## building it yourself
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-09-22 17:03:34 +00:00
|
|
|
git-annex can be built from source for Android.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Run `standalone/android/buildchroot` as root (requires debootstrap).
|
2014-05-26 21:56:41 +00:00
|
|
|
This builds a chroot with an `builder` user.
|
2013-09-22 17:03:34 +00:00
|
|
|
The rest of the build will run in this chroot as that user.
|
2014-05-26 21:56:41 +00:00
|
|
|
2. In the chroot, run `standalone/android/install-haskell-packages`
|
2013-09-22 17:03:34 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that this will break from time to time as new versions of packages
|
|
|
|
|
are released, and the patches it applies have to be updated when
|
|
|
|
|
this happens.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Finally, once the chroot is set up, you can build an Android binary
|
|
|
|
|
with `make android`, and `make androidapp` will build the complete APK.
