Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5 f3b578bd53 Build TestMpegCsc on Android too, and say that it needs doing
The legacy Android build has a unit test executable of its own, so a new file in
unittest/ goes in three build files rather than the two the docs named. Missing
the Android one builds fine everywhere it is convenient to try and fails only on
Android CI, which is what happened here - so both AGENTS.md and building.md now
say three, and which one is easy to forget.

================================================================

NOTE: These are legacy instructions for building using ndk-build.

We mostly only use this on CI because it's faster than gradle.
There might also be some holdouts around still using eclipse.

================================================================

First, build the C++ static library:

> cd android
> ./ab.sh
Or
> ./ab.cmd

as appropriate.

Start Eclipse, import the android directory as an existing project
You need to also load the "native" project into your eclipse workspace
Build and run. 

If you modify the C++ code, you need to rebuild the static library, of
course. To get Eclipse to understand that you have in fact changed something
if you haven't also changed any Java code, just add a space character to 
PPSSPPActivity.java, or right click the project and choose Refresh, and then
relaunch the app on the device.

A real Android device is strongly recommended for testing. Don't trust
the emulator.
