Clone this as a submodule of: https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com/#/admin/projects/ring-project to obtain the required Ring daemon source.
You can also manually clone the daemon and override the DAEMON_DIR during compilation
Make sure you have the android-ndk and android-sdk, and you'll want something like this in your .bashrc (or equivalent):
export ANDROID_NDK=$HOME/src/android-ndk
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_NDK
export ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/src/android-sdk-linux
export ANDROID_HOME=$ANDROID_SDK
export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools:${PATH}
install swig-2.0.6 or later and python-2.7 or later on your system
Supported archs are: armeabi-v7a and x86
Example:
ANDROID_ABI="armeabi-v7a x86"
Then:
./compile.sh
If you cloned the daemon in a custom directory (other than ../daemon), you can specify it using an absolute path:
DAEMON_DIR=custom_path ./compile.sh
When all else fails:
git clean -dfx
cd ../daemon (or custom_path)
git clean -dfx
And start again.
Update translations using the Transifex client (tx) :
./update-translations.sh
Retrieve client log from device (client must be running before executing this)
