1 kati 2 ==== 3 4 [](http://travis-ci.org/google/kati) 5 6 kati is an experimental GNU make clone. 7 The main goal of this tool is to speed-up incremental build of Android. 8 9 Currently, kati does not offer a faster build by itself. It instead converts 10 your Makefile to a ninja file. 11 12 How to use for Android 13 ---------------------- 14 15 Now AOSP has kati and ninja, so all you have to do is 16 17 % export USE_NINJA=true 18 19 All Android's build commands (m, mmm, mmma, etc.) should just work. 20 21 How to use for Android (deprecated way) 22 ---------------------- 23 24 Set up kati: 25 26 % cd ~/src 27 % git clone https://github.com/google/kati 28 % cd kati 29 % make 30 31 Build Android: 32 33 % cd <android-directory> 34 % source build/envsetup.sh 35 % lunch <your-choice> 36 % ~/src/kati/m2n --kati_stats # Use --goma if you are a Googler. 37 % ./ninja.sh 38 39 You need ninja in your $PATH. 40 41 More usage examples (deprecated way) 42 ------------------- 43 44 ### "make clean" 45 46 % ./ninja.sh -t clean 47 48 Note ./ninja.sh passes all parameters to ninja. 49 50 ### Build a specific target 51 52 For example, the following is equivalent to "make cts": 53 54 % ./ninja.sh cts 55 56 Or, if you know the path you want, you can do: 57 58 % ./ninja.sh out/host/linux-x86/bin/adb 59
