### Building RetroArch ### Building RetroArch
The RetroArch repo is fetched into the libretro-super folder as retroarch by `./libretro-fetch.sh` above.
```bash
cd retroarch/android/native
ndk-build clean APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a mips x86"
ndk-build APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a mips x86" APP_PLATFORM=android-17 # build native libs
cd ../phoenix
cp -R ../native/libs/* libs # copy native libs
cp -R ../../../dist/android/* libs # copy libretro cores
```
git clone https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git When you need to rebuild the native code, run this from retroarch/android/native:
cd RetroArch/android/native ```bash
ndk-build clean; ndk-build # build native libs ndk-build APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a mips x86" APP_PLATFORM=android-17
cd ../phoenix cp -R -f libs/* ../phoenix/libs
mkdir libs ```
cp -R ../native/libs/* libs # copy native libs
cp -R ../../../libretro-super/dist/android/* libs # copy libretro cores
cp -R ../../media/overlays/ assets/ # copy overlays
When you need to rebuild the native code, run this from RetroArch/android/native:
ndk-build; /bin/cp -R -f libs/* ../phoenix/libs
In Eclipse, set your workspace root to .../RetroArch/android. Then do "Import... - General - Existing Projects into Workspace" to get the native and phoenix projects in your workspace. I also copied the project.properties from phoenix to native, and created a src directory in native, to stop Eclipse from complaining, but that may just be because I'm using a really old version.
