Hi folks, I just landed Bug 1477487 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1477487>, which should rehabilitate`|mach bootstrap` for Android targets on Linux and macOS hosts. I'm sorry that it has been so difficult to build Gecko for Android, but I can only address these issues "in my copious spare time".
The simplest way to get the recommended configuration is ``` ./mach bootstrap --no-interactive --application-choice mobile_android ``` The recommended configuration is: - JDK 1.8. This is a surprisingly hard requirement of the Android toolchain. (We only require the JDK for a few tools -- jarsigner! -- but otherwise we could do with a JRE alone. Soon!) - Mozilla's toolchain clang. NDK clangs seem to have many issues. - NDK r17b. This is what we're using in automation. I know nothing of other NDK versions. We no longer require any particular version of the build-tools, etc: those are fetched dynamically by Gradle at build time. (We still install them for in `mach bootstrap` for automation purposes.) I am aware of an issue with `mach bootstrap` invoking `mach configure` and immediately failing; I don't think it stops this working (after you put a mozconfig in place, as bootstrap suggests): Bug 1520920 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520920>. Please file fallout and NI me. Happy GeckoView hacking! Thanks! Nick
