January 2025 Mozc engineering monthly summary focusing on Windows build reliability and Android NDK integration within google/mozc. Key outcomes include stabilizing the Windows toolchain workflow, modernizing the Bazel-based build process, and simplifying the Docker image to require only the Android NDK. These changes reduce CI failures, improve cross-platform artifact correctness (32/64-bit), and accelerate developer onboarding for Windows and Android targets. Lower-level improvements increased debuggability (PDB generation) and build compatibility (CETCOMPAT, DEPENDENTLOADFLAG) while preserving existing artifacts. The work also sets the stage for future tooling updates and easier platform updates across the project.

During December 2024, Mozc's build and cross-platform readiness advanced significantly. We delivered ARM64 build readiness by restructuring architecture-specific configurations (CETCOMPAT), simplifying ProgramFilesX86Cache logic, removing Windows architecture macros, and refactoring env file handling to enable ARM64 builds without impacting final artifacts. Concurrently, we modernized the build system by upgrading Bazel to 8.0.0, cleaning up dependencies, updating rules (apple, python, qt_win), addressing Bazel version changes, and stabilizing glob/path handling. These efforts reduce build fragility, improve cross-platform consistency, and set a solid foundation for future ARM64 and Windows builds, delivering tangible business value by accelerating platform expansion and simplifying maintenance.

In Oct 2024, google/mozc delivered automation and reliability improvements across CI, installer lifecycle, and cross‑platform build support. A new GitHub Actions workflow runs buildifier lint on BUILD.bazel and *.bzl on every push, improving code quality and consistency. The installer lifecycle was hardened by ensuring mozc_server and mozc_renderer shut down during upgrades (and uninstall), removing upgrade blockers. The Windows build workflow regained a 32‑bit Bazel workaround in .bazelrc to maintain compatibility with Bazel 7.0+ until a permanent solution is available. These changes reduce post‑merge defects, unblock upgrades, and preserve Windows build stability, delivering business value through faster feedback, fewer upgrade failures, and broader platform support. Technologies demonstrated include CI automation with GitHub Actions, Bazel/buildifier tooling, Windows build considerations, and installer lifecycle management.
