● What's cocos2dx?

Cocos2d-x is a game engine

branched from Cocos2d-iPhone, which consists of expanding

supported platforms, with multiple choice of programming languages thats shares the same API

structure.

http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r8e-Cygwin: http://cygwin.com/setup.exe

Setup tools.

Cocos2dx package: unzip package that we have just download

Build package:

2 option: (only use one of them)

1 Build by build-win.bat: Go to root folder of

cocos2d and run build-win32.bat

2 Use Visual Studio 2010: Open

cocos2d-win32.vc2010.sln in root folder of cocos2d and

build all project in this solution

Setup tools.

Android NDK package: unzip this package

Install Cygwin: open setup.exe, when we meet

“select package” screen, we choose the same at below image

Ex: InstallWizardForVC2010Express for Visual

Studio Express 2010

Build native code for project: Run build_native.sh in prject, in cygwin terminal you must go to current path of project and run “build_native.sh”

Ex: sh build_native.sh

Import project to eclipse and run on emulator

Enjoy!

Errors that we can meet.

Config wrong paths for android sdk, android ndk, cygwin, etc

Cannot run on emulator: open virtual device in device manager and check “USE HOST GPU”

Tip: setup crossplaform project

In tutorial above we can create android project

So we need create win32 project that use source code the same at android native source code

Step1: create android project

Step 2.1: in VS create win32 project that have the same name android project

Complete

Step 2.2: If you choose ‘Create new solution’, go to step 3

Result of step 2.2:

Step 3: delete *.opensdf, *.sdf, *.sln, *.suo

– Result:

Step 4: move “proj.win32” to the same struct folder

as proj.android

Step 5: open proj.win32 by VS and save solution file

in coco2sx root path

Tip: Config “include” path for VS

open <project name>.win32.vcxproj by notepad++

Find <AdditionalIncludeDirectories> tag, and add

folder path that VS need search it to find “include” file

Tip:How to setup in Eclipse to work with C++

First, we need install C++ to Eclipse:

Go to Help/Install New Software

In “Work with” dropdown, select your eclipse version.

Finding “Programing Languages” and select

“C/C++ Development Tools” and “C/C++

Development Tools SDK”

Click Next and install them.

We have the android project after create by “create-android-

project.bat” and build by Cygwin throught “build_native.sh”.

Now, we’ll import that android

project to Eclipse.

Then, select the project.

File->New-> Other

Select “Convert to a C/C++

Project (Adds C/C++ Nature” And Click Next

Select “Make file project” and select

“Other toolchain”

Click “Finish”

Right click in your project->

Properties

In “C/C++ Build” , modify like the

image below with “HelloCaiTo” be replace by you project name

Next, in “C/C++ General” ,select

“Paths and sysbols”

In “Includes” tab , select “GNU C+ +”

Click “Add ”

-After click “Add ” ,choose “File system” and select to your android

NDK->platforms->{Select your android version} ->arch-arm->usr->include

Click OK

-And add the same with {Location of cocos2d-x}/cocos2dx/include (see image) -Click “Apply” and rebuild project

Then, go to “Source Location” tab

First it do not contain the “Classes” and the “cocos2dx” like the image.

We need to add to your project.

Select “Link Folder ”

Check “Link to folder file system ” and

“Browse ” to your “Classes” folder in your

project-> “OK”

Do the same with your “cocos2dx” folder in the location which you save your cocos2d-x

- Click “Apply”

Modify NDK root/build/core/build-binary.mk

Go to line: 49

Change: $(cleantarget):

PRIVATE_CLEAN_FILES := ($(my)OBJS) To: $(cleantarget):

PRIVATE_CLEAN_FILES := $($

(my)OBJS)

There is a second issue that only affects Max OS X

developers using the 64-bit NDK (i.e the download

with the file name

android-ndk-r8e-darwin-x86_64.tar.bz2) The fix is trivial and requires you to make the following one-line changes to these two files:

{ANDROID_NDK_root}/build/core/init.mk: Re place line 229:

ifneq (,$(shell file -L $(SHELL) | grep

‘x86[_-]64′))

with this:

ifneq (,$(shell file -L $(SHELL) | grep

‘[xX]86[_-]64′))

Now, clean your project and run
