PojavLauncher

# Building from source

  • Even though it is well-explained, building from source requires skill, internet and time.

  • You can try building on Android with Termux (opens new window), but no support will be included for it.

  • It is recommended to clone the PojavLauncher repository before starting Setting Up JRE

  • git clone https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher

# Setting up JRE

# Android

  • Clone the git repository of PojavLauncherTeam/android-openjdk-build-multiarch
git clone https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/android-openjdk-build-multiarch
  • Change the directory to the cloned repository
cd android-openjdk-build-multiarch
  • Download Android NDK r10e from here (opens new window) and place it in this directory with a file explorer. (Can't automatically download because of EULA)

WARNING

Do not attempt to build using a newer or older NDK, it will lead to compilation errors.
