# Building DroidFish
# Links
## Introduction
This page explains how to build DroidFish using eclipse in linux and windows.
## Preparations
To build DroidFish, you need a working eclipse installation with git support. To make eclipse correctly handle UTF-8 encoded source files, go to Window > Preferences > General > Workspace and change "Text file encoding" to UTF-8.
## Building DroidFish
1. 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. SDK and NDK installation
instructions can be found elsewhere.
2. Disable "Build automatically" from the "Project" menu.
3. Checkout the eclipse projects:
1. In eclipse, select File -> Import -> Git -> Projects from Git.
2. Select "Clone URI", click next.
3. In the URI field, enter https://github.com/peterosterlund2/droidfish.git, click next.
4. Click next and finish to import all projects.
4. If java is installed in a non-standard location on your computer or you are using
windows, change the BinBook_builder eclipse builder:
1. Right click on CuckooChessEngine in the package explorer, select Properties.
2. Click Builders -> BinBook_builder -> Edit.
3. Change "Location" to point to your java executable. In windows, this is likely
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe.
5. Define the NDK environment variable to point to your NDK installation directory, or
modify the DroidFish Native_Builder (DroidFish -> Properties -> Builders ->
Native_builder -> Edit -> Location) to point to the ndk-build script in the NDK
installation directory. If you are using windows, point to the ndk-build.cmd script in
the NDK installation directory.
6. Enable "Build automatically" from the "Project" menu.
