Hi,I’ve having troubling building SDL 1.3 for android on OSX 10.6.4.Here’s what I did:1) Copied SDL/android-project folder to ~/Documents/myproject2) Copied SDL to ~/Documents/myproject/jni/SDL3) set environment var NDK_PROJECT_PATH to ~/Documents/myproject4) ran ndk-build 5) Got error: …/SDL/include/SDL_stdinc.h:79:20: error: iconv.h: No such file or directory6) Copied iconv.h an from libiconv-1.13.1 to ~/Documents/myproject/jni/SDL/include/iconv.h
7) ran ndk-build
8) Got error:
…/SDL/include/SDL_syswm.h:69:22: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
9) Installed X11 2.6.1
10) Copied /opt/X11/include/X11/Xlib.h to ~/Documents/myproject/jni/SDL/include/X11/Xlib.h Copied /opt/X11/include/X11/X.h to ~/Documents/myproject/jni/SDL/include/X11/X.h Copied /opt/X11/include/X11/Xfuncproto.h to ~/Documents/myproject/jni/SDL/include/X11/Xfuncproto.h Copied /opt/X11/include/X11/Xosdefs.h to ~/Documents/myproject/jni/SDL/include/X11/Xosdefs.h Copied /opt/X11/include/X11/Xatom.h to ~/Documents/myproject/jni/SDL/include/X11/Xatom.h
11) ran ndk-build
12) Got error:
SDL/src/cpuinfo/SDL_cpuinfo.c:33:24: error: sys/sysctl.h: No such file or directory
I’m not sure which sys/sysctl.h to use. Any ideas?
Am I going about this the right way? Has any succeeded in building sdl for android on osx 10.4? What steps did you follow?
Thanks!

You most probably are trying to build with a source code tree that you used for another build (at least it looks like you did a “./configure” there, right?).

Use a clean tree and that should help. Android doesn’t need X11 :slight_smile:

Yes - This was the problem. Thanks very much for your help!
