h1. Building Qt/Android on Windows


Tested last time on branch 5.4 2015-01-22
Note, it is not currently possible to use Microsoft's compilers to build the Windows host tools for Qt Android.
== ——————— Configuration ——————— ==
* '''Install the latest Perl:'''<br />http://strawberryperl.com/<br />Select Destination folder (we'll call this &lt;PERL_ROOT&amp;gt;, and refer similarly to other install locations).
* '''Install the latest mingwbuilds MSYS and external binaries (for git):'''<br />http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/external-binary-packages/msys+7za+wget+svn+git+mercurial+cvs-rev13.7z/download<br />Extract this to &lt;MINGW_BUILDS_ROOT&amp;gt; (I use C:-buildsso I end up with C:-builds\msys
* '''Install the latest MinGW-w64 from mingwbuilds:'''<br />http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.8.1/32-bit/threads-win32/dwarf/x32-4.8.1-release-win32-dwarf-rev1.7z/download<br />extract to &lt;MINGW_BUILDS_ROOT&amp;gt; and add &lt;MINGW_BUILDS_ROOT&amp;gt;32\bin to the '''front''' of your PATH.
* '''Install the latest JDK 7:'''<br />http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html<br />Add &lt;JDK_ROOT&amp;gt;to PATH.
* '''Install Android NDK:'''<br />https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html<br />Extract to &lt;ANDROID_NDK_PATH&amp;gt;<br />If you have ndk9 installed update it to latest version cause it doesn't work any more.
* '''Install the latest Android SDK (tools only):'''<br />http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html<br />Run the Android SDK Manager and install the latest version of &quot;SDK Platform&amp;quot;, &quot;Google APIs&amp;quot; and &quot;build-tools&amp;quot; in &lt;ANDROID_SDK_PATH&amp;gt;
* '''Open cmd.exe window and perform some checks:'''<br />Ensure &quot;where gcc.exe&amp;quot; lists &lt;MINGW_ROOT&amp;gt;.exe first (before &lt;PERL_ROOT&amp;gt;.exe)<br />Ensure &quot;where mingw32-make.exe&amp;quot; lists &lt;MINGW_ROOT&amp;gt;32-make.exe first.<br />Ensure &quot;where perl.exe&amp;quot; lists &lt;PERL_ROOT&amp;gt;.exe first.<br />Ensure &quot;where javac.exe&amp;quot; lists &lt;JDK_ROOT&amp;gt;first.
* '''Add some environment variables:'''<br />set &quot;ANDROID_API_VERSION=android-21&amp;quot;<br />set &quot;ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=&lt;ANDROID_SDK_PATH&amp;gt;&quot;<br />set &quot;ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH=armeabi-v7a&amp;quot;<br />set &quot;ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_REVISION=21.1.2&amp;quot;<br />set &quot;ANDROID_NDK_PATH=&lt;ANDROID_NDK_PATH&amp;gt;&quot;<br />set &quot;ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=4.9&amp;quot;<br />set &quot;ANDROID_NDK_HOST=windows-x86_64&amp;quot;<br />or<br />set &quot;ANDROID_NDK_HOST=windows&amp;quot;<br />.. depending on which NDK you downloaded.
== ——————— Cloning ——————— ==
* '''Make the root folder for the Qt/Android build:'''<br />Make sure there are no spaces in this path and that it doesn't contain too many characters.<br />I went for &quot;C:&quot;<br /><code>mkdir C:cd C:</code>
* '''Follow step 4 at http://wiki.qt.io/Qt5ForAndroidBuilding'''
== ——————— Build steps ——————— ==
<code>configure.bat -developer-build -platform win32-g++ -opengl es2 -xplatform android-g++ -android-ndk ANDROID_NDK_PATH -android-sdk ANDROID_SDK_ROOT -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tests -nomake examples<br />mingw32-make.exe -j&amp;lt;N&amp;gt;</code>
..where &lt;N&amp;gt; is the number of parallel jobs your system can optimally exploit. If you have trouble, remove the <s>j&amp;lt;N&amp;gt;, and try again.
<br />* '''Follow steps 8..11 at http://wiki.qt.io/Qt5ForAndroidBuilding (replacing make with mingw32-make.exe)'''
<br />h2. ——————— Finally ———————
<br />You can also build Qt/Android from the MSYS shell</s> the one from mingw-builds that you already downloaded - following much the same procedure and using exactly the same software. This is currently left as an exercise for the reader.
