Buildozer
=========
2013-03-16 02:31:39 +01:00
This tool is currently in alpha.
2012-12-19 02:34:32 +01:00
2012-12-20 01:02:57 +01:00
Buildozer is a tool for creating application packages easily.
2012-12-19 02:34:32 +01:00
2014-01-13 20:05:00 +01:00
The goal is to have one "buildozer.spec" file in your app directory, describing
your application requirements and settings such as title, icon, included modules
etc. Buildozer will use that spec to create a package for Android, iOS, Windows,
OSX and/or Linux.
Buildozer currently supports packaging for Android via the `python-for-android
<http://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/>`_
2014-01-13 20:05:00 +01:00
project, and for iOS via the kivy-ios project. Support for other operating systems
is intended in the future.

2014-10-27 11:50:28 +01:00
Note that this tool has nothing to do with the eponymous online build service
2014-10-27 11:51:30 +01:00
`buildozer.io <http://buildozer.io />`_.

buildozer.spec
--------------
2012-12-20 00:48:24 +01:00
See `buildozer/default.spec <https://raw.github.com/kivy/buildozer/master/buildozer/default.spec>`_ for an up-to-date spec file.
Default config
--------------
You can override the value of *any* buildozer.spec config token by
setting an appropriate environment variable. These are all of the
form ``$SECTION_TOKEN``, where SECTION is the config file section and
TOKEN is the config token to override. Dots are replaced by
underscores.
For example, here are some config tokens from the [app] section of the
config, along with the environment variables that would override them.
- ``title`` -> ``$APP_TITLE``
- ``package.name`` -> ``$APP_PACKAGE_NAME``
- ``android.p4a_dir`` -> ``$APP_ANDROID_P4A_DIR``
