You also need the Android NDK in version 20+ Please ensure to download it using android studio and add the NDK to your PATH.

Even if you do not plan to upload a version yourself you need a keystore with a certificate to build. The keystore needs to be in PKCS12 format. You can create a keystore in your actual directory using the following call (replace ALIAS by your alias, it is just a name):

keytool -genkey -v -storetype PKCS12 -keystore keystore.pkcs12 -alias ALIAS -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Now edit or create the file ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and set following values (replacing PASSWD by the password you typed while creating the keystore, ALIAS as before and using the path to your keystore):

RELEASE_STORE_FILE=/PATH/TO/YOUR/keystore.pkcs12
RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD=PASSWD
RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD=PASSWD
RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=ALIAS

To build with firebase support (all version but the ones for Fdroid) you need to get an authentication file for firebase services offered by google. Therefore please follow https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup to create your own project. You need to register for the packages com.foobnix.pdf.info and com.foobnix.pdf.reader.a1. This way you will get a google-services.json file that you have to place in the app folder of the repository.

For this project only Analytics is used, so a spakling plan is all you need.

cd Builder
./link_to_mupdf_x.x.x.sh (Change the paths to mupdf and jniLibs folders)
cd ..
./gradlew assembleLibrera

If you wish to build for F-Droid (e.g. not using google services, Internet) you can run the build with

cd Builder
./link_to_mupdf_x.x.x.sh
cd ..
./gradlew assembleFdroid

F-Droid build does also not need a google-services.json
