|
| +# Prerequisites
|
| + * a Linux/Mac workstation
|
| + * v8 r12178 (on Google Code) or later
|
| + * an Android emulator or device with matching USB cable
|
| + * make sure [building with GYP](http://code.google.com/p/v8-wiki/wiki/BuildingWithGYP) works
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +# Get the code
|
| +
|
| + * Use the instructions from https://code.google.com/p/v8-wiki/wiki/UsingGit to get the code
|
| + * Once you need to add the android dependencies:
|
| +```
|
| +v8$ echo "target_os = ['android']" >> ../.gclient && gclient sync --nohooks
|
| +```
|
| + * The sync will take a while the first time as it downloads the Android NDK to v8/third\_party
|
| + * If you want to use a different NDK, you need to set the gyp variable android\_ndk\_root
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +# Get the Android SDK
|
| + * tested version: `r15`
|
| + * download the SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
|
| + * extract it
|
| + * install the "Platform tools" using the SDK manager that you can start by running `tools/android`
|
| + * now you have a `platform_tools/adb` binary which will be used later; put it in your `PATH` or remember where it is
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +# Set up your device
|
| + * Enable USB debugging (Gingerbread: Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging; Ice Cream Sandwich: Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging)
|
| + * connect your device to your workstation
|
| + * make sure `adb devices` shows it; you may have to edit `udev` rules to give yourself proper permissions
|
| + * run `adb shell` to get an ssh-like shell on the device. In that shell, do:
|
| +```
|
| +cd /data/local/tmp
|
| +mkdir v8
|
| +cd v8
|
| +```
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +# Push stuff onto the device
|
| + * make sure your device is connected
|
| + * from your workstation's shell:
|
| +```
|
| +adb push /file/you/want/to/push /data/local/tmp/v8/
|
| +```
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +# Compile V8 for Android
|
| +Currently two architectures (`android_arm` and `android_ia32`) are supported, each in `debug` or `release` mode. The following steps work equally well for both ARM and ia32, on either the emulator or real devices.
|
| + * compile:
|
| +```
|
| +make android_arm.release -j16
|
| +```
|
| + * push the resulting binary to the device:
|
| +```
|
| +adb push out/android_arm.release/d8 /data/local/tmp/v8/d8
|
| +```
|
| + * the most comfortable way to run it is from your workstation's shell as a one-off command (rather than starting an interactive shell session on the device), that way you can use pipes or whatever to process the output as necessary:
|
| +```
|
| +adb shell /data/local/tmp/v8/d8 <parameters>
|
| +```
|
| + * warning: when you cancel such an "adb shell whatever" command using Ctrl+C, the process on the phone will sometimes keep running.
|
| + * Alternatively, use the `.check` suffix to automatically push test binaries and test cases onto the device and run them.
|
| +```
|
| +make android_arm.release.check
|
| +```
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +# Profile
|
| + * compile a binary, push it to the device, keep a copy of it on the host
|
| +```
|
| +make android_arm.release -j16
|
| +adb push out/android_arm.release/d8 /data/local/tmp/v8/d8-version.under.test
|
| +cp out/android_arm.release/d8 ./d8-version.under.test
|
| +```
|
| + * get a profiling log and copy it to the host:
|
| +```
|
| +adb shell /data/local/tmp/v8/d8-version.under.test benchmark.js --prof
|
| +adb pull /data/local/tmp/v8/v8.log ./
|
| +```
|
| + * open `v8.log` in your favorite editor and edit the first line to match the full path of the `d8-version.under.test` binary on your workstation (instead of the `/data/local/tmp/v8/` path it had on the device)
|
| + * run the tick processor with the host's `d8` and an appropriate `nm` binary:
|
| +```
|
| +cp out/ia32.release/d8 ./d8 # only required once
|
| +tools/linux-tick-processor --nm=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/toolchain/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-nm
|
| +```
|
| +
|
| +# Compile SpiderMonkey for Lollipop
|
| +```
|
| +cd firefox/js/src
|
| +autoconf2.13
|
| +./configure \
|
| + --target=arm-linux-androideabi \
|
| + --with-android-ndk=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT \
|
| + --with-android-version=21 \
|
| + --without-intl-api \
|
| + --disable-tests \
|
| + --enable-android-libstdcxx \
|
| + --enable-pie
|
| +make
|
| +adb push -p js/src/shell/js /data/local/tmp/js
|
| +```
