Android building error

[Mainpage]

So one day i found this on the wiki http://dev.minetest.net/Android and thought that building minetest for android actually was quite easy So i followed the instructions and installed ALOT of stuff such as, the android sdk and ndk, which took forever btw. Anyways when I finally reached the last step and entered the "make" command in the terminal I was greeted by this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

export BUILD_TYPE=debug;                                                   \
make apk

:(
I think the problem is that it can't find the ndk, I can't figure out how to re-enter the path to the ndk (which I did do the first time, perhaps incorrectly.) And it looks like some file failed to build for some obscure reason that is beyond my comprehension. Anyways it would be great if someone could help me figure this stuff out for me, otherwise my few hours of work on this will all be moot.
Edit: I re-cloned the git and then ran the make command, it currently is building right now (It's taking forever).

Edit: done building, got this error

Okay so today I tried re-building it using the same git clone files (or whatever their called) and got the following code:

It looks like the debug failed.

Thanks, I updated my git, and It build successfully! Now I only have one question, which .apk is the one I use to install on a android phone and/or tablet, and what is it called? Again thanks for the help.
Edit: My build didn't work on my tab though I think it will work on other Android devices

[Mainpage]

I found one apk that installs fine and all but it wasn't build with minetest_game help?
EDIT: Okay I checked and found out that the giut clone didn't have minetest_game in it. So I'll try to find it and rebuild it then see how that goes.
EDIT: I cloned the minetest game from git, put it in the minetest/games folder but got this while building it

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

find: ‘./Minetest/games/minetest_game/.git’: No such file or directory


am I supposed to put it in minetest/builds/android/games, even though that folder doesn't exist?

[Wayward_One]

I get that error too, it's apparently harmless though as the apk still builds successfully with the _game.
FWIW, this is the script I use for fresh builds: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17272971/
And afterwards, I just

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

cd minetest; git pull; cd games/minetest_game; git pull

and then rebuild.

As for the two apks, according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22058210/why-unaligned-apk-is-needed, the aligned apk is preferred.

Also, about the problem running the apk, could you try posting the error (if any) from the debug.txt here or on GitHub?

I'll re-build with your script and see how that goes. Anyways here is the error:

Edit: Re-built with your build script and got the same error.
