How to build Mozc in Docker

Introduction

Docker containers are available to build Mozc binaries for Android JNI library and Linux desktop.

System Requirements

Currently, only Ubuntu 20.04 is tested to host the Docker container to build Mozc.

Set up Ubuntu 20.04 Docker container

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/mozc/master/docker/ubuntu20.04/Dockerfile
sudo docker build --rm -t $USER/mozc_ubuntu20.04 .
sudo docker run --interactive --tty --rm $USER/mozc_ubuntu20.04

Hint

Don't forget to rebuild Docker container when Dockerfile is updated.

Build Mozc for Linux Desktop

bazel build package --config oss_linux -c opt

package is an alias to build:

  • //server:mozc_server
  • //gui/tool:mozc_tool
  • //renderer:mozc_renderer
  • //unix/ibus:ibus_mozc
  • //unix:icons
  • //unix/emacs:mozc_emacs_helper

Install paths

build path install path
bazel-bin/server/mozc_server /usr/lib/mozc/mozc_server
bazel-bin/gui/tool/mozc_tool /usr/lib/mozc/mozc_tool
bazel-bin/renderer/mozc_renderer /usr/lib/mozc/mozc_renderer
bazel-bin/unix/ibus/ibus_mozc /usr/lib/ibus-mozc/ibus-engine-mozc
bazel-bin/unix/ibus/mozc.xml /usr/share/ibus/component/mozc.xml
bazel-bin/unix/emacs/mozc_emacs_helper /usr/bin/mozc_emacs_helper

Also, unzip bazel-bin/unix/icons.zip into /usr/share/ibus-mozc/.

Unittests

bazel test ... --config oss_linux -c dbg -- -net/... -third_party/...
  • ... means all targets under the current and sub directories.
  • -- means the end of the flags which start from -.
  • -<dir>/... means exclusion of all targets under the dir.
    • net and third_party are not supported yet.

Here is a sample command to run a specific test.

bazel test base:util_test --config oss_linux -c dbg
  • util_test is defined in base/BUILD.bazel.

The --test_arg=--logtostderr --test_output=all flags shows the output of unitests to stderr.

bazel test base:util_test --config oss_linux --test_arg=--logtostderr --test_output=all

Build Mozc on other Linux environment

Note: This section is not about our officially supported build process.

To build Mozc on other Linux environment rather than the supported Docker environment, you might need to modify the following files.

  • src/config.bzl - configuration of install paths, etc.
  • src/.bazelrc - compiler flags, etc.
  • src/WORKSPACE.bazel - build dependencies.

Tips: the following command makes the specified file untracked by Git.

git update-index --assume-unchanged src/config.bzl

This command reverts the above change.

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged src/config.bzl

Build Mozc library for Android:

Client code for Android apk is deprecated. (the last revision with Android client code is afb03dd).

The conversion engine for Android is built with Bazel.

bazel build package --config oss_android

package is an alias to build android/jni:mozc_lib.

Build Mozc for Linux Desktop with GYP (maintenance mode):

⚠️ The GYP build will stop supporting the IBus build.

To keep using the GYP build at this moment, please add the --use_gyp_for_ibus_build flag to build_mozc.py.

python3 build_mozc.py gyp
python3 build_mozc.py build -c Release package --use_gyp_for_ibus_build

package is an alias to build:

  • //server:mozc_server
  • //gui/tool:mozc_tool
  • //renderer:mozc_renderer
  • //unix/ibus:ibus_mozc

You can also run unittests as follows.

python3 build_mozc.py runtests -c Debug

Differences between Bazel build and GYP build

GYP build is under maintenance mode. While the existing targets are supported by both GYP and Bazel as much as possible, new targets will be supported by Bazel only.

Targets only for Bazel:

  • AUX dictionary (//data/dictionary_oss:aux_dictionary)
  • Filtered dictionary (//data/dictionary_oss:filtered_dictionary)
  • SVS character input instead of CJK compatibility ideographs (//rewriter:single_kanji_rewriter)
  • Zip code conversion (//server:mozc_server)
  • Qt-based candidate window (//renderer:mozc_renderer)
  • Build rules for icons (//unix/icons)

GYP Build configurations

In python3 build_mozc.py gyp step, there are two different styles to customize configurations. One is GYP_DEFINES environment variable and the other is commandline option.

[GYP_DEFINES="..."] python3 build_mozc.py gyp [options]

GYP_DEFINES

You can specify GYP_DEFINES environment variable to change variables in GYP files, which you can find many directories in Mozc's source tree. common.gypi is an example. Here are examples of GYP variables that you may want to change for Linux desktop build.

  • document_dir: Directory path where Mozc's license file is placed
  • ibus_mozc_path: ibus-mozc executable path
  • ibus_mozc_icon_path: ibus-mozc icon path

Note that you can specify multiple GYP variables as follows.

GYP_DEFINES="ibus_mozc_path=/usr/lib/ibus-mozc/ibus-engine-mozc ibus_mozc_icon_path=/usr/share/ibus-mozc/product_icon.png document_dir=/usr/share/doc/mozc" python3 build_mozc.py gyp

command line options

You can find many command line options as follows.

python3 build_mozc.py gyp --help

Here we show some notable options.

--noqt

You can use --noqt option to build Mozc without depending on Qt 5 library.

--server_dir

You can use --server_dir option to specify the directory name where mozc_server will be installed.

Compile options

In build_mozc.py build step, you can specify build types (Release or Debug) and one or more build targets. Please find each GYP file to see what build targets are defined.

python3 build_mozc.py build -c {Release, Debug} [gyp_path_1.gyp:gyp_target_name1] [gyp_path_2.gyp:gyp_target_name2]
