I'd like to add our Little Mauve Riding Hood game to F-Droid, which is an alternate store for Android dedicated to free & open source software - including games
To ensure the game really is free software, F-Droid rebuilds all the submitted apps: you don't send an .apk - instead you submit a recipe which may point to a git repository, and the final .apk is built on their server.
The following documentation tracks my progress towards this goal.
Currently there are issues with:
- compilation in the limited fdroid buildserver environment, in particular rebuilding a full native renpy to start the APK builder
- stubbing several renpy optional utilities interfacing with pre-built or proprietary libraries
- missing Android SDK extras from Google

EDIT: here was my (obsolete) original post, the remaining issues are different:
Hi,
I'd like to add our Little Mauve Riding Hood game to F-Droid, which is an alternate store for Android dedicated to free & open source software - including games
To ensure the game really is free software, F-Droid rebuilds all the submitted apps: you don't send an .apk - instead you submit a recipe which may point to a git repository, and the final .apk is built on their server.
I'm trying to use ./build_renpy.sh from rapt-git, but there seem to be several implicit requirements.
Also there's no release tag for rapt-git and python_sdl2, so I don't know which revision I should checkout exactly.
Running I'm trying:
Code: Select all
$ apt-get install libsdl2-dev
$ PYTHONPATH=$(python -c 'import sys; print ":".join(sys.path)') bash -x ./build_renpy.sh android /mnt/workdir/renpy/renpy-6.99.0-git/ /mnt/workdir/renpy/pygame_sdl2/
...
'Could not find required library SDL2.'
Is there documentation on how to do a full APK rebuild from sources?
I would be happy to contribute.
