A lot of people read this document template. Please keep it clean:
|
|
|
|
- keep the document xhtml-compliant, as many people use validating editors
|
|
- check your edits for typos, spelling errors, and questionable grammar
|
|
- prefer css styles to formatting tags like <font>, <tt>, etc.
|
|
- keep it human-readable and human-editable in a plain text editor:
|
|
- strive to keep lines wrapped at 80 columns, unless a link prevents it
|
|
- use plenty of whitespace
|
|
- try to pretty-format (wrt nesting and indenting) any hairy html
|
|
- check your inline javascript for errors using the javascript console
|

<h2>Objective</h2>
|
|
<p>The primary goals of reworking the build system are (1) to make dependencies
|
|
work more reliably, so that when files need to rebuilt, they are, and (2) to
|
|
improve performance of the build system so that unnecessary modules are not
|
|
rebuilt, and so doing a top-level build when little or nothing needs to be done
|
|
for a build takes as little time as possible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Principles and Use Cases and Policy</h2>
|
|
<p>Given the above objective, these are the overall principles and use cases
|
|
that we will support. This is not an exhaustive list.</p>
|
|
<h3>Multiple Targets</h3>
|
|
<p>It needs to be possible to build the Android platform for multiple targets.
|
|
This means:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The build system will support building tools for the host platform,
|
|
both ones that are used in the build process itself, and developer tools
|
|
like the simulator.</li>
|
|
<li>The build system will need to be able to build tools on Linux
|
|
(definitely Goobuntu and maybe Grhat), MacOS, and to some degree on
|
|
Windows.</li>
|
|
<li>The build system will need to be able to build the OS on Linux, and in
|
|
the short-term, MacOS. Note that this is a conscious decision to stop
|
|
building the OS on Windows. We are going to rely on the emulator there
|
|
and not attempt to use the simulator. This is a requirement change now
|
|
that the emulator story is looking brighter.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>Non-Recursive Make</h3>
|
|
<p>To achieve the objectives, the build system will be rewritten to use make
|
|
non-recursively. For more background on this, read <a href="http://aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf">Recursive Make Considered Harmful</a>. For those that don't
|
|
want PDF, here is the
|
|
<a href="http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:HwuX7YF2uBIJ:aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2&client=firefox">Google translated version</a>.
|
|
<h3>Rapid Compile-Test Cycles</h3>
|
|
<p>When developing a component, for example a C++ shared library, it must be
|
|
possible to easily rebuild just that component, and not have to wait more than a
|
|
couple seconds for dependency checks, and not have to wait for unneeded
|
|
components to be built.</p>
|
|
<h3>Both Environment and Config File Based Settings</h3>
|
|
<p>To set the target, and other options, some people on the team like to have a
|
|
configuration file in a directory so they do not have an environment setup
|
|
script to run, and others want an environment setup script to run so they can
|
|
run builds in different terminals on the same tree, or switch back and forth
|
|
in one terminal. We will support both.</p>
|
|
<h3>Object File Directory / make clean</h3>
|
|
<p>Object files and other intermediate files will be generated into a directory
|
|
that is separate from the source tree. The goal is to have make clean be
|
|
"rm -rf <obj>" in the tree root directory. The primary goals of
|
|
this are to simplify searching the source tree, and to make "make clean" more
|
|
reliable.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>SDK</h3>
|
|
<p>The SDK will be a tarball that will allow non-OS-developers to write apps.
|
|
The apps will actually be built by first building the SDK, and then building
|
|
the apps against that SDK. This will hopefully (1) make writing apps easier
|
|
for us, because we won't have to rebuild the OS as much, and we can use the
|
|
standard java-app development tools, and (2) allow us to dog-food the SDK, to
|
|
help ensure its quality. Cedric has suggested (and I agree) that apps built
|
|
from the SDK should be built with ant. Stay tuned for more details as we
|
|
figure out exactly how this will work.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Dependecies</h3>
|
|
<p>Dependencies should all be automatic. Unless there is a custom tool involved
|
|
(e.g. the webkit has several), the dependencies for shared and static libraries,
|
|
.c, .cpp, .h, .java, java libraries, etc., should all work without intervention
|
|
in the Android.mk file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Hiding command lines</h3>
|
|
<p>The default of the build system will be to hide the command lines being
|
|
executed for make steps. It will be possible to override this by specifying
|
|
the showcommands pseudo-target, and possibly by setting an environment
|
|
variable.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Wildcard source files</h3>
|
|
<p>Wildcarding source file will be discouraged. It may be useful in some
|
|
scenarios. The default <code>$(wildcard *)</code> will not work due to the
|
|
current directory being set to the root of the build tree.<p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Multiple targets in one directory</h3>
|
|
<p>It will be possible to generate more than one target from a given
|
|
subdirectory. For example, libutils generates a shared library for the target
|
|
and a static library for the host.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Makefile fragments for modules</h3>
|
|
<p><b>Android.mk</b> is the standard name for the makefile fragments that
|
|
control the building of a given module. Only the top directory should
|
|
have a file named "Makefile".</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Use shared libraries</h3>
|
|
<p>Currently, the simulator is not built to use shared libraries. This should
|
|
be fixed, and now is a good time to do it. This implies getting shared
|
|
libraries to work on Mac OS.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Nice to Have</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>These things would be nice to have, and this is a good place to record them,
|
|
however these are not promises.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Simultaneous Builds</h3>
|
|
<p>The hope is to be able to do two builds for different combos in the same
|
|
tree at the same time, but this is a stretch goal, not a requirement.
