SCUMMVM

Instructions at http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Compiling_ScummVM/Android. I’m willing to bet it’s not easy. Then you have the problem of the plugins. Google Play has separate packages for each type of game that need to be installed on top of the main one.

I got stuck compiling Tremor (for ogg). It says I must have ogg installed when I run the configure command. It could be because I’m on OpenSuse. I get a similar problem with mad (for mp3) yet I have libmad0 installed. The precompiled binaries for it are 404.

I’ve created a preliminary recipe anyway as the main app builds. The make command actually makes apk’s and also a lot of apks for the different engines depending on what’s required. All they have is a .so engine file in a mylibs/ directory. I can’t see why they can’t include them the main app and if we could do that then distribution would be a lot simpler

Please search before posting and include as much information as possible, including the licence.

So that bundles everything into the one apk… That would probably be best: making plugin packs of a handful of libraries would probably be hard.

Our build system is documented at F-Droid.org/manual. Essentially fdroid runs $ant release following some preparation. If audio libraries need building they get built in the preparation. Then ant release would get removed from Makefile and make would be run.

Just been trying with the forgotten init line:(building right now with --default-dynamic this time). Getting this during the build too: `HEAD is now at b31465b Fix for Moz BZ #719612 for tremor-lowmem
Current branch HEAD is up to date.
fatal: Not a valid object name rb31465b840
cat-file commit rb31465b840: command returned error: 128`
i.e. wrong revision for Tremor (although I have that revision present in the srclib, so maybe it’s not a problem).

fatal: Not a valid object name rb31465b840

Update to the latest fdroidserver and replace “b31465b840” with “18154” in the recipe.

Great to see work being done on getting scummvm into f-droid.

However, its useless without the plugins too.

You don’t have to point out something that obvious 🙂 Our build uses the same method as (I believe) upstream nightlies – all plugins are bundled together with engine in the single apk.

Website reads: “In a few cases, we do not (yet) have new binaries of ScummVM and/or the ScummVM tools for some platforms. In these cases, we still have older versions around, for your convenience.”
there are current nightly builds however: http://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html

latest stable release: 1.8.0 – 2016-03-04
http://scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/1.8.0/ReleaseNotes
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/releases/tag/v1.8.0

maybe it works again?
