Installing required packages (Ubuntu 10.04 -- 11.10)


$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \ zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \ x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \ libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \ libxml2-utils xsltproc

Installing required packages (Ubuntu 12.04)

$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \ zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \ libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \ libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \ python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
 
Next you will need to follow the guide to setting up the Build environment Here




  • Create an empty directory to hold your working files. If you're using MacOS, this has to be on a case-sensitive filesystem. Give it any name you like:
    $ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY $ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
  • Run repo init to bring down the latest version of Repo with all its most recent bug fixes. You must specify a URL for the manifest, which specifies where the various repositories included in the Android source will be placed within your working directory.
  • $ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
  • $ repo init -u git://codeaurora.org/platform/manifest.git -b [ics] -m [M7630AABBQMLZA4040276I.xml] --repo-url=git://codeaurora.org/tools/repo.git
  • When prompted, please configure Repo with your real name and email address. To use the Gerrit code-review tool, you will need an email address that is connected with a registered Google account. Make sure this is a live address at which you can receive messages. The name that you provide here will show up in attributions for your code submissions.
A successful initialization will end with a message stating that Repo is initialized in your working directory. Your client directory should now contain a .repo directory where files such as the manifest will be kept.

  • $ repo sync
 
LOcal mirror

These instructions assume that the mirror is created in /usr/local/aosp/mirror. The first step is to create and sync the mirror itself, which uses close to 10GB of network bandwidth and a similar amount of disk space. Notice the --mirror flag, which can only be specified when creating a new client:

$ mkdir -p /usr/local/aosp/mirror
$ cd /usr/local/aosp/mirror
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/mirror/manifest --mirror
$ repo sync Once the mirror is synced, new clients can be created from it. Note that it's important to specify an absolute path:

$ mkdir -p /usr/local/aosp/master
$ cd /usr/local/aosp/master
$ repo init -u /usr/local/aosp/mirror/platform/manifest.git $ repo sync Finally, to sync a client against the server, the mirror needs to be synced against the server, then the client against the mirror:

$ cd /usr/local/aosp/mirror
$ repo sync
$ cd /usr/local/aosp/master
$ repo sync

will edit in more detail later i like to get a idea of what my post will look like
 
Questions ans Answers.

Im doing this half asleep lol so im doing it on my machine and then posting here if Playfulgod or anyone wants to add to this by all means this is ment for any developer or want to learn to develop :P..



Prebuilt flash able Binary downloads

Here!!!


Thanks

I already have the ics source. Do i need to resync? I dont see a github link so im lost.

No u would just need my Github unless you wanna do your own lol.... Im getting there :P Im writing all this trying not to passout lol...

Boraichee im doing this so everyone if they want can build there own and play with it not all of them are like us lol... So im trying to build a comprehensive guide im doing some parts generically will fill in so i can get a base foundation of this setup :P.
 
My bad noob question. What I meant is, is it ready to be tested or released. Sorry if this is a noob question too.

Its cool man. You should add that you need a 64 bit pc to build android 2.3+. Id love to build. I still am stuck at the lockscreen on cm9 :) send that zip when you can. Btw do you have a admire-device.mk with your device profile.

nice thread dude, very helpful! thank you.
my question is i have 32 bit, but could i use vbox with ubuntu as a work around?
Click to expand...


Ive tryed this and will tell you first hand it is a pain in the ass. If you dont have 64bit id stay away from building gb or ics. Not like we would want 2.2.

just because u have a 32 bit os installed doesnt mean you have a 32 bit processer.

Your best bet is Google your processor Find out if its 32 bit or 64 bit most pc
s anymore are 64 bit been that way for a few years.

If so Download ubuntu Install it and duel boot repartition your hdd... IF u had a 64 bit os i could then give u the directions how to vmware a linux distro using a duel boot partitioned hdd.
