In an effort to become more compatible with Android running on x86 hardware, we'd like to create build-only automation. This would NOT unclude tests. To start, we'd only like to get builds. We can add tests later, as we become more active on Android x86 hardware.

Mark, breakpad doesn't work on Android/x86 (it is build error). Should we disable it into configure.in until supporting it?

And, we need NSPR 4.9.1 for x86 build. Current m-c is 4.9.

From channel meeting discussions yesterday this is much lower priority than other work on our plate right now - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2012-05-08#RelEng
Priority: -- → P4

There are still a few kinks to be worked on here anyway: bug 723713
Depends on: 723713

I have done a rough patch that could work off the bat. If one of you could land the mozconfig changes for this build I could give it a shot on staging whenever I have a change. For reference, Android uses this: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/default/mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android/nightly
Comment 6•12 years ago

bug 757909 is adding mozconfigs, but there are other issues that make these builds not work yet, so we'll have to fix those first.

Log: http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=MozillaTest/1338399488.1338402019.29030.gz&fulltext=1 Build: http://people.mozilla.com/~armenzg/android/x86/fennec-15.0a1.en-US.android-arm.apk Can you please let me that this worked? We probably have to figure out filename and upload directory. http://dev-stage01.srv.releng.scl3.mozilla.com/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-central-android/1338399500/fennec-15.0a1.en-US.android-arm.apk

This appears to not have used the right mozconfig: retry: Calling <function run_with_timeout at 0xb7d450d4> with args: (['bash', '-c', 'if [ -f "mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android/nightly" ]; then echo Using in-tree mozconfig; cp mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android/nightly .mozconfig; else echo Downloading mozconfig; wget -O .mozconfig http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/raw-file/production/mozilla2/android/mozilla-central/nightly/mozconfig; fi'], 1260, None, None, False, True), kwargs: {}, attempt #1 In any event, these builds won't work on tinderbox until we fix the bugs blocking this one.

I tried again and it failed on compilation: http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=MozillaTest/1338566356.1338567051.24230.gz

Ok, that makes more sense. You're hitting bug 756816 there.

For now I will assign myself until we're closer for me to test it.

Comment 12•12 years ago

per meeting w/blassey yesterday: 1) We agree this remains much lower priority then armv6 (on apc.io) or android4.0 (on pandas). 2) This bug (and dep bugs) are on hold until the higher priority projects are completed. Blassey + I will revisit this in late Oct... or sooner if all goes well.

Motorola now sells the x86 "Razr i" in Europe, which has a lot of fans for small size, good performance and reasonable price. Firefox is one of only 3 apps frequently missed (Flash/AIR, Shazam the others).
Comment 14•12 years ago

It looks like an unlocked one can be ordered here if needed in the US. http://www.expansys-usa.com/motorola-razr-i-intel-atom-android-smartphone-unlocked-237359/ There is also the Orange San Diego in Europe that has Intel in it that has a much more resonable price than the Razr i. http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934783 There's the Xolo in India. http://xolo.in/ There's one available from a russian carrier as well. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6179/intels-medfield-reference-design-picked-up-by-russias-megafon
Comment 15•12 years ago
|

Now that the ARMv6 support is done, is it possible to start working on x86? Indeed, Motorola Razr i will be under many European Christmas trees.
Comment 16•12 years ago
|
||
We were blocked on bug 756816, which may have been fixed by the switch to our new build slaves using mock, but that change made the newer version of the NDK (required to build for x86) unavailable without further changes, so we haven't been able to test. This is very low on RelEng's list of priorities so nobody has looked at it.
Comment 17•12 years ago
|
||
I know that mobile still wants this and have loaned a mock slave to see what is needed to get this going.

I'll land the changes for this in bug 820592 + reconfig on Monday. Today was busy deploying new pandas for Android.

I just installed Nightly: fennec-20.0a1.multi.android-i386.apk 19-Dec-2012 13:45 23M, and it's working well. I consider this bug solved. Next step: Firefox on Play Store.

(In reply to Aissen from comment #20) > I just installed Nightly: fennec-20.0a1.multi.android-i386.apk 19-Dec-2012 > 13:45 23M, and it's working well. > I consider this bug solved. Next step: Firefox on Play Store. While I appreciate the enthusiasm, this is marked as a tracking bug for a reason. There are many other steps required before we're ready for the Play Store.

Can this bug be closed? We can open a new tracking bug with the changes required to put Android x86 tests into production once the infrastructure is ready.
Comment 23•11 years ago

Per comment 0 this was only about builds, so this could have been marked FIXED a while ago.
