:

  $<$<PLATFORM_ID:Android>:-Wl,--whole-archive>
  GunBox_Engine_main
  $<$<PLATFORM_ID:Android>:-Wl,--no-whole-archive>

2. Deps.sdl2_LibraryDirectoryName is the directory containing the SDL2 sources

• In SDLActivity.java modify the method onCreate as described in the overridden method in MainActivity.java.