|
|
Doing two builds in the same tree, not at the same time must work. (update:
|
|
it's looking like we'll get the two builds at the same time working)</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Deleting headers (or other dependecies)</h3>
|
|
<p>Problems can arise if you delete a header file that is referenced in
|
|
".d" files. The easy way to deal with this is "make clean". There
|
|
should be a better way to handle it. (from fadden)</p>
|
|
<p>One way of solving this is introducing a dependency on the directory. The
|
|
problem is that this can create extra dependecies and slow down the build.
|
|
It's a tradeoff.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Multiple builds</h3>
|
|
<p>General way to perform builds across the set of known platforms. This
|
|
would make it easy to perform multiple platform builds when testing a
|
|
change, and allow a wide-scale "make clean". Right now the buildspec.mk
|
|
or environment variables need to be updated before each build. (from fadden)</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Aftermarket Locales and Carrier</h3>
|
|
<p>We will eventually need to add support for creating locales and carrier
|
|
customizations to the SDK, but that will not be addressed right now.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2><a id="usage"/>Usage</h2>
|
|
<p>You've read (or scrolled past) all of the motivations for this build system,
|
|
and you want to know how to use it. This is the place.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Your first build</h3>
|
|
<p>The <a href="../building.html">Building</a> document describes how do do
|
|
builds.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>build/envsetup.sh functions</h3>
|
|
If you source the file build/envsetup.sh into your bash environment,
|
|
<code>. build/envsetup.sh</code>you'll get a few helpful shell functions:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>printconfig</b> - Prints the current configuration as set by the
|
|
lunch and choosecombo commands.</li>
|
|
<li><b>m</b> - Runs <code>make</code> from the top of the tree. This is
|
|
useful because you can run make from within subdirectories. If you have the
|
|
<code>TOP</code> environment variable set, it uses that. If you don't, it looks
|
|
up the tree from the current directory, trying to find the top of the tree.</li>
|
|
<li><b>croot</b> - <code>cd</code> to the top of the tree.</li>
|
|
<li><b>sgrep</b> - grep for the regex you provide in all .c, .cpp, .h, .java,
|
|
and .xml files below the current directory.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Build flavors/types</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When building for a particular product, it's often useful to have minor
|
|
variations on what is ultimately the final release build. These are the
|
|
currently-defined "flavors" or "types" (we need to settle on a real name
|
|
for these).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border=1>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<code>eng<code>
|
|
</td>
|
|
<td>
|
|
This is the default flavor. A plain "<code>make</code>" is the
|
|
same as "<code>make eng</code>". <code>droid</code> is an alias
|
|
for <code>eng</code>.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Installs modules tagged with: <code>eng</code>, <code>debug</code>,
|
|
<code>user</code>, and/or <code>development</code>.
|
|
<li>Installs non-APK modules that have no tags specified.
|
|
<li>Installs APKs according to the product definition files, in
|
|
addition to tagged APKs.
|
|
<li><code>ro.secure=0</code>
|
|
<li><code>ro.debuggable=1</code>
|
|
<li><code>ro.kernel.android.checkjni=1</code>
|
|
<li><code>adb</code> is enabled by default.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<code>user<code>
|
|
</td>
|
|
<td>
|
|
"<code>make user</code>"
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the flavor intended to be the final release bits.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Installs modules tagged with <code>user</code>.
|
|
<li>Installs non-APK modules that have no tags specified.
|
|
<li>Installs APKs according to the product definition files; tags
|
|
are ignored for APK modules.
|
|
<li><code>ro.adb.secure=1</code>
|
|
<li><code>ro.secure=1</code>
|
|
<li><code>ro.debuggable=0</code>
|
|
<li><code>adb</code> is disabled by default.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<code>userdebug<code>
|
|
</td>
|
|
<td>
|
|
"<code>make userdebug</code>"
|
|
<p>
|
|
The same as <code>user</code>, except:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Also installs modules tagged with <code>debug</code>.
