= Introduction =
This page explains how to build CuckooChess and DroidFish using eclipse in linux and windows.
= Preparations =
To build the CuckooChess chess engine, you need an eclipse installation with support for svn. I use "Subversive SVN Team Provider" and "SVNKit".
To build the DroidFish Android app, you first need to install the Android SDK and the Android NDK from
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
= Building CuckooChess =
# Checkout the CuckooChessEngine project:
# In eclipse, select File -> New -> Other -> Checkout Projects from SVN.
# Create a new repository location, http://cuckoochess.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/.
# Select CuckooChessEngine, click Finish.
# If java is installed in a non-standard location on your computer or you are using windows, change the BinBook_builder eclipse builder:
# Right-click on CuckooChessEngine in the package explorer, select Properties.
# Click Builder -> BinBook_builder -> Edit.
# Change Location to point to your java executable. In windows, this is likely C:\Windows\System32\java.exe.
# Checkout the CuckooChess project from http://cuckoochess.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/.
# When the CuckooChess project is built (which will happen automatically if "build automatically" is enabled) a jar file is created in workspace_path/CuckooChess/deploy/CuckooChess.jar.
= Building DroidFish =
# DroidFish depends on the CuckooChessEngine project, so checkout that project first.
# Checkout the DroidFish project from http://cuckoochess.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/.
# Define the NDK environment variable to point to your NDK installation directory, or modify the DroidFish Native_Builder to point to the ndk-build script in the NDK installation directory. In windows, point to the ndk-build.cmd script in the NDK installation directory.
If you plan to make modifications to the source code, you may also want to checkout the DroidFishTest project from http://cuckoochess.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/.
