17 18 Follow [the installation instructions](https://github.com/googlei18n/nototools#installation). 19 20 Run `make` in _noto-emoji_. 21 22 Compile _spritegen_ by running `go build spritegen.go`. 23 24 ## Usage 25 26 Execute `./generate-for-briar.sh`. 27 28 ## What do to next? 29 30 When everything went well, you can go update 31 the new emojis in Briar: 32 [code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/tree/master/briar-android/src/main/assets](https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/tree/master/briar-android/src/main/assets) @grote Is this the right next step?
I almost made it, but short before the end the script fails with this:
$ ./generate-for-briar.sh Directory noto-emoji/build/briar does already exist. Generating sprites... 2018/07/03 23:12:54 open noto-emoji/build/briar/emoji_u1f471.png: no such file or directory
Therefore I could not test !1 (comment 28390) and can't do a MR today.
you need to grab this file from AOSP source code
Do you remember from where exactly in the AOSP source code you got it? I searched for it but did not find it anywhere...
did the generation work without upgrading the submodules?
I did not try it yesterday, but today it also failed with this slightly different message:
2018/07/04 09:58:28 open noto-emoji/build/briar/emoji_u1f468_200d_1f469_200d_1f466.png: no such file or directory
You can use https://android.googlesource.com/ or https://aosp-mirror.github.io/ but yeah it is hard to find stuff in there.
today it also failed with this slightly different message
Strange, better find out why these files are missing.
So I found the source of emoji.xml, @grote mentioned it in his latest PR on upstream's repo. However, the log says it did not get updated in the last two years, meaning there's either nothing to update or the file got moved to another place.

Hey Nico! Thanks for picking this up!
Wow, is this a big mess! C, Go and Python to generate some emojis o_O
Yeah, this is a fork of https://github.com/mcginty/spritegen and was what Signal was using at the time.
I didn't add any README, because it might conflict with upstream. But upstream seems dead, so we might as well go ahead.
Good, that you found the
briar
branch.mentioned in issue briar#1343 (closed)
Today I tried it again tackling this MR but did not have success again. In the light of briar#1343 (closed) I don't see much sense in investing more time into this and will therefore close this MR.
