Compiling Mame (for Android), Tiny build?, Arcade build?, Full build?.

[Trick]

Hi, I've nearly always rolled my own build of Mame, so I know what I need to compile the Windows build of Mame. I am interested in the Android build of Mame & have attempted to build it in msys64. Is it possible to build say the arcade or full build of the Android version of Mame currently?, as I have seen a fairly old guide for compiling the Android build of Mame & it would appear that back then you could only do the Tiny build of it?, has that progressed since then?. Is there a simple way to add say just the arcade games to the Tiny build?, if not could someone please show how to add a game, say, Heavy Unit or something to the Tiny build of Mame, preferably step by step, as I couldn't find a guide on how to do that at all. When I say try to do the command "make -j9 android-arm SUBTARGET=arcade" I get this fatal error while compiling:

Is there something I need to put into Environment Variables to get further?, presumably pointing at the Value D:\msys64\vendor\android-ndk/sources/android/support/include\ under System Variables as the stdio.h file is present in that folder?, what would I title the Variable for it to find the stdio.h file?.

Sounds messy cross-compiling mame for android from windows. Also you´ve got an eight core computer ? (-j9 ?)

I think in your make command you are missing some important variables like: "CROSS_BUILD=1" "REGENIE=1" or like in this case where you are getting errors i recommend the use of "VERBOSE=1"

In the Makefile i only see support for win32, unix and macosx as TARGET, so i think you are on your own in this presumable painful adventure.

Sorry to say that this looks complicated without some hacking in the source.

Thanks for your reply, Klez, it's a bit messy, but it is apparently possible with the tiny build, you just need the tools, pacman -S mame-essentials android-ndk android-sdk java. Yep, I've got an i7. I tried those variables, but same result.
