Build documentation?

[slashedCodes]

Ask the question here.

Where is the build documentation? If (for example) I wanted to work on the project how would i build it? (Side-thought maybe its just as simple as opening it in XCode and hitting build, but even if that is the case you should add that to the docs OR inform me about that and I'll make a pull request)

Update: I opened it in XCode and it's looking for /opt/homebrew/bin/gmake???

We don’t have Xcode project at the moment as I spend most of the time compiling on my jailbroken phone. Another reason is we have to include a piece of Java code in the build process, which Xcode doesn’t support. We also don’t use Swift(UI) at the moment, but this will hopefully change later. Please refer to the workflow file for the complete build process. TL;DR: all you need to do is run:

gmake -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) dsym package

Hi @khanhduytran0! I followed the workflow file successfully until it actually came to building PojavLauncher, when it told me i need to install JDK 8. No problem, so I went on oracle's website, and downloaded the macos X version from the jdk 8 archives. Problem is, it still can't locate JDK 8 since it really wants it to be in: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/bin

What JDK should i install?? I have no idea

You could set BOOTJDK to point to your desired location. Also, if you’re building on arm64 Mac, you need to use Azul build.

Thank you! That got me a bit farther but I'm still getting some errors; mainly from the C compiler:

@khanhduytran0 What should I do?

[khanhduytran0]

It looks like you haven't cloned subprojects yet. Run

git submodule update --init --recursive
