Building

Prerequisites

  • Android SDK You can skip this if you are using Android Studio.
  • Android NDK r16b $ANDROID_NDK_HOME environment variable should point at the root directory of your NDK. If the variable is not set, build-syncthing.py will automatically try to download and setup the NDK.
  • Go 1.9.7 Make sure, Go is installed and available on the PATH environment variable. If Go is not found on the PATH environment variable, build-syncthing.py will automatically try to download and setup GO on the PATH.
  • Python 2.7 Make sure, Python is installed and available on the PATH environment variable.

Build instructions

Make sure you clone the project with git clone https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android.git --recursive. Alternatively, run git submodule init && git submodule update in the project folder.

A Linux VM, for example running Debian, is recommended to build this.

Build Syncthing and the Syncthing-Android wrapper using the following commands: ./gradlew buildNative ./gradlew lint assembleDebug

You can also use Android Studio to build the apk after you manually ran the ./gradlew buildNative command in the repository root.

To clean up all files generated during build, use the following commands: ./gradlew cleanNative ./gradlew clean
