BACKPORT NOTE: excludes documentation changes in doc/build-android.md 4ba492052ec09d48f8c3f391cc248340e761c7f2 doc: Add minimum supported Android NDK version (Hennadii Stepanov) 6393bdcd53b106367b10317c227a114494c90142 doc: Move Android dependencies guide into `build-android.md` (Hennadii Stepanov) ac323a7222efaafc7bc3110b02f1ef2d2635c9a2 build: Switch to llvm buinutils for Android builds (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: The new Long Term Support release of the Android NDK is [available](https://groups.google.com/g/android-ndk-announce/c/MS6Qoub0DKE/m/Zfp5Ys8eAAAJ) since 2021-08-11: > As r23 is the new LTS, the support windows for r21 and r22 have now ended. On master (8ae4ba481ce8f7da173bef24432729c87a36cb70), dependency build fails because it expects GNU Binutils are present in the Android NDK. In [fact](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/BuildSystemMaintainers.md#binutils): > GNU Binutils remains available up to and including r22. All binutils tools with the exception of the assembler (GAS) were removed in r23. GAS was removed in r24. This PR switches our depends build system to llvm binutils. The usage of `llvm-ar` and `llvm-ranlib` tools effectively makes r21 the minimum supported version of NDK. With this PR: - building depends against NDK r23 LTS now is possible with `NO_QT=1` - building the `qt` package in depends against NDK r23 LTS still fails: ``` Creating qmake... ... ERROR: Cannot detect Android NDK toolchain. Please use -android-toolchain-version to specify it. ``` The issue with the `qt` package is going to be addressed in another PR.

What is Dash?
Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information read the original Dash whitepaper.
License
Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.
Tags are created to indicate new official,
stable release versions of Dash Core.
The develop branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Build / Compile from Source
The ./configure, make, and cmake steps, as well as build dependencies, are in ./doc/ as well:
- Linux: ./doc/build-unix.md
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and others - macOS: ./doc/build-osx.md
- Windows: ./doc/build-windows.md
- OpenBSD: ./doc/build-openbsd.md
- FreeBSD: ./doc/build-freebsd.md
- NetBSD: ./doc/build-netbsd.md
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