|
|
<li><code>ro.debuggable=1</code>
|
|
<li><code>adb</code> is enabled by default.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you build one flavor and then want to build another, you should run
|
|
"<code>make installclean</code>" between the two makes to guarantee that
|
|
you don't pick up files installed by the previous flavor. "<code>make
|
|
clean</code>" will also suffice, but it takes a lot longer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>More pseudotargets</h3>
|
|
<p>Sometimes you want to just build one thing. The following pseudotargets are
|
|
there for your convenience:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>droid</b> - <code>make droid</code> is the normal build. This target
|
|
is here because the default target has to have a name.</li>
|
|
<li><b>all</b> - <code>make all</code> builds everything <code>make
|
|
droid</code> does, plus everything whose <code>LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS</code> do not
|
|
include the "droid" tag. The build server runs this to make sure
|
|
that everything that is in the tree and has an Android.mk builds.</li>
|
|
<li><b>clean-$(LOCAL_MODULE)</b> and <b>clean-$(LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME)</b> -
|
|
Let you selectively clean one target. For example, you can type
|
|
<code>make clean-libutils</code> and it will delete libutils.so and all of the
|
|
intermediate files, or you can type <code>make clean-Home</code> and it will
|
|
clean just the Home app.</li>
|
|
<li><b>clean</b> - <code>make clean</code> deletes all of the output and
|
|
intermediate files for this configuration. This is the same as <code>rm -rf
|
|
out/<configuration>/</code></li>
|
|
<li><b>clobber</b> - <code>make clobber</code> deletes all of the output
|
|
and intermediate files for all configurations. This is the same as
|
|
<code>rm -rf out/</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><b>dataclean</b> - <code>make dataclean</code> deletes contents of the data
|
|
directory inside the current combo directory. This is especially useful on the
|
|
simulator and emulator, where the persistent data remains present between
|
|
builds.</li>
|
|
<li><b>showcommands</b> - <code>showcommands</code> is a modifier target
|
|
which causes the build system to show the actual command lines for the build
|
|
steps, instead of the brief descriptions. Most people don't like seeing the
|
|
actual commands, because they're quite long and hard to read, but if you need
|
|
to for debugging purposes, you can add <code>showcommands</code> to the list
|
|
of targets you build. For example <code>make showcommands</code> will build
|
|
the default android configuration, and <code>make runtime showcommands</code>
|
|
will build just the runtime, and targets that it depends on, while displaying
|
|
the full command lines. Please note that there are a couple places where the
|
|
commands aren't shown here. These are considered bugs, and should be fixed,
|
|
but they're often hard to track down. Please let
|
|
<a href="mailto:android-build-team">android-build-team</a> know if you find
|
|
any.</li>
|
|
<li><b>LOCAL_MODULE</b> - Anything you specify as a <code>LOCAL_MODULE</code>
|
|
in an Android.mk is made into a pseudotarget. For example, <code>make
|
|
runtime</code> might be shorthand for <code>make
|
|
out/linux-x86-debug/system/bin/runtime</code> (which would work), and
|
|
<code>make libkjs</code> might be shorthand for <code>make
|
|
out/linux-x86-debug/system/lib/libkjs.so</code> (which would also work).</li>
|
|
<li><b>targets</b> - <code>make targets</code> will print a list of all of
|
|
the LOCAL_MODULE names you can make.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="templates"/>How to add another component to the build - Android.mk templates</h3>
|
|
<p>You have a new library, a new app, or a new executable. For each of the
|
|
common types of modules, there is a corresponding file in the templates
|
|
directory. It will usually be enough to copy one of these, and fill in your
|
|
own values. Some of the more esoteric values are not included in the
|
|
templates, but are instead just documented here, as is the documentation
|
|
on using custom tools to generate files.</p>
|
|
<p>Mostly, you can just look for the TODO comments in the templates and do
|
|
what it says. Please remember to delete the TODO comments when you're done
|
|
to keep the files clean. The templates have minimal documentation in them,
|
|
because they're going to be copied, and when that gets stale, the copies just
|
|
won't get updated. So read on...</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Apps</h4>
|
|
<p>Use the <code>templates/apps</code> file.</p>
|
|
<p>This template is pretty self-explanitory. See the variables below for more
|
|
details.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Java Libraries</h4>
|
|
<p>Use the <code>templates/java_library</code> file.</p>
|
|
<p>The interesting thing here is the value of LOCAL_MODULE, which becomes
|
|
the name of the jar file. (Actually right now, we're not making jar files yet,
|
|
just directories of .class files, but the directory is named according to
|
|
what you put in LOCAL_MODULE). This name will be what goes in the
|
|
LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES variable in modules that depend on your java library.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>C/C++ Executables</h4>
|
|
<p>Use the <code>templates/executable</code> file, or the
|
|
<code>templates/executable_host</code> file.</p>
|
|
<p>This template has a couple extra options that you usually don't need.
|
|
Please delete the ones you don't need, and remove the TODO comments. It makes
|
|
the rest of them easier to read, and you can always refer back to the templates
|
|
if you need them again later.</p>
|
|
<p>By default, on the target these are built into /system/bin, and on the
|
|
host, they're built into <combo>/host/bin. These can be overridden by setting
|
|
<code>LOCAL_MODULE_PATH</code> or <code>LOCAL_MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH</code>. See
|
|
<a href="#moving-targets">Putting targets elsewhere</a>
|
|
for more.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Shared Libraries</h4>
|
|
<p>Use the <code>templates/shared_library</code> file, or the
|
|
<code>templates/shared_library_host</code> file.</p>
|
|
<p>Remember that on the target, we use shared libraries, and on the host,
|
|
we use static libraries, since executable size isn't as big an issue, and it
|
|
simplifies distribution in the SDK.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Static Libraries</h4>
|
|
<p>Use the <code>templates/static_library</code> file, or the
|
|
<code>templates/static_library_host</code> file.</p>
|
|
<p>Remember that on the target, we use shared libraries, and on the host,
|
|
we use static libraries, since executable size isn't as big an issue, and it
|
|
simplifies distribution in the SDK.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="custom-tools"/>Using Custom Tools</h4>
|
|
<p>If you have a tool that generates source files for you, it's possible
|
|
to have the build system get the dependencies correct for it. Here are
|
|
a couple of examples. <code>$@</code> is the make built-in variable for
|
|
"the current target." The <font color=red>red</font> parts are the parts you'll
|
|
need to change.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You need to put this after you have declared <code>LOCAL_PATH</code> and
|
|
<code>LOCAL_MODULE</code>, because the <code>$(local-generated-sources-dir)</code>
|
|
and <code>$(local-host-generated-sources-dir)</code> macros use these variables
|
|
to determine where to put the files.
