SMW on Android

This repository contains build scripts and makefiles for the Android port of Super Mario War.

This port is experimental and not yet ready to play. The game currently requires at least Android 4.0.3 (API 15), and uses SDL2.

Requirements

• Android SDK and NDK, preferably the latest available. Make sure android and ndk-build is in your PATH.
• Android 4.0.3 (API 15) SDK platform (you can install it with android)
• Ant (eg. sudo apt-get install ant)
• Git (eg. sudo apt-get install git)
• wget (most likely you already have it), for pulling SDL2 sources

Building instructions

Just run build.sh, it will check if the tools are available, pull the SMW source code, get the dependencies, then set up and build the project. By default, it builds in Release mode for all platform supported by the NDK; use --help to see the optional parameters.

Debugging

Make sure you've run the build with --debug. Connect your Android device, or start the emulator, then

adb push supermariowar/data /sdcard/supermariowar/data/
cd android-project
ant installd
ndk-gdb --start --verbose

In some NDK versions you can get errors about a missing gdb.setup file, even in debug build. You can fix this by simply copying or linking the gdb files to android-project/libs, eg.:

cd libs
ln -s armeabi/gdbserver
ln -s armeabi/gdb.setup
