Build

cargo build

Cross-compiling

Arm64 Linux

Download the linux toolchain from Arm GNU Toolchain Downloads.

Set the env variable ARM64_TOOLCHAIN to the path of the toolchain directory.

Create a toolchain synbolic link using the following command in Unix:

ln -s $ARM64_TOOLCHAIN aarch64-linux-gnu

... and the following command in Windows (cmd vs powershell):

mklink /D aarch64-linux-gnu %ARM64_TOOLCHAIN%
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path aarch64-linux-gnu -Target $env:ARM64_TOOLCHAIN

To install the Rust targets for Arm64 Linux using rustup run:

rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

Then you're ready to build Boytacean's libretro core:

cargo build --target=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --release

Android

Configure NDK_HOME environment variable to point to your Android NDK directory and then create local toolchain replicas in the root project directory using:

mkdir -p ndk
${NDK_HOME}/build/tools/make_standalone_toolchain.py --api 26 --arch arm64 --install-dir ndk/arm64
${NDK_HOME}/build/tools/make_standalone_toolchain.py --api 26 --arch arm --install-dir ndk/arm
${NDK_HOME}/build/tools/make_standalone_toolchain.py --api 26 --arch x86 --install-dir ndk/x86

To install the Rust targets for Android using rustup run:

rustup target add aarch64-linux-android
rustup target add armv7-linux-androideabi
rustup target add i686-linux-android

Then you're ready to build Boytacean's libretro core using the following commands (for release builds):

cargo build --target=aarch64-linux-android --release
cargo build --target=armv7-linux-androideabi --release
cargo build --target=i686-linux-android --release
