How to Compile OsmAndMapCreator and tools

Compile OsmAndMapCreator​

  1. First setup the development environment.
  2. Gradle (command line):
    • Compile with command line 
    cd tools/java-tools && ../gradlew build
    • OsmAndMapCreator.zip will be produced with all scripts inside Note: android project is required to build tools (it uses OsmAnd-java project).
  3. Eclipse:
    • Preconfigure eclipse projects
    cd tools/java-tools && ../gradlew cleanEclipse eclipse
    • In Eclipse 'Import' - 'Existing projects in workspace' select folders 'OsmAnd-java', 'OsmAndMapCreatorutilities', 'OsmAndMapCreator', 'OsmAndServer', 'OsmAndServerUtilties'. Note: don't select top folder java-tools and instead select specified above projects.
  4. Android Studio / Idea Feel free to make pull request to this documentation and describe how it could be done.
  5. Main classes to execute from IDE:
    • net.osmand.MainUtilities - represents utilities.sh and leads to all possible utilties.
    • net.osmand.obf.BinaryInspector - inspector.sh utility to read OBF files and gives information about it.
    • net.osmand.obf.preparation.IndexCreator - shortcut to generate obf file.
    • net.osmand.swing.OsmExtractionUI - OsmAndMapCreator

Compile Native rendering library for OsmAndMapCreator​

Native rendering library could be used to test Offline Rendering or Offline Native Routing. It's very useful to debug and test a rendering style or a routing configuration.

  1. First setup the development environment, see {% link /setup-the-dev-environment %}.
  2. Download external dependencies
    cd core-legacy/externals
    ./configure.sh
  3. Specify JAVA_HOME globally via $PATH or in command line 
    export JAVA_HOME=<>
  4. Choose a specific target for OS and compile a specific version 'debug', 'release' or '' (default). Example
    cd core-legacy/targets
    ./intel-darwin.sh release # macOs release
    ./amd64-linux-clang.sh debug # linux debug - default
    cd ....baked # like intel-darwin-intel-darwin-clang-release.baked or amd64-linux-amd64-clang-release.baked
    make -j4
  5. Binaries will be available at core-legacy/binaries/. Example:
      core-legacy/binaries/darwin/intel/Debug/libosmand.dylib

Troubleshooting​

  • Missing files externals/libjpeg-turbo/jconfigint.h.in does not exist. If you experience that libjpeg-turbo couldn't compile
targets/.cmake/../../externals/skia/upstream.patched/third_party/externals/libjpeg-turbo/jconfigint.h.in does not exist.

You can find the files here and put them in the specified folder https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-core/blob/legacy_core/externals/jpeg/jconfig.h https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-core/blob/legacy_core/externals/jpeg/jconfigint.h

Compile qt core version for OsmAndMapCreator​

  1. First setup the development environment.
  2. Prepare build (cmake) for specific target. Example clang / linux :
   alias clang='clang -std=c++11'
   build/amd64-linux-clang.sh release
  1. Compile library release
    (cd "baked/amd64-linux-clang-release.make" && make -j4)
