See the Download Instructions for details.

Build with CMake

CMake is used to configure Makefiles for the build. Before building, ensure that Android and/or iOS SDKs are installed. See the Developer's Guide for more information.

Next, build and run the KiwiViewer application. Ant version 1.8 or higher is required.

$ cd Apps/Android/Kiwi
$
$ # if android, adb, ant, or cmake are not in your PATH, edit tools.sh to enter the correct paths
$
$ ./configure_cmake.sh
$ ./configure_ant.sh
$ ./compile.sh

Use adb to confirm that your device is listed:

$ adb devices

Run KiwiViewer on the device:

$ ./run.sh

iOS instructions
