Run on desktop platform

Starting from version 1.1.0, DexKit supports running on desktop platforms without the need for packaging as an APK for testing on Android.

Install environment

The basic runtime environment requires gcc/clang, cmake, and ninja/make.

Windows

Windows users can use MSYS2 to set up the runtime environment. Since all Windows systems are currently 64-bit, we use mingw64.exe for dependency installation:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja

After installation, we need to add the mingw64/bin directory to the environment variables for future use.

warning

DexKit will use ninja as the default build system by default. If you need to use make in mingw for building, you need to execute pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make, after installation, you need to rename msys64\mingw64\bin\mingw32-make.exe to make.exe or add it as a shortcut, otherwise the build will fail due to gradle-cmake-plugin not finding the make command. Additionally, delete generator.set(generators.ninja) in :dexkit/build.gradle, or modify it to generator.set(generators.unixMakefiles).

Linux

On Linux, you normally only need to install ninja to use it.

MacOS

It's recommended to use HomeBrew for dependency management.

brew install cmake ninja
