Some modes (like makefile) require to enter result executable file name, dont forget to do that.After doing that all use compile and run buttons to build and run your app as regular.How to use graphics libraries in single-file mode?Just install SDL plugin and select G++ compiler in C4droid preferences.Note that C4droid chooses app mode using a very simple source code analysis:every graphics mode is detected with corresponding include string (e.g. SDL is detected with #include "SDL.h", check bundled examples for more info). Commenting out these lines will not have any effect.If you are compiling a single-file Qt app, you should also add #include "yoursourcefilenamewithcpp.moc" to the end of source code file also.How to install C++ support manually?C4droid will ask you to install C++ support at first startup and will configure itself in semi-automatic mode.If you want to do that manually, you need:0) Enough (100MB+) internal memory1) Install GCC plugin2) Select G++ compiler in C4droid preferencesNote that if you want to use C4droid as a C compiler, it is better to select GCC, not G++.How to build and install libraries?Almost the same way as regular Makefile building except for that most probably some patching may be required.Currently tested libraries are gmp, mpfr, mpc, libxml2, neon, sqlite, SDL_gfx (--disable-mmx required).Which gestures/keyboard shortcuts does C4droid support?Long-click gestures:New button: delete current file.Save button: save as.Open button: recent files.Run button: run with arguments.Compile button: configure current directory.Tab: close tab.Keyboard shortcuts:Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X for Copy, Paste and CutCtrl-S, Ctrl-O for Save/OpenCtrl-Z, Ctrl-Y for Undo/Redo.Ctrl-L for "go to Line"Ctrl-F for FindCtrl-A for select AllCtrl-B for Build/compileCtrl-R for RunCtrl-Space/Ctrl-D for autocompletion (Ctrl-Space may be reserved by Android)Report bugs at [email protected] stands for "c for android" (or "c++ for android").C4droid is not an online compiler, so it uses real binaries.Some binaries in APK are licensed under (L)GPL, email me for the source code (Tiny C compiler, GCC, BusyBox, etc.)Android is a trademark of Google Inc.Qt is a registered trademark of Digia.Fixed a lot of bugs.Updated GCC to 10.2.Qt doesnt require any 3rd-party apps anymore.Terminal can now be closed with Ctrl+X.SDL2 now supports immersive mode.