|
|
|
|
<h5>Example 1</h5>
|
|
<p>Here, there is one generated file, called
|
|
chartables.c, which doesn't depend on anything. And is built by the tool
|
|
built to $(HOST_OUT_EXECUTABLES)/dftables. Note on the second to last line
|
|
that a dependency is created on the tool.</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
intermediates:= $(local-generated-sources-dir)
|
|
GEN := $(intermediates)/<font color=red>chartables.c</font>
|
|
$(GEN): PRIVATE_CUSTOM_TOOL = <font color=red>$(HOST_OUT_EXECUTABLES)/dftables $@</font>
|
|
$(GEN): <font color=red>$(HOST_OUT_EXECUTABLES)/dftables</font>
|
|
$(transform-generated-source)
|
|
LOCAL_GENERATED_SOURCES += $(GEN)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h5>Example 2</h5>
|
|
<p>Here as a hypothetical example, we use use cat as if it were to transform
|
|
a file. Pretend that it does something useful. Note how we use a
|
|
target-specific variable called PRIVATE_INPUT_FILE to store the name of the
|
|
input file.</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
intermediates:= $(local-generated-sources-dir)
|
|
GEN := $(intermediates)/<font color=red>file.c</font>
|
|
$(GEN): PRIVATE_INPUT_FILE := $(LOCAL_PATH)/<font color=red>input.file</font>
|
|

<h3><a name="platform-specific"/>Platform specific conditionals</h3>
|
|
<p>Sometimes you need to set flags specifically for different platforms. Here
|
|
is a list of which values the different build-system defined variables will be
|
|
set to and some examples.</p>

<p>There are also special variables to use instead of conditionals. Many of the

normal variables (LOCAL_SRC_FILES, LOCAL_CFLAGS, etc) can be conditionally added

to with _{arch} _{32|64}, and for the host, _{os}.</p>

<h3><a name="moving-modules"/>Putting modules elsewhere</h3>
|
|
<p>If you have modules that normally go somewhere, and you need to have them
|
|
build somewhere else, read this.</p>
|
|
<p>If you have modules that need to go in a subdirectory of their normal
|
|
location, for example HAL modules that need to go in /system/lib/hw or
|
|
/vendor/lib/hw, set LOCAL_MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH in your Android.mk, for
|
|
example:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
LOCAL_MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH := hw
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>If you have modules that need to go in an entirely different location, for
|
|
example the root filesystem instead of in /system, add these lines to your
|
|
Android.mk:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_ROOT_OUT_SBIN)
|
|
LOCAL_UNSTRIPPED_PATH := $(TARGET_ROOT_OUT_SBIN_UNSTRIPPED)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>For executables and libraries, you need to specify a
|
|
<code>LOCAL_UNSTRIPPED_PATH</code> location if you specified a
|
|
<code>LOCAL_MODULE_PATH</code>, because on target builds, we keep
|
|
the unstripped executables so GDB can find the symbols.
|
|
<code>LOCAL_UNSTRIPPED_PATH</code> is not necessary if you only specified
|
|
<code>LOCAL_MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Look in <code>core/envsetup.mk</code> for all of the variables defining
|
|
places to build things.</p>
|
|
<p>FYI: If you're installing an executable to /sbin, you probably also want to
|
|
set <code>LOCAL_FORCE_STATIC_EXCUTABLE := true</code> in your Android.mk, which
|
|
will force the linker to only accept static libraries.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Android.mk variables</h3>
|
|
<p>These are the variables that you'll commonly see in Android.mk files, listed
|
|
alphabetically.</p>
|
|
<p>But first, a note on variable naming:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>LOCAL_</b> - These variables are set per-module. They are cleared
|
|
by the <code>include $(CLEAR_VARS)</code> line, so you can rely on them
|
|
being empty after including that file. Most of the variables you'll use
|
|
in most modules are LOCAL_ variables.</li>
|
|
<li><b>PRIVATE_</b> - These variables are make-target-specific variables. That
|
|
means they're only usable within the commands for that module. It also
|
|
means that they're unlikely to change behind your back from modules that
|
|
are included after yours. This
|
|
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Target_002dspecific">link to the make documentation</a>
|
|
describes more about target-specific variables. Please note that there
|
|
are a couple of these laying around the tree that aren't prefixed with
|
|
PRIVATE_. It is safe, and they will be fixed as they are discovered.
