# HOWTO BUILD
[cross](https://github.com/rust-embedded/cross) is used for cross compiling [libsignal-client](https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal-client).
* download new release from `https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal-client/releases`
* unzip + change into directory
* cd into `java` directory
* run `cross build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --release -p libsignal-jni`
run `cross build --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --release -p libsignal-jni`
run `cross build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --release -p libsignal-jni`
to build the library for `x86-64`, `armv7` and `arm64`
* the built library will be in the `target/<architecture>/release` folder
## Why?
Building libsignal-client every time a new docker image gets released takes really long (especially for cross platform builds with docker/buildx and QEMU). Furthermore, due to this bug here (https://github.com/docker/buildx/issues/395) we would need to use an ugly workaround for that right now. As libsignal-client isn't released very often I guess it's okay to manually build a new version once in a while.
