Write your own recipe
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
A recipe allows you to compile libraries / python extension for the mobile.
|
|
Most of the time, the default compilation instructions doesn't work for the
|
|
target, as ARM compiler / Android NDK introduce specifities that the library
|
|
you want doesn't handle correctly, and you'll need to patch. Also, because the
|
|
Android platform cannot load more than 64 dynamic library, we have a mechanism
|
|
to bundle all of them in one to ensure you'll not hit this limitation.
|
|
|
|
To test your own recipe via Buildozer, you need to:
|
|
|
|
#. Fork `Python for Android <http://github.com/kivy/python-for-android>`_, and
|
|
clone your own version (this will allow easy contribution later)::
|
|
|
|
git clone http://github.com/YOURNAME/python-for-android
|
|
|
|
#. Change your `buildozer.spec` to reference your version::
|
|
|
|
android.p4a_dir = /path/to/your/python-for-android
|
|
|
|
#. Copy your recipe into `python-for-android/recipes/YOURLIB/recipe.sh`
|
|
|
|
#. Rebuild.
|
|
|
|
When you correctly get the compilation and your recipe works, you can ask us to
|
|
include it in the python-for-android project, by issuing a Pull Request:
|
|
|
|
#. Create a branch::
|
|
|
|
git checkout --track -b recipe-YOURLIB origin/master
|
|
|
|
#. Add and commit::
|
|
|
|
git add python-for-android/recipes/YOURLIB/*
|
|
git commit -am 'Add support for YOURLIB`
|
|
|
|
#. Push to Github
|
|
|
|
git push origin master
|
|
|
|
#. Go to `http://github.com/YOURNAME/python-for-android`, and you should see
|
|
your new branch and a button "Pull Request" on it. Use it, write a
|
|
description about what you did, and Send!
