ubuntu上搭建bazel编译环境，构建Android APP

背景是github上下载的工程，说明仅支持bazel编译，折腾了一天Android studio，失败。

不得不尝试单价bazel编译环境，并不复杂，过程记录如下

说明：ubuntu环境是20.04，pve虚拟机安装

1.安装jdk

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk

2.下载安装Android Studio

Google网站下载linux上的二进制包，也可以apt安装，前者定制方便些

下载地址：下载 Android Studio 和应用工具 - Android 开发者  |  Android Developers

为了方便描述，加速下载目录是用户根目录，即$HOME

cd ~
tar -xvf android-studio-*.tar.gz

运行：

cd ~/android-studio/bin
./studio.sh

随后的界面与Windows上没什么区别，我是ssh登录的，居然也可以图形交互，运行过程会下载安装android sdk，这个是最主要的，google不让单独下载android sdk了，没办法。

记录下，默认的sdk目录~/Android/Sdk/

3.编译bazel

出于某些考虑，没有安装最新版本，挑了个中间点的版本。例如4.2.2

下载地址：https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/4.2.2/bazel-4.2.2-dist.zip

解压编译：

unzip bazel-4.2.2-dist.zip
sudo ./compile.sh

编译过程出现了python报错，做个软链接解决

ERROR: /mnt/sdb/code/05_AS/src/BUILD:319:9: Executing genrule //src:embedded_tools_nojdk failed: (Exit 127): bash failed: error executing command(cd /tmp/bazel_SpFJt8tb/out/execroot/io_bazel && \exec env - \PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin \/bin/bash -c 'source external/bazel_tools/tools/genrule/genrule-setup.sh; bazel-out/host/bin/src/create_embedded_tools "bazel-out/k8-opt/bin/src/embedded_tools_nojdk.zip" bazel-out/k8-opt/bin/src/embedded_tools_nojdk.params')

INFO: Elapsed time: 398.790s, Critical Path: 53.56s

FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully

原因是/usr/bin目录下找不到python，加软连接

ln -s /usr/bin/python3.8 /usr/bin/python

编译ok后，把out目录的编译结果拷贝到/usr/bin

cp ./output/bazel /usr/bin
chmod 777 /usr/bin/bazel

4. 编译Android 工程

在下载好的Android工程下执行

bazel build testdpc

报错：

obana@pve-ubt20:/mnt/sdb/code/03_github/android-testdpc$ bazel build testdpc
Extracting Bazel installation...
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...
ERROR: While resolving toolchains for target //:testdpc: no matching toolchains found for types @bazel_tools//tools/android:sdk_toolchain_type

INFO: Elapsed time: 20.400s
INFO: 0 processes.
FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully (12 packages loaded, 19 targets configured)

原因是没有加入android sdk环境变量

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk/

后续编译方便，可以把这行加入~/.bashrc

接着下一个报错：

obana@pve-ubt20:/mnt/sdb/code/03_github/android-testdpc$ bazel build testdpc
INFO: Analyzed target //:testdpc (30 packages loaded, 1164 targets configured).

这个错误，很多同学应该熟悉，解决方案很简单，打开Android Studio，下载32版本的build tool，然后切换到32版本。

修改项目根目录下的WORKSPACE文件，

android_sdk_repository(name = "androidsdk",api_level = 34,build_tools_version = "32.0.0",
)

也有一种改法，就是仿照windows上处理。

cp ~/Android/Sdk/build-tools/34.0.0/d8 ~/Android/Sdk/build-tools/34.0.0/dx
cp ~/Android/Sdk/build-tools/34.0.0/lib/d8.jar ~/Android/Sdk/build-tools/34.0.0/lib/dx.jar

我也在stackoverflow上找到如下方法，不知道改哪，放弃；上述方法更通用些

# Enable d8 merger
build --define=android_dexmerger_tool=d8_dexmerger# Flags for the d8 dexer
build --define=android_incremental_dexing_tool=d8_dexbuilder
build --define=android_standalone_dexing_tool=d8_compat_dx
build --nouse_workers_with_dexbuilder

5.运行APP

编译成功后，可以用下命令运行APP，可以连物理机，也可以avd运行

bazel mobile-install //android:android

教程结束，enjoy！
