Here are some basic steps to build Gideros on Windows

In order to build the libgideros.so, install

• Java JDK (both version 6 and 7 are working fine)
• Apache Ant - http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
• Android SDK (get the SDK for an existing IDE) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
• Android NDK - https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html

Android NDK should be extracted to

c:\android-ndk

The "windows" build scripts use linux commands like mv/rm. To use these commands in windows

Install GNUWin CoreUtils: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm

And GNUmake: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm

Then add to your windows PATH the location where they are installed. For me that was

C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin

To build the QT projects (exporter, etc.), install QT

Download and run the QT 5.3 ONLINE INSTALLER: http://qt-project.org/qt5/qt53

Click next and expand Qt5.3 and make sure MinGW is checked.

Install to location

C:\Qt\Qt5.3.0

Then you will need to install QScintilla: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/QScintilla2/QScintilla-2.8.4/QScintilla-gpl-2.8.4.zip

And build it:

cd Qt4Qt5
qmake qscintilla.pro
make
make install

Then you will be able to run buildqt.bat, all_windows.bat and copyall.bat

Copy the .bat files from QT5 into the main SCRIPTS folder to run them.

After doing the above, You will be able to build all QT executables and the libgideros file.
