Compiling
local.properties:
To compile ConnectBot using Ant, you must specify where your Android SDK is via the local.properties file. Insert a line similar to the following with the full path to your SDK:
sdk.dir=/usr/local/android
Also indicate the key store and key (by alias) with a full path, signing apk is essentially mandatory for the emulator and actual phones. Example:
key.store=/home/someuser/.android/mykeystore.keystore key.alias=mykeys
If your environment runs on a pre-release OpenJDK, also set these parameters, otherwise the ant javac task as defined in the Android SDK (target="1.5") and/or the Proguard target will fail: ant.build.javac.source=1.5 ant.build.javac.target=1.5
ProGuard Support
Download the ProGuard distribution from its website at http://proguard.sourceforge.net/ and place the proguard.jar into the "tools" subdirectory in the ConnectBot root directory.
When running ant to build ConnectBot and engage ProGuard, use:
ant proguard release
