It is not simply possible to compile C-evo for Android but it is possible to run the game with Windows emulators on Android. One such emulator is Winlator.

How to run the game:

  • Install Winlator app on your Android smartphone from https://github.com/brunodev85/winlator/releases
  • Start Winlator and let it do its initialization
  • Tap on + button to create a new Container
  • Default container parameters are mostly ok. You can adjust them as needed.
  • Run newly created container
  • In Android download the latest C-evo release from https://svn.zdechov.net/c-evo/bin/win/ and save it to your Downloads directory
  • Inside container open drive D: which should point to your Downloads
  • Run Install-C-evo-nh-version.exe and install the game
  • Run the game from C-evo icon on the desktop or from Programs submenu in Start menu

Notes:

  • Right mouse click is done with two fingers tap.
  • You can adjust DPI in game Settings dialog to higher values like 150%.
  • On screen keyboard can be shown from Winlator menu which can be made visible with Android back button.
  • Winlator support custom on screen touch controls configurable from "Input Controls" dialog. Useful keys like num pad keys for unit movement or functional keys can be put on the screen.
  • Original C-evo 1.2.0 works as well but it's size doesn't cover entire screen and it doesn't support High DPI which is handy for smartphones with high pixel resolution
  • Extra C-evo 32-bit AIs are not multi-platform but thanks to Windows emulation they can run on Android. In this way they can run also on Linux with Wine emulation.
