Re: [dev-servo] Standalone NDK concerns?

[Nathan Froyd]

FWIW, the Android team is planning on making standalone toolchains
obsolete in the relatively near future (the roadmap says later this
year):

[dev-servo] build-time bindgen support for Stylo has landed on mozilla-inbound

[Nathan Froyd]

Bug 1302028, build-time bindgen support for Stylo, has landed.
Bindgen support is automatically enabled for --enable-stylo builds
(including stylo-incubator integration builds); use
--disable-stylo-build-bindgen if you need to disable it for any
reason.

The bindgen support assumes that you have a clang 3.9 installation and
looks for the `llvm-config` program on your PATH to confirm that
assumption.  If `llvm-config` is not on your PATH, you can export its
location in your mozconfig.

Since mozilla-{inbound,central} do not have a servo/ import yet, we
landed a dummy geckoservo crate to satisfy Cargo and to enable us to
get all the Cargo features in the correct place.  There will need to
be some manual fixup/overriding of our dummy geckoservo crate when
mozilla-central containing bug 1302028 merges to stylo-incubator.

Please ping me on IRC or bugzilla if there are any questions.

Happy hacking,
-Nathan

At least for the compiler side of the MSVC build, you can use clang-cl
instead; I don't know whether you can do code-signing, generating
installers, etc. etc. with free software.