|
|
Sorry for the confusion.</li>
|
|
<li><b>INTERNAL_</b> - These variables are critical to functioning of
|
|
the build system, so you shouldn't create variables named like this, and
|
|
you probably shouldn't be messing with these variables in your makefiles.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>HOST_</b> and <b>TARGET_</b> - These contain the directories
|
|
and definitions that are specific to either the host or the target builds.
|
|
Do not set variables that start with HOST_ or TARGET_ in your makefiles.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>HOST_CROSS_</b> - These contain the directories and definitions that
|
|
are specific to cross-building host binaries. The common case is building
|
|
windows host tools on linux. Do not set variables that start with
|
|
HOST_CROSS_ in your makefiles.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>BUILD_</b> and <b>CLEAR_VARS</b> - These contain the names of
|
|
well-defined template makefiles to include. Some examples are CLEAR_VARS
|
|
and BUILD_HOST_PACKAGE.</li>
|
|
<li>Any other name is fair-game for you to use in your Android.mk. However,
|
|
remember that this is a non-recursive build system, so it is possible that
|
|
your variable will be changed by another Android.mk included later, and be
|
|
different when the commands for your rule / module are executed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_ANNOTATION_PROCESSORS</h4>
|
|
<p>Set this to a list of modules built with <code>BUILD_HOST_JAVA_LIBRARY</code>
|
|
to have their jars passed to javac with -processorpath for use as annotation
|
|
processors.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_ANNOTATION_PROCESSOR_CLASSES</h4>
|
|
<p>Set this to a list of classes to be passed to javac as -processor arguments.
|
|
This list is would be unnecessary, as javac will autodetect annotation processor
|
|
classes, except that the Grok tool that is used on the Android source code
|
|
does not autodetect them and requires listing them manually.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_ASSET_FILES</h4>
|
|
<p>In Android.mk files that <code>include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)</code> set this
|
|
to the set of files you want built into your app. Usually:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_ASSET_FILES += $(call find-subdir-assets)</code></p>
|
|
<p>This will probably change when we switch to ant for the apps' build
|
|
system.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_CC</h4>
|
|
<p>If you want to use a different C compiler for this module, set LOCAL_CC
|
|
to the path to the compiler. If LOCAL_CC is blank, the appropriate default
|
|
compiler is used.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_CXX</h4>
|
|
<p>If you want to use a different C++ compiler for this module, set LOCAL_CXX
|
|
to the path to the compiler. If LOCAL_CXX is blank, the appropriate default
|
|
compiler is used.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_CFLAGS</h4>
|
|
<p>If you have additional flags to pass into the C or C++ compiler, add
|
|
them here. For example:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DLIBUTILS_NATIVE=1</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_CPPFLAGS</h4>
|
|
<p>If you have additional flags to pass into <i>only</i> the C++ compiler, add
|
|
them here. For example:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_CPPFLAGS += -ffriend-injection</code></p>
|
|
<code>LOCAL_CPPFLAGS</code> is guaranteed to be after <code>LOCAL_CFLAGS</code>
|
|
on the compile line, so you can use it to override flags listed in
|
|
<code>LOCAL_CFLAGS</code>.
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_CPP_EXTENSION</h4>
|
|
<p>If your C++ files end in something other than "<code>.cpp</code>",
|
|
you can specify the custom extension here. For example:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_CPP_EXTENSION := .cc</code></p>
|
|
Note that all C++ files for a given module must have the same
|
|
extension; it is not currently possible to mix different extensions.
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_NO_DEFAULT_COMPILER_FLAGS</h4>
|
|
<p>Normally, the compile line for C and C++ files includes global include
|
|
paths and global cflags. If <code>LOCAL_NO_DEFAULT_COMPILER_FLAGS</code>
|
|
is non-empty, none of the default includes or flags will be used when compiling
|
|
C and C++ files in this module.
|
|
<code>LOCAL_C_INCLUDES</code>, <code>LOCAL_CFLAGS</code>, and
|
|
<code>LOCAL_CPPFLAGS</code> will still be used in this case, as will
|
|
any <code>DEBUG_CFLAGS</code> that are defined for the module.
