Automatic compilation of native libraries for the Signal messenger.
A CI/CD workflow to automatically compile libsignal, which is used by signal-cli and other projects. This rust library needs to be built for each operating system and processor architecture where it is used. This repo provides pre-compiled binaries for some of the popular platforms.
The compiled library files (.so / .dylib / .dll) can be incorporated into signal-cli according to the instructions on its wiki.
For example, for signal-cli v0.13.7 on ARM64 Linux: download signal-cli-0.13.7.tar.gz from signal-cli's releases and libsignal_jni.so-v0.58.0-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz from this repo's releases. Unpack downloaded files with tar -xzf ….tar.gz. Then replace the library file:
zip signal-cli-0.13.7/lib/libsignal-client-0.58.0.jar -d '*signal_jni*'
zip signal-cli-0.13.7/lib/libsignal-client-0.58.0.jar -uj libsignal_jni.so
The workflow automatically checks for new releases in https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal repo. If one is available, it downloads and builds the native library objects.
The files published in this repo's releases are compiled and uploaded by GitHub's CI infrastructure, following the steps in the workflow files. The github-actions bot authors every release. Additionally, a SHA checksum of every compiled file is printed out to the logs during the workflow run.
This means that the resulting binaries can be used with confidence that they were built by GitHub Actions by executing instructions in the open-source workflow files.
