This folder is a collection of scripts and resources to help manage this project.
You may need to grant execturion rights to some of the scripts e.g:
chmod u+x scripts/prepare_build_folders.sh && chmod u+x scripts/build.sh
To generate all the build folders that you might need, from the src directory (parent) run:
./scripts/prepare_build_folders.sh
You may need to grant execturion rights
chmod u+x scripts/prepare_build_folders.sh
You can also pass version name and version code values into this script and it will regenerate the build folders accordingly. This is particularly useful when preparing a release. e.g:
./scripts/prepare_build_folders.sh 133 100
Now to build any of those folders you can use the build helper:
./scripts/build.sh [build-type] [cpu-type]
Where build-type can be either debug or release, and cpu-type can be either arm, x86, x64. If you exclude those paramters it will build debug arm by default.
To build all release versions, run:
./scripts/build.sh all
For more info run:
./scripts/build.sh help
This script will do a series of steps to get a freshly cloned repo ready to build. It includes some setup specific for Ecosia setup and some other chromium commands.
The chromium related commands follow (more or less) the building Chromium for Android documentation.
One Ecsoia specific step is that it will copy two files (.gclient and .gclient_entries) to the parent folder of src.
These files are required by gclient tooling (particularly gclient sync command) and are usually they are generated by the gclient sync, but as we are committing the third parties, this file is also included because the file acts as a dependency lock file.