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_COPY_HEADERS</h4>
|
|
<p class=warning>This will be going away.</p>
|
|
<p>The set of files to copy to the install include tree. You must also
|
|
supply <code>LOCAL_COPY_HEADERS_TO</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>This is going away because copying headers messes up the error messages, and
|
|
may lead to people editing those headers instead of the correct ones. It also
|
|
makes it easier to do bad layering in the system, which we want to avoid. We
|
|
also aren't doing a C/C++ SDK, so there is no ultimate requirement to copy any
|
|
headers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_COPY_HEADERS_TO</h4>
|
|
<p class=warning>This will be going away.</p>
|
|
<p>The directory within "include" to copy the headers listed in
|
|
<code>LOCAL_COPY_HEADERS</code> to.</p>
|
|
<p>This is going away because copying headers messes up the error messages, and
|
|
may lead to people editing those headers instead of the correct ones. It also
|
|
makes it easier to do bad layering in the system, which we want to avoid. We
|
|
also aren't doing a C/C++ SDK, so there is no ultimate requirement to copy any
|
|
headers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_C_INCLUDES</h4>
|
|
<p>Additional directories to instruct the C/C++ compilers to look for header
|
|
files in. These paths are rooted at the top of the tree. Use
|
|
<code>LOCAL_PATH</code> if you have subdirectories of your own that you
|
|
want in the include paths. For example:</p>
|
|
<p><code>
|
|
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += extlibs/zlib-1.2.3<br/>
|
|
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += $(LOCAL_PATH)/src
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
<p>You should not add subdirectories of include to
|
|
<code>LOCAL_C_INCLUDES</code>, instead you should reference those files
|
|
in the <code>#include</code> statement with their subdirectories. For
|
|
example:</p>
|
|
<p><code>#include <utils/KeyedVector.h></code><br/>
|
|
not <code><s>#include <KeyedVector.h></s></code></p>
|
|
<p>There are some components that are doing this wrong, and should be cleaned
|
|
up.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS</h4>
|
|
<p>Set <code>LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS</code> to any number of whitespace-separated
|
|
tags. If the tag list is empty or contains <code>droid</code>, the module
|
|
will get installed as part of a <code>make droid</code>. Otherwise, it will
|
|
only get installed by running <code>make <your-module></code>
|
|
or with the <code>make all</code> pseudotarget.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_REQUIRED_MODULES</h4>
|
|
<p>Set <code>LOCAL_REQUIRED_MODULES</code> to any number of whitespace-separated
|
|
module names, like "libblah" or "Email". If this module is installed, all
|
|
of the modules that it requires will be installed as well. This can be
|
|
used to, e.g., ensure that necessary shared libraries or providers are
|
|
installed when a given app is installed.
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_FORCE_STATIC_EXECUTABLE</h4>
|
|
<p>If your executable should be linked statically, set
|
|
<code>LOCAL_FORCE_STATIC_EXECUTABLE:=true</code>. There is a very short
|
|
list of libraries that we have in static form (currently only libc). This is
|
|
really only used for executables in /sbin on the root filesystem.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_GENERATED_SOURCES</h4>
|
|
<p>Files that you add to <code>LOCAL_GENERATED_SOURCES</code> will be
|
|
automatically generated and then linked in when your module is built.
|
|
See the <a href="#custom-tools">Custom Tools</a> template makefile for an
|
|
example.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_JAVACFLAGS</h4>
|
|
<p>If you have additional flags to pass into the javac compiler, add
|
|
them here. For example:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_JAVACFLAGS += -Xlint:deprecation</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_ERROR_PRONE_FLAGS</h4>
|
|
<p>If you have additional flags to pass into the error prone compiler, add
|
|
them here. For example:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_ERROR_PRONE_FLAGS += -Xep:ClassCanBeStatic:ERROR</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES</h4>
|
|
<p>When linking Java apps and libraries, <code>LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES</code>
|
|
specifies which sets of java classes to include. Currently there are
|
|
two of these: <code>core</code> and <code>framework</code>.
|
|
In most cases, it will look like this:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES := core framework</code></p>
|
|
<p>Note that setting <code>LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES</code> is not necessary
|
|
(and is not allowed) when building an APK with
|
|
"<code>include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)</code>". The appropriate libraries
|
|
will be included automatically.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_LDFLAGS</h4>
|
|
<p>You can pass additional flags to the linker by setting
|
|
<code>LOCAL_LDFLAGS</code>. Keep in mind that the order of parameters is
|
|
very important to ld, so test whatever you do on all platforms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_LDLIBS</h4>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_LDLIBS</code> allows you to specify additional libraries
|
|
that are not part of the build for your executable or library. Specify
|
|
the libraries you want in -lxxx format; they're passed directly to the
|
|
link line. However, keep in mind that there will be no dependency generated
|
|
for these libraries. It's most useful in simulator builds where you want
|
|
to use a library preinstalled on the host. The linker (ld) is a particularly
|
|
fussy beast, so it's sometimes necessary to pass other flags here if you're
|
|
doing something sneaky. Some examples:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_LDLIBS += -lcurses -lpthread<br/>
|
|
LOCAL_LDLIBS += -Wl,-z,origin
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_NO_MANIFEST</h4>
|
|
<p>If your package doesn't have a manifest (AndroidManifest.xml), then
|
|
set <code>LOCAL_NO_MANIFEST:=true</code>. The common resources package
|
|
does this.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME</h4>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME</code> is the name of an app. For example,
|
|
Dialer, Contacts, etc. This will probably change or go away when we switch
|
|
to an ant-based build system for the apps.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_PATCH_MODULE (experimental option)</h4>
|
|
<p>As of January 2018, you almost certainly don't need this option, so please
|
|
ask and only use it if you understand what you're doing. This feature is
|
|
experimental and may go away in future.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When compiling language level 9+ .java code in packages that are part of a
|
|
a system module, <code>LOCAL_PATCH_MODULE</code> names the module that your
|
|
sources and dependencies should be patched into. The Android runtime currently
|
|
(Jan 2018) doesn't implement the JEP 261 module system so this option is only
|
|
supported at compile time. It should only be needed to compile tests in packages
|
|
that exist in libcore and which are inconvenient to move elsewhere.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_PATH</h4>
|
|
<p>The directory your Android.mk file is in. You can set it by putting the
|
|
following as the first line in your Android.mk:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_PATH := $(my-dir)</code></p>
|
|
<p>The <code>my-dir</code> macro uses the
|
|
<code><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#MAKEFILE_005fLIST-Variable">MAKEFILE_LIST</a></code>
|
|
variable, so you must call it before you include any other makefiles. Also,
|
|
consider that any subdirectories you inlcude might reset LOCAL_PATH, so do your
|
|
own stuff before you include them. This also means that if you try to write
|
|
several <code>include</code> lines that reference <code>LOCAL_PATH</code>,
|
|
it won't work, because those included makefiles might reset LOCAL_PATH.
