Android building problem

[rydwan66]

Hi

I'm trying to build Minetest apk, but I receive this error in terminal:

export NDEBUG=;
export BUILD_TYPE=debug;
make apk
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/aaa/minetest/build/android'
freetype sources missing, downloading...
/bin/sh: 5: git: not found

Try installing Git.

Thanks for an advice, cheapie. After the installation of git, the terminal started making apk again. Unfortunately it stopped, because another error message showed up:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'Minetest'.
> failed to find target with hash string 'android-23' in: /home/aaa/androidsdk

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

You need to make sure that you have "Android API level 23" installed in your Android SDK

I did what you told me to do. Now, I can build an unsigned APK. Thanks for help. However, I can't make a release build. I created "ant.properties" file and added a path to my keystore, but it doesn't ask me for my keystore and password.

key.store = /home/aaa/key/
key.alias = Minetest

I still haven't figured it out. I can only build an unsigned APK. Terminal seems to ignore my ant.properties file that I put in android/build. Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong here?

My ant.properties file:

key.store = /home/aaa/key/ - path where I put my keystore
key.alias = john - alias from my keystore

I'm not able to build Debug and Release builds for android. I'm following the tutorial, but I end up in the same place. After the build is finished, my apk can be found in build/outputs/apk/Minetest-release.apk, but according to the tutorial, it should be found in build/android/bin/. Can someone give me some hint?

This build could be faster, please consider using the Gradle Daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/2.10/userguide/ ... aemon.html
APK stored at: build/outputs/apk/Minetest-release.apk
You can install it with `make install_release`
