Building

--------

You can find the source information on building "Fennec" for Android (aka

Firefox) from source here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android#Building_Fennec

Additionally, it is easiest to build when using a specific Android SDK setup

to make sure that the version of things are correct, like the Support libs.

    cd /opt

    wget https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.3.4-linux.tgz

    tar xzf android-sdk_r24.3.4-linux.tgz

    export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-sdk-linux

    export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH"

    android update sdk --no-ui --filter tools,platform-tools,build-tools-23.0.1,android-22

    cd $ANDROID_HOME

    mkdir -p extras/android

    cd extras/android

    wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/support_r22.2.1.zip

    unzip support_r22.2.1.zip

    chmod -R a+rX $ANDROID_HOME

    find $ANDROID_HOME -executable |xargs chmod a+x