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_POST_PROCESS_COMMAND</h4>
|
|
<p>For host executables, you can specify a command to run on the module
|
|
after it's been linked. You might have to go through some contortions
|
|
to get variables right because of early or late variable evaluation:</p>
|
|
<p><code>module := $(HOST_OUT_EXECUTABLES)/$(LOCAL_MODULE)<br/>
|
|
LOCAL_POST_PROCESS_COMMAND := /Developer/Tools/Rez -d __DARWIN__ -t APPL\<br/>
|
|
-d __WXMAC__ -o $(module) Carbon.r
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_PREBUILT_EXECUTABLES</h4>
|
|
<p>When including $(BUILD_MULTI_PREBUILT) or $(BUILD_HOST_PREBUILT), set these
|
|
to executables that you want copied. They're located automatically into the
|
|
right bin directory.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_PREBUILT_LIBS</h4>
|
|
<p>When including $(BUILD_MULTI_PREBUILT) or $(BUILD_HOST_PREBUILT), set these
|
|
to libraries that you want copied. They're located automatically into the
|
|
right lib directory.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES</h4>
|
|
<p>These are the libraries you directly link against. You don't need to
|
|
pass transitively included libraries. Specify the name without the suffix:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := \<br/>
|
|
libutils \<br/>
|
|
libui \<br/>
|
|
libaudio \<br/>
|
|
libexpat \<br/>
|
|
libsgl
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_SRC_FILES</h4>
|
|
<p>The build system looks at <code>LOCAL_SRC_FILES</code> to know what source
|
|
files to compile -- .cpp .c .y .l .java. For lex and yacc files, it knows
|
|
how to correctly do the intermediate .h and .c/.cpp files automatically. If
|
|
the files are in a subdirectory of the one containing the Android.mk, prefix
|
|
them with the directory name:</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_SRC_FILES := \<br/>
|
|
file1.cpp \<br/>
|
|
dir/file2.cpp
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES</h4>
|
|
<p>These are the static libraries that you want to include in your module.
|
|
Mostly, we use shared libraries, but there are a couple of places, like
|
|
executables in sbin and host executables where we use static libraries instead.
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := \<br/>
|
|
libutils \<br/>
|
|
libtinyxml
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_MODULE</h4>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_MODULE</code> is the name of what's supposed to be generated
|
|
from your Android.mk. For exmample, for libkjs, the <code>LOCAL_MODULE</code>
|
|
is "libkjs" (the build system adds the appropriate suffix -- .so .dylib .dll).
|
|
For app modules, use <code>LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME</code> instead of
|
|
<code>LOCAL_MODULE</code>. We're planning on switching to ant for the apps,
|
|
so this might become moot.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_MODULE_PATH</h4>
|
|
<p>Instructs the build system to put the module somewhere other than what's
|
|
normal for its type. If you override this, make sure you also set
|
|
<code>LOCAL_UNSTRIPPED_PATH</code> if it's an executable or a shared library
|
|
so the unstripped binary has somewhere to go. An error will occur if you forget
|
|
to.</p>
|
|
<p>See <a href="#moving-modules">Putting modules elsewhere</a> for more.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH</h4>
|
|
<p>Instructs the build system to put the module in a subdirectory under the
|
|
directory that is normal for its type. If you set this you do not need to
|
|
set <code>LOCAL_UNSTRIPPED_PATH</code>, the unstripped binaries will also use
|
|
the relative path.</p>
|
|
<p>See <a href="#moving-modules">Putting modules elsewhere</a> for more.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_MODULE_HOST_OS</h4>
|
|
<p>This specifies which OSes are supported by this host module. It is not used
|
|
for target builds. The accepted values here are combinations of
|
|
<code>linux</code>, <code>darwin</code>, and <code>windows</code>. By default,
|
|
linux and darwin(MacOS) are considered to be supported. If a module should
|
|
build under windows, you must specify windows, and any others to be supported.
|
|
Some examples:</p>

|
<h4>LOCAL_UNSTRIPPED_PATH</h4>
|
|
<p>Instructs the build system to put the unstripped version of the module
|
|
somewhere other than what's normal for its type. Usually, you override this
|
|
because you overrode <code>LOCAL_MODULE_PATH</code> for an executable or a
|
|
shared library. If you overrode <code>LOCAL_MODULE_PATH</code>, but not
|
|
<code>LOCAL_UNSTRIPPED_PATH</code>, an error will occur.</p>
|
|
<p>See <a href="#moving-modules">Putting modules elsewhere</a> for more.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES</h4>
|
|
<p>These are the static libraries that you want to include in your module without allowing
|
|
the linker to remove dead code from them. This is mostly useful if you want to add a static library
|
|
to a shared library and have the static library's content exposed from the shared library.
