Instructions:

For detailed instructions please refer to the wiki at https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love-android-sdl2/wiki/Home.

Download:

You can download pre-built Android packages from https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads that allow you to run .love files by opening them using a file manager of your choice.

Quick Start:

Install the Android NDK and the Android SDK with SDK API 23, set the environment variables ANDROID_NDK, ANDROID_SDKand ANDROID_HOME, create a file local.properties with contents:

ndk.dir=/opt/android-ndk
sdk.dir=/opt/android-sdk

(you may have to adjust the paths to the install directories of the Android SDK and Android NDK on your system) and run

./gradlew build

in the root folder of this project. This should give you a .apk file in the app/build/outputs/apk/ subdirectory that you can then install on your phone.

Alternatively, you can install Android Studio. After opening it for the first time, open it's SDK Manager and on the tab "SDK Tools", select NDK. After that, open the repository root.
