Building TextSecure on Linux (no IDE)

These instructions have been tested under Linux Mint 16. YMMV on other platforms.

Download the Android SDK and run the android SDK Manager executable (path/to/android-sdk/tools/android) to install the following packages:

• Android SDK Tools
• Android SDK Platform-Tools
• Android SDK Build-tools Rev. 19
• Android 4.4.2 (API 19)
• Extras/Android Support Repository
• Extras/Android Support Library

Make sure the system can find the Android SDK

export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android-sdk/
export ANDROID_SDK=$ANDROID_HOME

If your machine is 64-bit

apt-get install ia32-libs

Install JDK and configure JAVA_HOME.

apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/

Finally

git clone [email protected]:WhisperSystems/TextSecure.git
cd TextSecure
./gradlew build