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES := \<br/>
|
|
libsqlite3_android<br/>
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_YACCFLAGS</h4>
|
|
<p>Any flags to pass to invocations of yacc for your module. A known limitation
|
|
here is that the flags will be the same for all invocations of YACC for your
|
|
module. This can be fixed. If you ever need it to be, just ask.</p>
|
|
<p><code>LOCAL_YACCFLAGS := -p kjsyy</code></p>

<h2>Implementation Details</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You should never have to touch anything in the config directory unless
|
|
you're adding a new platform, new tools, or adding new features to the
|
|
build system. In general, please consult with the build system owner(s)
|
|
(<a href="mailto:android-build-team">android-build-team</a>) before you go
|
|
mucking around in here. That said, here are some notes on what's going on
|
|
under the hood.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Environment Setup / buildspec.mk Versioning</h3>
|
|
<p>In order to make easier for people when the build system changes, when
|
|
it is necessary to make changes to buildspec.mk or to rerun the environment
|
|
setup scripts, they contain a version number in the variable
|
|
BUILD_ENV_SEQUENCE_NUMBER. If this variable does not match what the build
|
|
system expects, it fails printing an error message explaining what happened.
|
|
If you make a change that requires an update, you need to update two places
|
|
so this message will be printed.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>In core/envsetup.mk, increment the
|
|
CORRECT_BUILD_ENV_SEQUENCE_NUMBER definition.</li>
|
|
<li>In buildspec.mk.default, update the BUILD_ENV_SEQUENCE_DUMBER
|
|
definition to match the one in core/envsetup.mk</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The scripts automatically get the value from the build system, so they will
|
|
trigger the warning as well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Additional makefile variables</h3>
|
|
<p>You probably shouldn't use these variables. Please consult
|
|
<a href="mailto:android-build-team">android-build-team</a> before using them.
|
|
These are mostly there for workarounds for other issues, or things that aren't
|
|
completely done right.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_ADDITIONAL_DEPENDENCIES</h4>
|
|
<p>If your module needs to depend on anything else that
|
|
isn't actually built in to it, you can add those make targets to
|
|
<code>LOCAL_ADDITIONAL_DEPENDENCIES</code>. Usually this is a workaround
|
|
for some other dependency that isn't created automatically.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_BUILT_MODULE</h4>
|
|
<p class=warning>This should not be used, since multiple binaries are now
|
|
created from a single module defintiion.</p>
|
|
<p>When a module is built, the module is created in an intermediate
|
|
directory then copied to its final location. LOCAL_BUILT_MODULE is
|
|
the full path to the intermediate file. See LOCAL_INSTALLED_MODULE
|
|
for the path to the final installed location of the module.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_IS_HOST_MODULE</h4>
|
|
<p>Set by the host_xxx.mk includes to tell base_rules.mk and the other
|
|
includes that we're building for the host.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_INSTALLED_MODULE</h4>
|
|
<p class=warning>This should not be used, since multiple binaries are now
|
|
created from a single module defintiion.</p>
|
|
<p>The fully qualified path name of the final location of the module.
|
|
See LOCAL_BUILT_MODULE for the location of the intermediate file that
|
|
the make rules should actually be constructing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS</h4>
|
|
<p>Which kind of module this is. This variable is used to construct other
|
|
variable names used to locate the modules. See base_rules.mk and
|
|
envsetup.mk.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_MODULE_SUFFIX</h4>
|
|
<p>The suffix that will be appended to <code>LOCAL_MODULE</code> to form
|
|
<code>LOCAL_MODULE_NAME</code>. For example, .so, .a, .dylib.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_STRIP_MODULE</h4>
|
|
<p>If set to true (the default), the binary will be stripped and a debug
|
|
link will be set up so that GDB will still work. If set to no_debuglink,
|
|
the binary will be stripped, but no debug link will be added. If set to
|
|
keep_symbols, it will strip the debug information, but keep the symbol table.
|
|
Any other value will prevent stripping.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>LOCAL_SYSTEM_SHARED_LIBRARIES</h4>
|
|
<p>Used while building the base libraries: libc, libm, libdl. Usually
|
|
it should be set to "none," as it is in $(CLEAR_VARS). When building
|
|
these libraries, it's set to the ones they link against. For example,
|
|
libc, libstdc++ and libdl don't link against anything, and libm links against
|
|
libc. Normally, when the value is none, these libraries are automatically
|
|
linked in to executables and libraries, so you don't need to specify them
|
|
manually.</p>
