Because is boring to download manually each repository for test the example application of AndEngine you can use the manifest file in this repository with repo following the commands below $ mkdir AndEngineRepo $ cd AndEngineRepo $ repo init -u https://github.com/gipi/AndEngine-repo.git $ repo sync $ for i in $(ls ); do echo \> $i;cd $i;android update project -p .;cd ..; done $ cd AndEngineExamples $ ant debug If you don't have repo installed you can download directly from Google $ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo $ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo If there are some compilation errors look for a .patch file in this repo: when possible I try to compile all and fix the possible.
