Installation procedure for Buildozer

[Olivier Moreau]

Hi Kivy Team,

When I discovered the Kivy platform using Pyton to develop apps for Android and IOS, I was very pleased. I tested the modified Python with the KV language and all was fine with me.

BUT

Before going further, I wanted to send my test app to my Andoid phone using the Kivy addon Buildozer. No need to get too fancy in my app before checking the entire process.

I tried to install it on Raspberry : Error, not supporting ARM!

I tried to install it on Github : Many errors, I gave up

I tried to install it on a brand new Linux computer : Still many errors.

I searched solutions in Buildozer documentation, on forums, on many sites and even with an IA. Still no luck.

SO

If by any chance someone has a complete procedure or, even better, a Docker image, please help me (and help other people in the same situation).

Please don't ask me the numerous error messages or the logs. It would be a waste of time, I better start a new installation from scratch.

I start with this :

OVHcloud instance with :

Linux version 6.14.0-34-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-017) (x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-14 (Ubuntu 14.2.0-19ubuntu2) 14.2.0,

I follow this procedure :

https://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

followed by :

https://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

Alternatively, does someone sell a proper cloud/web service to just upload main.py and form.kv and dowload the resulting apk ? 

A last word; I just cannot believe this introduction to the installation procedure :

Depending the platform you want to target, you might need more tools installed. Buildozer tries to give you hints or tries to install few things for you, but it doesn’t cover every situation.

This is clearly not a very good incitation to use this software...

Thanks in advance for your support.
