Tested on Windows with NMake Makefiles and Visual Studio 11 targets. Tested on Linux with GNU Makefiles target, using GCC as the compiler. Tested on FreeBSD using clang as the compiler. Tested for Android on Windows with NMake Makefiles and r8c NDK. Proxy-tested by xsacha for blackberry. The android build requires that the android/android.toolchain.cmake toolchain file is used; an error will be raised if ANDROID is defined without loading the toolchain file. When targeting ANDROID, the resulting .so files will be placed in "android/libs/$ANDROID_ABI" even when building out of tree, since it's where `ant` expects to find them. Since the Core library is expected to be named 'ppsspp_jni' on ANDROID, we also put its name in a variable that is set to 'Core' unless building on ANDROID, where it is 'ppsspp_jni'.

BASIC BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
(for more detailed instructions, see http://www.ppsspp.org/development.html )
First of all, after having checked out the source, don't forget to run:
git submodule init
git submodule update
in order to get the "native" library.
Now, the actual building:
PPSSPP currently has three build systems, for building for the following platforms:
- Win32: MSVC
- Android: Android.mk + Eclipse project
- SDL (all other platforms): CMake
The ports and build files are located in the following three subdirectories:
- android/
- SDL/
- Windows/
Please see the README in the directory corresponding to the platform that you want to build for above.
Windows is separate from SDL because it has some graphical Win-only features.
Long term, the Windows port should be changed to use WX, like Dolphin. At that point, the SDL port can probably go away as WX works for all Wintel-like platforms such as MacOSX and Linux.
