Roadmap:

1. Basic Android support
2. Equivalent support for SDL/OpenGL for local development

Android support

First, you need Android SDK and NDK

Then, in order to compile Gambit for Android, follow this instructions. Note that you can find it already compiled in jni/ext but in case you want to customize or compile against latest version, this works for me:

First of all, you need to define ANDROID_NDK_DIR to your NDK path Then, adapt the following:

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_NDK_DIR/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin
export LD=arm-linux-androideabi-ld
export AR=arm-linux-androideabi-ar
export STRIP=arm-linux-androideabi-strip
export RANLIB=arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib
export CC=arm-linux-androideabi-gcc
export CXX=arm-linux-androideabi-g++
export PREFIX=$ANDROID_NDK_DIR/../gambc
./configure --enable-single-host --prefix=$PREFIX --host=arm-eabi CC=arm-linux-androideabi-gcc CPPFLAGS="-DANDROID -I$ANDROID_NDK_DIR/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/include/ -fno-short-enums" CFLAGS="-DANDROID -fno-short-enums -I$ANDROID_NDK_DIR/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/include/ -nostdlib" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link=$ANDROID_NDK_DIR/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/lib/ -L$ANDROID_NDK_DIR/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/lib" LIBS="-lc -ldl"
make

It will break when trying to compile gsi, but you don't need it. You only need libgambc.a

Design notes:

• Multiplatform: All modules (audio, graphics, input, resources) are imported as needed by each version of the executable. There will be common funcionality implemented in those modules. Platform-specific functionality is implemented in the related PLATFORM/MODULE, but reexported by the module itself. COND-EXPAND takes care of properly exporting both the common and the platform-specific functions.

Troubleshooting

For every specific version of Gambit:

• Recompile Gambit for the host
• Recompile Gambit for the Android architecture, and copy the libgambc.a generated file to jni/ext

If you get a segmentation fault with Gambit when loading a module that is precompiled, probably it was compiled with a different Gambit version
