if you already have windows vulkan sdk, just need to install android studio. then refer https://github.com/gameknife/gkNextRenderer/blob/main/.github/workflows/android.yml to build it

[gameknife]

vcpkg_android.bat -> build_android.bat -> deploy_android.bat, need android studio and adb.exe in PATH

as instruction. I do these steps:

1. Install Android Studio
2. Install Java SDK
3. Start Android Studio and accept to install Android SDK
4. set environment variable JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-22\ for jdk version 22
5. set environment variable ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk where user is my default user name

and then you can build

when I call vcpkg_android.bat I have errors: Detecting compiler hash for triplet arm64-android... error: while detecting compiler information: The log file content at "C:\msys64\home\user\from-git\gkNextRenderer-my-ori-dev\build\vcpkg.android\buildtrees\detect_compiler\stdout-arm64-android.log" is: -- Configuring arm64-android CMake Error at scripts/cmake/vcpkg_execute_required_process.cmake:112 (message): Command failed: C:/msys64/home/user/from-git/gkNextRenderer-my-ori-dev/build/vcpkg.android/downloads/tools/ninja/1.10.2-windows/ninja.exe -v Working Directory: C:/msys64/home/user/from-git/gkNextRenderer-my-ori-dev/build/vcpkg.android/buildtrees/detect_compiler/arm64-android-rel/vcpkg-parallel-configure Error code: 1 See logs for more information: C:\msys64\home\user\from-git\gkNextRenderer-my-ori-dev\build\vcpkg.android\buildtrees\detect_compiler\config-arm64-android-rel-CMakeCache.txt.log C:\msys64\home\user\from-git\gkNextRenderer-my-ori-dev\build\vcpkg.android\buildtrees\detect_compiler\config-arm64-android-out.log

How to fix?

Which compiler you use on Windows? vcpkg_android.bat say me Visual Studio is not supported

https://github.com/gameknife/gkNextRenderer/blob/main/README.md add android build instruction, set ndk_path is the key step
