1kati 2==== 3 4[](http://travis-ci.org/google/kati) 5 6kati is an experimental GNU make clone. 7The main goal of this tool is to speed-up incremental build of Android. 8 9Currently, kati does not offer a faster build by itself. It instead converts 10your Makefile to a ninja file. 11 12How to use for Android 13---------------------- 14 15For Android-N+, ckati and ninja is used automatically. There is a prebuilt 16checked in under prebuilts/build-tools that is used. 17 18All Android's build commands (m, mmm, mmma, etc.) should just work. 19 20How to use for Android (deprecated -- only for Android M or earlier) 21---------------------- 22 23Set up kati: 24 25 % cd ~/src 26 % git clone https://github.com/google/kati 27 % cd kati 28 % make 29 30Build Android: 31 32 % cd <android-directory> 33 % source build/envsetup.sh 34 % lunch <your-choice> 35 % ~/src/kati/m2n --kati_stats 36 % ./ninja.sh 37 38You need ninja in your $PATH. 39 40More usage examples (deprecated way) 41------------------- 42 43### "make clean" 44 45 % ./ninja.sh -t clean 46 47Note ./ninja.sh passes all parameters to ninja. 48 49### Build a specific target 50 51For example, the following is equivalent to "make cts": 52 53 % ./ninja.sh cts 54 55Or, if you know the path you want, you can do: 56 57 % ./ninja.sh out/host/linux-x86/bin/adb 58
