h1. Build the Android Development Tools for Eclipse (ADT) with Replicant 4.2
h2. Principle of operation
The [[ReplicantSourceCode|Android 4.2 source code]] ships a @sdk/eclipse/@ directory with ADT build scripts.
The build script will also download Eclipse 3.6.2 files as build dependencies.
Note: as of 2015-07, ADT is "deprecated":http://android-developers.blogspot.fr/2015/06/an-update-on-eclipse-android-developer.html in favor of Android Studio, based on IntelliJ.
h2. Recreate matching build environment
Replicant 4.2 is based on CyanogenMod 10.1 which is based on AOSP 4.2.2, released 2013-02.
The build environment used by NDK release managers should be Ubuntu LTS 10.04.
To recreate it easily with LXC, follow:
* [[BuildEnvironments#Trisquel-41-Taranis-based-on-Ubuntu-1004-Lucid-with-LXC|Trisquel 4.1 Taranis (based on Ubuntu 10.04) with LXC]]
* [[BuildEnvironments#Non-privileged-user-setup|Non-privileged user setup]]
h2. Build dependencies
<pre>
# Based on https://web.archive.org/web/20121201011547/http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
# git recompiled manually, mingw32 dropped
apt-get install gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc
apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
</pre>
h2. Preparing the sources
Based on [[ReplicantSourceCode]] with additional configuration.
Login as user @replicant@ and:
<pre>
mkdir ~/tools/
cd ~/tools/
wget http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo
chmod a+x repo
cd ~
cat <<EOF >> ~/.bashrc
export USE_CCACHE=1
EOF
# Avoid prompts
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global color.ui true
mkdir replicant-4.2/
cd replicant-4.2/
../tools/repo init -u git://git.replicant.us/manifest.git -b replicant-4.2
../tools/repo sync -j4
# > 1h, 27GB (inc. 17GB .repo)
</pre>
h2. Building ADT 21
<pre>
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch sdk-eng
cd sdk/eclipse/
# Complies with setup_eclipse.sh and fix download URL
sudo mkdir -p /buildbot/eclipse-android
sudo chown replicant /buildbot/eclipse-android
sed -i -e '/eclipse-rcp-helios-SR2/ s/download.eclipse.org/archive.eclipse.org/' \
scripts/setup_eclipse.sh
# Note: I tried with 'apt-get install eclipse-rcp eclipse-pde' and ECLIPSE_HOME=/usr/lib/eclipse
# but it lacks org.eclipse.wst.* plugins aka eclipse-wtp-xmltools
mkdir ~/adt/
scripts/build_server.sh ~/adt
# ~1h with 4 cores, 32GB (inc. 17GB .repo), 1GB .ccache
</pre>
The ADK release is in @~/adt/android-eclipse-v201507252158.zip@ :)
h2. Testing
See the nice Eclipse tutorial at [[SDK#Usage-guides]].
h2. TODOs
* warning on installation, maybe we can sign the package:
<pre>
Warning: You are installing software that contains unsigned content.
The authenticity or validity of this software cannot be established. Do
you want to continue with the installation?
</pre>
* Note: error in Eclipse 3.8.1 in the layout edition view. Needs testing with an older Eclipse:
<pre>
This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of ADT plug-in. Please update ADT plug-in
</pre>
* Do we rely on prebuilt/prebuilts dirs?
