That's a wiki page.
There are installation instructions for sdl2 on android.. But.. I see some codes like "svn" ecc or "Path.." And so i wanna ask you only what they mean! Thanks

I answered here, but I'll repeat anyway:

Another small question.. i see sometimes in the wiki or other, that there are some codes like "svn link" something like or"hg clone .." relative to installing a library or other... Something like.
What are these codes?? What's the utility? And where using them?

SVN and Mercurial (i.e. "hg") are tools to manage development changes (i.e. "versions"). It is a bit complicated so you may need to read this Wikipedia article about Subversion (SVN).

The idea is to use SVN or hg to get the latest version of the library or application.

Sorry but i don't mean that.. I see like he use a command line where he writes these names with somenlinks and.. I don't know. I only want to know how to port my sdl2 game to android apk and i saw that wiki link🔝

Then I misunderstood, pardon.

Actually I don't know what do you mean.  I don't see that "links".  Are they in the sources?

No problem.. I don't speak english very well.
Then go checking out this website
https://wiki.libsdl.org/Android
There are some "codes".. I don't understand what to do with them

You have Linux? Because these codes are for Linux.

"Install minimal Java environment. For instance, in Debian/Ubuntu"

Ooh.. now i got it.. i was thinking about installing Linux but a my friend told me that windows is better than linux and linux sucks.. i saw linux is more used for programmers so i will may download it

Nothing prevents you to use Linux, I recommend you to use Ubuntu.

But I must say other thing, that tutorial is for C developers. And practically *never* will apply for Pascal developers (until someone with the knowledge does it). So think it first.

"cd /usr/src/SDL2/build-scripts/
 ./androidbuild.sh org.libsdl.testgles ../test/testgles.c"

Yes but i already know c++ a bit.. for examples loops and conditions.. declaring variables ecc.
I should have a look to ubuntu . Thanks again

It's ok I said that because this is a pascal forum, only for that. You can know every language you need, in fact I started using SDL with C++ because the tutorials was written in that language-

Good luck!

Edit: If you need an free IDE Code::Blocks is a good one, and also Dev C++.

By the way please take into consideration the comment of Ñuño_Martínez. You need to learn what is SVN and Mercurial for running these codes. Running a script and don't knowing what it does is a bad idea, because you can have error messages and if you don't know what it will do, if error appears, don't know how to fix that.
