# Substituting local ac and GV
|
|
To build Waterfox with a local android-components or local GeckoView, we recommend the following methods:
|
|
|
|
|type|waterfox -> local ac|waterfox -> local GV|waterfox -> local ac -> local GV|
|
|
|-|-|-|-|
|
|
|**method**|local.properties|local.properties|manual publish + local.properties|
|
|
|
|
For instructions with `local.properties`, see [the root README](https://github.com/WaterfoxCo/Waterfox-Android/blob/main/README.md). For instructions on manual publish + local.properties, keep reading. See [ac#8386](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/8386) for why we can't use local properties for fenix -> local ac -> local GV publishing.
|
|
|
|
## waterfox -> local ac -> local GV
|
|
We're going to manually publish our GeckoView to our local maven repository, modify ac locally to consume it, and use local.properties to build waterfox -> local ac.
|
|
|
|
### 1. Synchronize checkouts
|
|
To avoid breaking changes causing our builds to fail, we should make sure each of the repositories is on a commit from around the same time frame. You can use the [`android-components/tools/list_compatible_dependency_versions.py` script](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/main/tools/list_compatible_dependency_versions.py) to trivially identify ac and GV builds from a given waterfox commit. If you want to synchronize builds from a GV or ac commit, you'll likely need to try to align around the commit merge dates (use `git log --pretty=fuller`).
|
|
|
|
### 2. Manually publish GeckoView
|
|
With our builds synchronized, we can publish our local changes to GeckoView. To publish GeckoView, run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
./mach build && ./mach gradle \
|
|
geckoview:publishWithGeckoBinariesDebugPublicationToMavenLocal \
|
|
exoplayer2:publishDebugPublicationToMavenLocal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This **needs to be run every time you make changes.**
|
|
|
|
We also need to know what version of GeckoView we published. You can make this local change:
|
|
```diff
|
|
diff --git a/mobile/android/geckoview/build.gradle b/mobile/android/geckoview/build.gradle
|
|
--- a/mobile/android/geckoview/build.gradle

|

```
|
|
|
|
And execute `./mach build | grep version` to find a version number like `98.0.20211208151112-SNAPSHOT`.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Modify ac to consume local GV
|
|
Update the build.gradle and Gecko.kt file in Waterfox (see the diff below). Remember to update the GV version with the version you found in step 2!

### 4. Build Waterfox with local.properties change
|
|
Now build Waterfox as usual with [the `local.properties` change](https://github.com/WaterfoxCo/Waterfox-Android#auto-publication-workflow-for-android-components-and-application-services) to build with your local ac. This build will automatically build ac each time it is run. You should have a fenix -> local ac -> local GV build now!
