## Prerequisites
You need a complete android development environment ready to develop native apps. That means you have:
* [Android SDK](http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
* [Android NDK](https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html)
* The [ant tool](http://ant.apache.org/)
Use Google to figure out how to install that and make sure the appropriate executables from the above are in your path variable.
These instructions have been tested under Linux (Fedora 20). They _may_ also work in windows with cygwin.
## Getting the code
```bash
git clone https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super.git
cd libretro-super
./libretro-fetch.sh
```
`./libretro-fetch.sh` can fail on fork() calls, repeat until all are up to date
For `./libretro-build-android-mk.sh`, some cores may fail to compile (g++ "Argument list too long" error). See https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super/issues/10
## Building the cores
```bash
NOCLEAN=1 ./libretro-build-android-mk.sh
```
You can omit NOCLEAN=1 if you'd like to perform `make clean` on every core's repo before building each.
## Building RetroArch
The RetroArch repo is fetched into the `libretro-super` folder as `retroarch` by `./libretro-fetch.sh` above.
You first need to fetch the submodules for it. (will not be necessary when PR #3568 is merged)
```bash
cd retroarch
git submodule update --init
```
Then set up the android projects.
```bash
cd pkg/android/phoenix
android update project --path .
android update project --path libs/googleplay/
android update project --path libs/appcompat/ # this doesn't seem to exist anymore
```
Now edit `local.properties` to point to the location of your ndk directory by adding a line like this: `ndk.dir=/complete/path/to/android-ndk-r9d`
Finally, copy the cores, assets and overlays to the right place and build it.
```bash
mkdir -p assets/cores
mkdir assets/overlays
cp ../../../../dist/android/armeabi-v7a/* assets/cores/ #replace armeabi-v7a here by mips or x86 for those targets
cp -r ../../../../dist/info/ assets/
cp -r ../../../../retroarch/media/overlays/* assets/overlays/
ant clean
ant debug
```
If all goes well, this will spit out an .apk, `bin/retroarch-debug.apk`. Put it on your device with
```bash
adb install -r bin/retroarch-debug.apk
```
