[Question]: Is it possible to build the game using Termux?

[Vulcalien]

I remember trying without success.

It should be possible, given that the arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler is installed. I think the best option is to download the compiler's binary executables from ARM's website, if they are available.

It might also be necessary to change the compiler name in Makefile.

The Device Architecture I use is Armeabi-v7a, so I don't know if it's possible to build the game.

[ErickN13]

But in which lines of the Makefile can I change the Compiler, and which ones are Compatible?

[ErickN13]

I use GNU Make and Clang. I typed these commands in the Terminal to see the Compiler version ~ $ gcc -v clang version 15.0.7 Target: armv7a-unknown-linux-android24 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /data/data/com.alif.ide.python/files/alif/bin ~ $ make -v GNU Make 4.4.1 Built for arm-unknown-linux-androideabi Copyright (C) 1988-2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The lines in Makefile that might have to be changed are these:

ifeq ($(CURRENT_OS),UNIX)
    CC      := arm-none-eabi-gcc
    AS      := arm-none-eabi-as
    OBJCOPY := arm-none-eabi-objcopy

    EMULATOR := mgba-qt
else ifeq ($(CURRENT_OS),WINDOWS)
    ...

changing CC, AS and OBJCOPY to the installed compiler and tools.

There could be a fair amount of tinkering to get the game to compile on that platform, including potentially missing libraries (newlib??) and tools.

What I would try, since I'm not sure clang can compile the game considering I'm using GCC extensions and linker script, is downloading arm-none-eabi-gcc directly from ARM's website. Pretty sure this is the correct download page: https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads

[ErickN13]

What are AS and OBJCOPY? and what do they do? (Just a question)

[Vulcalien]

AS is the assembler, needed for a few assembly files required in the code. OBJCOPY is the tool I use to convert ELF files into raw (GBA) files.

Basically the game gets first compiled into ELF, then converted into GBA cartridge format.

the only problem is that I only use Android, and the arm-none-eabi-gcc objcopy and as, is not possible to install on Android (as far as I know)
