Hi,
Can someone please explain to me how can i import the ScummVM
source code to the Eclipse developer enviorment tool ???

Nobody ever did that, so you will have to start from the scratch.

But may I ask you, what's the point?

I'm looking for a developer environment that will contain a step by step debug options,
for any future change in the source code (like the AVD / ADT) plugins that existing in Eclipse,
and also a place that will show clearly syntax or compilation bugs / errors.
Recently I came across the following blog:http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/l ... index.html.
I am looking for something specific, like a step by step tutorial.

I was using EclipseCDT for ScummVM development and while the debugger is decent (it is a frontend to gdb), the compile errors are as obscure as ever. Eclipse just parses out the line numbers that have the errors and highlights them in the code.

If you are expecting the experience you get with eclipse that you get when developing java with eclipse, look elsewhere. EclipseCDT is horrible and has all the disadvantages of eclipse with none of the advantages.

OK,
so someone please will give me a mini tutorial to create a decent develop environment

What platform are you developing on?

[arieljce]

I have both OS (Win 7, Ubuntu last version).
Which one is easier to work with?
I prefer Win 7 or the easier one to work with.

P.S
if you could give me both OS tutorial it will be perfect.
thanks a lot.

Here is the generic "How to compile ScummVM"

It is kind of assumed that you're familiar with C++.

Since this is in the Android sub-forum I am not sure whether Visual Studio is really the best idea. I don't think one can easily setup Visual Studio to compile ScummVM for Android.

Can you explain to me how these development environments are relevance for develop to Android environment?
I mean (my wish is) to get the final product (ScummVM emulator as an apk file) as an android application.

What is the preferred development environment?
and how to create it?

[TomFrost]

You can do that with a terminal window and any basic text editor. Get that rolling first, then move to whatever you prefer using for development.

How about Code::Blocks?
http://www.codeblocks.org/

Our create_project tool supports the creation of Code::Blocks projects (though Code::Blocks can import MSVC projects). Try that, since it supports gcc as a compiler, it should theoretically work with Android (though I haven't tried it myself).

Dev-CPP is another option:

There is a way to integrate Java & C++ ?
like JNI (Java Native Interface) to create an apk app for Android ?

[TomFrost]

The Android SDK is Java, the NDK is C/C++. The Android app structure is modular so that you can use both in the same program. As such, there's a very (very) small part of ScummVM for Android that is Java, but the rest is the same C++ backed by the NDK.
