-This is a simple guide on how to build Minetest for Android on Ubuntu <b>on a 64 bit system</b>. Building on 32 bit systems should work too when the urls and paths are replaced accordingly. This guide covers all preparation needed. Once everything is set up, Minetest only needs <code>cd build/android && make</code> to compile.
+See https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/README.android
-=== Required packages ===
-Git and make are neccessary: <br\><br/>
-<code>
-sudo apt-get update<br/>
-sudo apt-get install make m4 subversion git-core build-essential<br/><br/>
-</code>
-As your architecture is 64 bit, you need additional packages:<br/><br/>
-<code>
-sudo apt-get install --force-yes libgd2-xpm ia32-libs ia32-libs-multiarch
-</code>
-=== Getting the SDK and NDK ===
-<code>
-wget https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.0.1-linux.tgz -O android-sdk.tgz <br\>
-wget https://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r10e-linux-x86.bin -O android-ndk-r10e.bin <br\>
-tar xf android-sdk.tgz <br\>
-chmod +x android-ndk-r10e.bin <br\>
-./android-ndk-r10e.bin <br\>
-android-sdk-linux/tools/android update sdk --no-ui -a --filter platform-tool,android-10,build-tools-21.1.2 <br\><br/>
-</code>
-The last line will ask for your confirmation multiple times.
-=== Obtaining and building Minetest ===
-Clone Minetest, and build it:<br/><br/>
-<code>
-git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git <br\>
-cd minetest/build/android <br\>
-make <br\>
-</code>

-== Building and Running ==
-=== Building ===
-What you need:
-* GNU/Linux
-* Android NDK
-* Standalone toolchain made with Android NDK (with <code>android_native_app_glue.h</code> copied into <code><TOOLCHAIN_ROOT>/sysroot/usr/include</code>)
-:* '''You need to use Clang''' as GCC produces broken code
-* Android SDK
-* Android device
-* Git
-* CMake
-* Ant
-* ''ADB (optional but very useful)''
-==== Irrlicht ====
-Clone <code>https://github.com/sfan5/irrlicht-android</code>.
-Make sure you have arm-linux-androideabi-gcc ''(It's ok to use gcc for Irrlicht)'' and arm-linux-androideabi-g++ usable and run <code>make</code> in <code>source/Irrlicht</code>.
-This will build Irrlicht as static and shared library and place it in <code>lib/Linux</code>
-==== Minetest ====
-Clone <code>https://github.com/sfan5/minetest</code> and switch to the <code>android_new</code> branch.
-Configure it using CMake like this:
-<pre>
-$ cmake . \
-    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=`which arm-linux-androideabi-clang` \
-    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=`which arm-linux-androideabi-clang++` \
-    -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH=<sysroot of your android toolchain> \
-    -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE=ONLY \
-    -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY=ONLY \
-    -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM=BOTH \
-    -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Linux \
-    -DIRRLICHT_LIBRARY=<path to libIrrlicht.a> \
-    -DIRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR=<path to include/ of Irrlicht> \
-    -DANDROID=1 \
-    -DANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY=<path to libandroid_support.a> \
-    -DANDROID_SUPPORT_INCLUDE_DIR=<patch to <NDK_DIR>/source/android/support/include> \
-    -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
-</pre>
-Now just enter <code>make package</code>.
-After make is done go into the <code>Android</code> directory and run <code><SDK_DIR>/tools/android update project --path .</code>.
-Then copy the .so using <code><NDK_DIR>/ndk-build</code> and build the apk using <code>ant debug</code>.
-You will then have the resources in minetest-''x.x.x''.tar.gz and the apk at <code>Android/bin/Minetest-debug.apk</code>.
-You will only need to do the “Android update project” step once.
-=== Running ===
-For this step you need '''minetest-''x.x.x''.tar.gz''' and '''Minetest-debug.apk''' from the previous step.
-Put all resource files & folders (builtin, client, ...) into <code>/sdcard/minetest</code> on your Android device.
-Install <code>Minetest-debug.apk</code>.
-Now touch the Minetest icon and the lovely main menu should appear.
-== Development notes ==
-=== General notes ===
-* cURL does not work
-:* TLS support is needed too
-::* Idea: Use GnuTLS or LibreSSL, because OpenSSL is a nightmare to cross-compile
-* Add Bluetooth support for local multiplayer (maybe)
-:* see (http://people.csail.mit.edu/albert/bluez-intro/x559.html or http://people.csail.mit.edu/albert/bluez-intro/x502.html) and https://github.com/sfan5/minetest/tree/bluetooth
-* OpenAL with Android support: https://github.com/AerialX/openal-soft-android
-=== Getting stuff to work without libCrystax ===
-* Frequently crashes after going through <code>std::ios_base::~ios_base()</code>
-:* Probably related to removal of libCrystax
-* Pressing a button now roughly equals taking away a wood piece of a unstable Jenga tower
-* Options:
-:* Use libc++
-::* Currently a problem with includes
-:* avoid destructing any streams
-::* This is not a good idea
-:* Go back to Crystax toolchain
-::* Uhh… no!
