I am using AIDE to code an Android game and I want to use Andengine to code my game. I heard that it is recommended to clone the git repository since the maker doesn't compile Java Archive(JAR) files anymore. However, when I clone the git repo and try to compile a simple Andengine project I get errors saying that there is a "compilation error in x86".
This means that my only option is to use the older, outdated JAR files. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Copied shamelessly from my question here!
I managed to get the cloned repo from GitHub to work with AIDE. I have an ARM Android device, and not a x86 one (I'm not entirely sure many people have a x86 Android, do they?). This might help others having this problem:
To fix the compilation errors I went into the android.mk script that initializes the building of the machine code for Andengine. I commented out the x86 and ran my app with a basic Andengine project and it worked. Apparently it was trying to build x86 machine code for my ARM device.
I now have access to the full power of Andengine and can finally trash that crappy, outdated .JAR I had been using until now. This opens up many tutorials for me to use.
