COCOS2D-X

How to setup Cocos2d-X on Windows-7

1.       Download all these files and save it either C:\ or D:\ drive on your system.

a)      Download the Cocos2d-X http://www.cocos2d-x.org/filedown/cocos2d-x-3.2.zip

b)      Download the updated ADT  http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#win-bundle

c)       Download the updated NDK for 32-bit or 64-bit http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk32-r10-windows-x86.zip

d)      Download the Apache ANT  http://apache.claz.org//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.4-bin.zip

e)      Download the updated Python https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.8/python-2.7.8.msi

2.       Extract all the zip files in the same drive.

3.       Now install the “python-2.7.8.msi”

4.       Now open the command prompt and run these commands:

a)      C:\Users\d>cd C:\Developer\cocos2d-x-3.2_4

b)      C:\Developer\cocos2d-x-3.2_4\setup.py

(It create the setup for the cocos2d-x and asked to setup for the NDK_ROOT, SDK_ROOT, ANT_ROOT)

c)       C:\Developer\android-ndk-r10

d)      C:\Developer\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk

e)      C:\Developer\apache-ant-1.9.4\bin

5.       Now restart the computer or command prompt

6.       Open the command prompt and again run C:\Developer\cocos2d-x-3.2_4\setup.py to check all the Path has been set

7.       Now create the project with command

cocos.py new PROJECT_NAME –p PACKAGE_NAME –l Language (example: cocos.py new MyApp –p com.example.MyApp –l cpp)

8.       Now open the project from where is it saved (my case: it is saved in C:\Developer\cocos2d-x-3.2_4\cocos2d-x-3.2\MyApp) and drag-n-drop it to the command prompt

9.       Now open the proj.android from created project C:\Developer\cocos2d-x-3.2_4\cocos2d-x-3.2\MyApp\proj.android

10.   Now run the project with the command build_native.py

(This will compile the cocos2d-x and our project)

11.   Now open the eclipse.exe

12.   Import the project from Android Existing Projects proj.android and libcocos2dx  (my case: it is saved in C:\Developer\cocos2d-x-3.2_4\cocos2d-x-3.2\MyApp)

13.   Now RUN the project

You may get the Error:

make.exe: [obj/local/armeabi/objs-debug/cocos2dx_static/3d/CCBundleReader.o] Error 1
make.exe: Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make.exe: Leaving directory `D:/cocos2d-x-3.2/tests/cpp-tests/proj.android'
Build dynamic library for project [ D:\cocos2d-x-3.2\build..\tests/cpp-tests/proj.android ] fails!

Solution:

The cause is that it's declared as "long int" in the header and "ssize_t" in the definition. I'm sure it will be patched soon officially, but locally you can just change "ssize_t BundleReader::tell()" to "long int BundleReader::tell()" and it should compile and link fine.
