The "Installing_on_Android" page has been changed by MattAdams. The comment on this change is: Updated build instructions for Android. http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Android?action=diff&rev1=21&rev2=22 -------------------------------------------------- = Installing CouchDB on Android (from source) = + == Update February 27th, 2011 == + + Below are updated instructions that produce a build that is better organized for Android, somewhat more lightweight in the final product and slightly more straightforward to understand (and with support for replications over a SSH reverse proxy!). This build requires updates to the Android installer that have not yet been pushed upstream so please don't expect this to work out-of-the-box. -- MattAdams + == Caveats == * Please note that the following instructions for Android produce a build that mostly works but is not entirely bug free. Any help tracking down and resolving problems with this procedure and the resulting build would be greatly appreciated. @@ -10, +14 @@ * As alluded to below, I was unable to get Couch to agree to link with the static Spidermonkey library. This is due to the fact that C++ support in more recent official releases of the Google SDK/NDK is lacking. It would be preferable to link statically because it would remove the need for a separate file ({{{libmozjs.so}}}) and thus one less thing to go wrong (there are several workarounds below & in related patches for the fact that we need to worry about dynamic linking with regards to the default couch query server, {{{couchjs}}}). - * Pay close attention to the instructions. You will need to replace {{{com.your.namespace}}} with something appropriate for your project through the instructions below and in the related patches.

Note that some of the test suite expects to be run from {{{:5984}}} and will fail when accessed through this configuration. To run the complete set of tests you will need to stop your local Couch instance (if any) and set the forward up on {{{:5984}}} on both ends. + * Once installed you will probably want to interact with Futon on Android from your workstation.

Note that some of the test suite expects to be run from {{{:5984}}} and will fail when accessed through this configuration (although we only noticed this when building Couch 1.0.1 -- the problem appears to have disappeared in Couch 1.0.2). To run the complete set of tests you will need to stop your local Couch instance (if any) and set the forward up on {{{:5984}}} on both ends. You will also need to stop {{{www}}} from being removed from the build (we got rid of Futon to save space -- at this point it is only useful to developers anyway). == Credits == @@ -26, +33 @@ See [[https://github.com/couchone/couch-android-launcher|couch-android-launcher]] and [[https://github.com/couchone/libcouch-android|libcouch-android]] for the end-user Android application that will use the package produced by this build. - Supporting these builds are a number of helper scripts and patches: AndroidEnv, AndroidAgcc, AndroidCouchPatch, AndroidMozillaPatch, AndroidOtpPatch, AndroidReleasePatch, AndroidSdCardPatch + Supporting these builds are a number of helper scripts and patches: AndroidEnv, AndroidAgcc, AndroidCouchPatch, AndroidMozillaPatch, AndroidOtpPatch, AndroidReleasePatch === Step 1: Build Android from Source === @@ -57, +64 @@ tar jxf curl-$VERSION.tar.bz2 cd curl-$VERSION + # See AndroidEnv in Installing_on_Android wiki topic source $HOME/software/android/scripts/env ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/software/android/sdk @@ -91, +99 @@ === Step 3: Build Mozilla NSPR & Spidermonkey === - The following instructions are based on the Fennec instructions [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android#JS.2FNSPR_only|for building JS/NSPR only]].
