adb-standalone-build

This project aims to build a standalone adb binary on Linux from downloaded sources (more trustable than source code copy-pasta and better maintainability).

The initial goal was to build the binary for the Raspberry Pi 4b (aarch64 processor), but it should be architecture-independent since it builds everything from sources (developed on my x86-64 laptop and then built without any issue on the RPi4b).

Dependencies

• cmake (>= 3.10)
• clang
• libstdc++-11-dev
• libgcc-11-dev
• libudev-dev
• libc6-dev
• golang-go (to build BoringSSL)
• pkg-config (optional, improves BoringSSL build tests)
• libunwind-dev (optional, improves BoringSSL build tests)
• autoconf (to build libusb)
• libtool (to build libusb)

For Debian / Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install cmake clang libstdc++-11-dev libgcc-11-dev libudev1 libudev-dev golang-go pkg-config libunwind-dev autoconf libtool

Usage

Clone the repositories and install dependencies, then just:

cd adb-standalone-build/
make
make test

By default, messages are logged by each target (e.g. Downloading adb source ..., Building boringssl ..., etc...) and the commands' output is muted to follow the build more easily, but you can tail -f error.log to watch if anything goes wrong, or just comment the SUPPRESS_OUTPUT line in the root Makefile to get full commands output.

Tested on

• x86_64 Ubuntu 22.04 5.15.0-60-generic / clang 14 / libstdc++-dev 11.3 / libgcc-dev 11.3 / cmake 3.22 / go 1.18 / autoconf 2.71 / libtool 2.4
