This document explains how to properly build an Android package of Orbot from
|
|
source.
|
|
|
|
Orbot includes, in the external directory, git repo submodules of:
|
|
- Tor
|
|
- OpenSSL (statically built and patched for Android)
|
|
- LibEvent
|
|
- JTorControl: The Tor Control Library for Java
|
|
|
|
The Orbot repo also includes the Polipo source code of a recent stable release.
|
|
|
|
Please install the following prerequisites (instructions for each follows):
|
|
ant: http://ant.apache.org/
|
|
Android Native Dev Kit or NDK (for C/C++ code):
|
|
http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html
|
|
Android Software Dev Kit or SDK (for Java code):
|
|
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
|
|
AutoMake and AutoConf tool
|
|
sudo apt-get install autotools-dev
|
|
sudo apt-get install automake
|
|
sudo apt-gen install autogen autoconf libtool
|
|
|
|
You will need to run the 'android' command in the SDK to install the necessary
|
|
Android platform supports (ICS 4.x or android-15)
|
|
|
|
Be sure that you have all of the git submodules up-to-date:
|
|
|
|
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
|
|
|
To begin building, from the Orbot root directory, you first need to build all
|
|
external C/native dependencies:
|
|
|
|
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME={PATH TO YOUR NDK INSTALL}
|
|
make -C external
|
|
|
|
At this point, you'll have Tor and Polipo binaries that can be run on an
|
|
Android handset. You can verify the ARM binary was properly built using the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
file external/bin/tor external/bin/polipo
|
|
|
|
You should see something like:
|
|
external/bin/tor: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV),
|
|
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
|
|
external/bin/polipo: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV),
|
|
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
|
|
|
|
This isn't enough though and we'll now sew up the binary into a small package
|
|
that will handle basic Tor controlling features.
|
|
|
|
android update project --name Orbot --target android-15 --path .
|
|
|
|
Now build the Android app
|
|
|
|
(gradle / android studio instructions here)
|
|
|
|
This will produce an unsigned Tor package APK.
|
|
|
|
To produce a usable package, you'll need to sign the .apk. The basics on
|
|
signing can be found on the Android developer site:
