ROM build error - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm building my first ROM from AOSP/Froyo branch (android-2.2.3_r2) on Ubuntu 12.04 and target 'emulator'.
In 'make' I had to solve several compatibilities that have been popped-up as fatal errors. But for this one:
frameworks/base/libs/utils/RefBase.cpp: In member function ‘void android::RefBase::weakref_type::trackMe(bool, bool)’:
frameworks/base/libs/utils/RefBase.cpp:483:67: error: passing ‘const android::RefBase::weakref_impl’ as ‘this’ argument of ‘void android::RefBase::weakref_impl::trackMe(bool, bool)’ discards qualifiers [-fpermissive]
make: *** [out/debug/host/linux-x86/pr/sim/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libutils_intermediates/RefBase.o] Errorr 1

I didn't find any reference so far.
I have tried to relate the issue by editing the file frameworks/base/libs/utils/Android.mk as here
Code:
LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DLIBUTILS_NATIVE=1 $(TOOL_CFLAGS) -fpermissive
but it still doesn't work.
I appreciate your help!
Thanks

EDITED:
I reply to myself because I've found the solution: everything is a matter of exactly following the toolchain and dev environment that is recommended by Android for each version.
As I'm using an upgraded Ubuntu system the solution is either to take the source code file by file and update to the new build tools or to downgrade the tools to the original ones. The first solution may take some months work, therefore, in my case, I've just done the following and eventually got a clean Froyo from source (which can be customized, of course):
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac (and select the 1.5 version)
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java (and select the 1.5 version)
install gcc-4.4 and g++-4.4, if they are not installed
$ apt-get install gcc-4.4
$ apt-get install g++-4.4
$ mkdir ~/bin, then
$ cd bin
$ ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.4 gcc
$ ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.4 g++

Building From Source?

im trying to build android from source on ubuntu 10.04. im on a 64 bit system . but this is what im stuck on.
when i enter the repo command:
repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b eclair
it get this error back
exec: 23: python: not found
any ideas.
python: not found
yeah how do i fix it though?
thanks
install python
i have it installed already v2.6
You may have to install a version of python prior to the version you've got installed. Check which version the SDK is compatible with. =)

Unsure what you have done up to this point. It seems as though your PATH to repo is not set. I'm assuming you have already done this:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo
$ chmod +x ~/bin/repo
$ export PATH="${PATH}:~/bin"
$ mkdir ~/xdandroid
$ cd ~/xdandroid
Have you checked your PATH settings to make sure ~/bin is in there?
Code:
echo $PATH
If you are following the wiki, the command that's on there for path doesn't work for Ubuntu (I experienced it myself and haven't looked into why...it could be because it needs to be done as sudo). Try this in terminal:
Code:
gedit ~/.bashrc
then go to the end of the file and add this to the end:
Code:
PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
Close any terminal windows you have open and then reopen terminal. Try the command again...

[TUT] CM6 / CM7 / Kernel Compile Step by Step

1) You need the following:
-Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.
Or:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python2.5
-JDK 6 if you wish to build Gingerbread or newer
or
-JDK 5 for Froyo or older.
You can download both from java.sun.com.
Or:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk-
Git 1.5.4 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com.
Or:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install git-core-(optional) Valgrind, a tool that will help you find memory leaks, stack corruption, array bounds overflows, etc.
Download from valgrind.org.
Or:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install valgrind
2) Install required packages.
Code:
$ 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
3) Download the repo:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo6) Initialize the repo:
Code:
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORYF
or master branch:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
For specific branch other than Gingerbread you would put in Donut, Eclair, Froyo, or Gingerbread where it currently says "gingerbread" without the parenthesis:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b gingerbread
4) 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.
5) Gather the files:
Code:
$ repo sync
6) Verify and insert public key block:
Code:
$ gpg --import
Code:

8) Compiling:
Code:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Or:
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
9) Issue:
Code:
$ lunch
10) Pick your poison.
11) Now issue:
Code:
$ make
12) Now just cross your fingers and hope it all works out!
13) Issue this command to create a flashable zip:
Code:
$ make otapackage
Or if you want to test on an emulator:
Code:
$ emulator
15) If all went well you can either run your build on an emulator or flash it on a device.
Code:
Please note that you have already selected your build target with lunch, and it is unlikely at best to run on a different target than it was built for.
~How To Add A Device To The List~
1) Find the github for your device you wish to add. (For me it is the HTC Hero CDMA)
2) Now navigate to the location you are going clone the device tree to:
Code:
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY/device/htc3) Clone the github device tree from remote to local: (The heroc would be whatever you want that folder to be named so make sure it is whatever standard name would be for your device, example: Nexus One [Passion], Nexus S [Crespo], Motorola Droid [Sholes], HTC Incredible [Inc], etc.)
Code:
git clone git://github.com/wjb/android_device_htc_heroc.git -b gingerbread heroc
3) Now navigate into the folder:
Code:
$ cd heroc
4) Setup Device Specific Make Files:
Code:
$ ./setup-makefiles.sh
5) Prepare To Copy Device Proprietary Files To Vendor Tree:
Code:
$ cd prebuilt
6) Copy Proprietary Files To Vendor Tree:
Code:
$ cp -r proprietary WORKING_DIRECTORY/vendor/htc/heroc
7) Navigate back to your home directory for building:
Code:
$ cd ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY
8) Prepare To Compile:
Code:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Or:
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
9) Get your list of devices:
Code:
$ lunch
10) Pick your poison.
11) Now compile:
Code:
$ make
Or if you want a flashable zip:
Code:
$ make otapackage
Compiling kernel:
You will need sdk / ndk packages from Google:
mkdir KERNEL_DIRECTORY
cd to KERNEL_DIRECTORY
Code:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=???/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- make semc_?????_defconfig
or
Unpack config.gz to KERNEL_DIRECTORY as .config from kernel.sin --- how? Simple use hexeditor and search two times for gzip magic 1F8B08 cut all before that and you have config.gz
then
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=???/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- make
Compiling invidual packages:
Code:
make [ module name ]
Why this so down this is a huge guide no one interested?
THANKS Man I was wondering how to do this, thanks a lot this guide will help many people. And others will understand the hard work that involves creating a custom kernel or rom.
This guide is for debian based distributions

[GUIDE] How to configure Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr daily builds for compiling ROMs

In the last few days I started to try the Ubuntu 14.04 daily builds on my computer and I tried to configure it to compile android roms and managed to get a working configuration :laugh:
This guide is meant for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr 64 bit. 32 Bit won't work.
If you want to use another ubuntu version, some things might be a little different. Just search on xda and you will find all the instructions that you need to complete the setup.
DISCLAMER
Although the procedures in this guide were tested on my pc/phone and produced a working build for my Galaxy Nexus, I take no responsibility for any consequences derived from their use.
1) SET UP THE BUILD ENVIRONMENT
Remove openJDK and install Java 6 jdk. Open a terminal and type:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
This will uninstall openJDK.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
Adds a PPA to your system, needed to download java.
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Download and installs java!
To make sure the correct version of Java is activated, run the following at the Terminal prompt:
Code:
java -version
You should see something like that:
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)
Now type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python lzop
This will install the needed packages.
When done, do this:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Now, install the repo binary:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Edit .bashrc:
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
At the bottom of the file, add the following line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Save it (In nano type Ctrl-O and then Enter, then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt).
Restart bash:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
Now you can download the sources of the rom that you want to compile, I make an examble for cm10.2:
2) DOWNLOAD THE SOURCES:
Code:
mkdir ~/cyanogenmod
cd ~/cyanogenmod
This creates a folder named "cyanogenmod" and opens it.
Initialize the repo:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2
Download time!
Code:
repo sync
It will download about 10gb of data, so be patient!
Then get your device files and binaries and compile!

You can get device and kernel tree from cyanogenmod github (android_device_samsung_tuna, android_device_samsung_maguro, kernel_Samsung_tuna).
There's a good guide on xda called "how to use github" that explains cherry-picking and some other useful stuff.

E: Unable to locate package oracle-java6-installer
??? i added the ppa and updated
Edit: there is no java6 intsaller for trusty, only 7 and 8, you have to intsall it manually
Also then repo bin thing should be: mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Yeah. This is not an accurate guide. I had trouble getting java 6 installed too. There is a link at the bottom of this post and it will show you how I did it. Had to install it manually. Everything else should work properly I think. Anyways, if you have any questions about setting it up, feel free to PM me.
install java - http://askubuntu.com/questions/67909/how-do-i-install-oracle-jdk-6
install gksu - http://askubuntu.com/questions/290810/how-to-add-gksudo-or-what-to-use-instead-in-ubuntu-13-04
That should get you going on the java part.
to get Java JDK 6 do following (for install to a system without graphical Interface and above workaround not work):
1. Download the jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin from the Oracle/Sun Java Download Area
Code:
wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u38-b05/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin"
2. Make the bin file executable:
Code:
chmod +x jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
3. Extract the bin file:
Code:
./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
4. Move the extracted folder to this this location:
Code:
sudo mv jdk1.6.0_38 /usr/lib/jvm/./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
5. Install the new Java source in system:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/jar 1
6. Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
sudo update-alternatives --config javah
sudo update-alternatives --config javap
sudo update-alternatives --config jar
7. Check Java version:
Code:
java -version
8. Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the new Java location and version:
Code:
ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar

to get Java JDK 6 do following (for install to a system without graphical Interface and above workaround not work):
1. Download the jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin from the Oracle/Sun Java Download Area
Code:
wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u38-b05/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin"
2. Make the bin file executable:
Code:
chmod +x jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
3. Extract the bin file:
Code:
./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
4. Move the extracted folder to this this location:
Code:
sudo mv jdk1.6.0_38 /usr/lib/jvm/./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
5. Install the new Java source in system:
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javac 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/java 1

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/jar 1
6. Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
sudo update-alternatives --config javah
sudo update-alternatives --config javap
sudo update-alternatives --config jar
7. Check Java version:
Code:
java -version
8. Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the new Java location and version:
Code:
ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ALSO add to path and thats 38 not 45... doesn't really matter but still.
Its a sample and you can replace 6u38 with 6u45
work fine too
This work better, faster and install every time the last JDK 6
Needed if have apt-apt-repository Command not found
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties
Then
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y oracle-java6-installer
java -version
ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
I was able to install oracle jdk 6 without any problem, using elia222's method
These instructions worked perfectly on 14.04 (update from 13.10 using update-manager -d)! :good:

[GUIDE] Build Cyanogenmod from Source

Hi,
I have decided to write this post after reading so many different guides on my journey to build my own version of Cyanogenmod and after countless tries and hours of research I succeeded. Here's how:
You will need:
A Ubuntu box
A basic knowledge of Linux
A fast internet connection or a lot of patience.
Once you have setup your Ubuntu box either in a Virtual Machine of as a stand alone PC you will need to open a terminal, this can be done by pressing 'CTRL + ALT + T' or opening the search menu and typing "Terminal".
You should see the following:
Code:
[email protected]:~$
We will need to install all the necessary files in order to build and download Cyanogenmod, we can do this by running the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex git gnupg gperf libesd0-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop pngcrush schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre
As many Linux users have more than one version of Java installed we will need to set the the version we just installed as our default version.
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
If by any chance you have a 64-bit version of Ubuntu installed we will require some extra files, if not please skip this command.
Code:
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev
We will now for simplicity's sake need to create the following directories in your home folder. These directories will host our build.
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
Once you have setup everything correctly we will now to download the Cyanogenmod source code of which we are going to use the 'Repo' utility. This utility is an automated tool for GitHub cloning. We can download this and set the correct permissions by running the following commands.
Code:
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
To continue with download the source code we will now initialize the GitHub repository that holds Cyanogenmod. We are going to need to specify the repository with -u and the branch with -b. Here I am going to download the latest available version of Cyanagenmod 13.0.
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
~/bin/repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
And to finally start downloading the source:
Code:
~/bin/repo sync -c -f -j8
Where:
-c Download the current version instead of all history.
-F Forces the connection to continue even if a connection error occurs.
-j8 This specifies the number of parallel operations. Use -j8 for a quad core processor and a -j16 for an octa-core.
Once the download completes successfully we will need to download the device specific code, this includes specific applications and kernel configurations for your device. To start downloading the files type:
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
breakfast angler
The download should now start, it should only take minutes however this depends on your internet connection.
Again once this completes, we need to grab proprietary specific files. We first need to navigate to ~/android/system/device/huawei/angler. You can do this by running the following command:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/device/huawei/angler
As the script we are going to use has some dependencies we will need to get them first.
Code:
git clone https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali
cd smali
./gradlew build
cd ..
Additionally we need to download a Google Stock Image, I'm using angler-mmb29m-factory-8c31db3f.tgz, once downloaded you will need to unzip it and cd to it within the terminal.
and then download:
Code:
wget http://people.canonical.com/~mfisch/tools/ext4_utils.tar.gz
tar xzsf ext4_utils.tar.gz
cd ext4_utils
mv simg2img ../angler-mmb29m/
cd ../angler-mmb29m/
We will now convert the system and vendor img's using simg2img to a readable format and mount them so we extract the propriety files using ./extract_files.sh
We can do all of this by using the following commands.
Code:
./simg2img system.img system.ext4
./simg2img vendor.img vendor.ext4
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/system
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/vendor
sudo mount -rw system.ext4 /mnt/system
sudo mount -rw vendor.ext4 /mnt/vendor
Finally we can extract the proprietary files for the system image by running the following commands.
Code:
cd ~/android/system/device/huawei/angler/
./extract_files /mnt/ smali/
Finally we can finish off by our by running the brunch command to build and generate the .zip file of our own Cyanogenmod.
Code:
brunch angler
Note: This will take 20 mins - 2 hours - 2 days depending on your hardware spec.
And well that's it, the location of your generated .zip file should be in blue at the end of your terminal.

As I have only just started my journey on this long path I have done a bit of research for you. Google released there own device specific binaries for the Nexus devices of which usually include the following:
NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Media, Audio, Thermal, Touch Screen, Sensors
GPS, Camera, Gestures, Graphics, DRM, Video
This to me suggests that the chipset suppliers supply them - Broadcom, Qualcomm... or even other companies like Motorola. So if you are looking for binaries for other devices I would start with there chipset.
If you would like to look at Google's binaries following the link below however before you go looking for the 6P binaries they haven't been uploaded yet + if you do find any further information please reply to this comment or PM me.
Just saying, the official guide on the wiki works just fine. Been building for all my CM12-capable devices since 2015. Good for people who don't go there, though.

That is true but I had major difficulties with it, for example it asks you to initialise the cm 12.1 branch when it wasn't available and I had a major pain with extract_files as it wouldnt use adb but instead had to use stock firmware to grab the proprietary files.

You still have to spot the tiny mistakes in the guide, of course. The guide hasn't been updated in a long time.
I didn't grab any proprietary files for any of my devices and the builds still run fine - the files should already be in the repo.

I'm also just at the beginning - building according to official guides without modifying the source. Just giving some tips so that you don't step on the same mines as I did
P.S. Transition from CM12.1 to CM13 was a real PITA...

Great guide, I have a build environment setup on Linux Mint, but I am curious to know if the simg2img stuff and extraction is necessary, I thought the initial build process took care of that??

It's not, it's a lot easier to just use the Muppets and not worry about it.

I suppose I should start learning how to building up a roomservice.xml for this 6P then. Thanks for the confirmation.

Look under the right branch
Code:
./simg2img system.img system.ext4
./simg2img vendor.img vendor.ext4
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/system
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/vendor
sudo mount -rw system.ext4 /mnt/system
sudo mount -rw vendor.ext4 /mnt/vendor
Code:
cd ~/android/system/device/huawei/angler/
./extract_files /mnt/ smali/
You have to take ownership of the mounted images before you can extract the blobs. Otherwise you have to use sudo for extract. Then the folder is root and make is denied permission while compiling.

I ran into issues. That's why I mentioned it. Also the extract-files tool is formatted different in my tree. After mounting these were are my exact commands. Maybe it will help someone else.
Code:
sudo chown -hR <user> /mnt/system
sudo chown -hR <user> /mnt/vendor
cd ~/android/system/device/huawei/angler
./extract-files.sh /mnt/ smali/
Hola
I have gone through this guide (really well put together) but I am getting an error almost at the very end and I need some guidance please:
I invoke brunch angler command but it shows:
~/android/system/device/huawei/angler$ brunch angler
bash: build/tools/roomservice.py: No such file or directory
** Don't have a product spec for: 'cm_angler'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
No such item in brunch menu. Try 'breakfast'
I tried the lunch and breakfast commands but it comes up with the same error.
I did run both:
source build/envsetup.sh
breakfast angler
from the right directory and no errors came up. Can anyone assist me? Thanks.

Establishing Android Build Enviroment under openSuse Leap

Tutorial how set up Android Build Enviroment on openSUSE Leap
If this help's u hit Thanks!
1) If you don’t have fresh installed openSUSE Leap first you need remove all Java installation, many people might have the wrong version of Java installed.
Code:
sudo zypper remove openjdk-* icedtea-* icedtea6-*
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove any stray Java versions. Otherwise, move on to the next step.
2) Install the main build tools with this command:
Code:
sudo zypper install bison curl flex git gnupg gperf libesd-devel liblz4-1_4 ncurses-devel libSDL-devel python-wxWi dgets-devel libxml2-2 libxml2-tools lzop java-1.7.0-openjdk java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel schedtool squashfs libxslt1 zip zlib-devel make gcc-c++
Appendx A to 2:
To setup maven which is needed for building:
1. Download maven:
wget http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/apache/maven/maven-3/3.3.9/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz
2. Extract the file
tar -xvzf apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz /tmp
3. Move to /opt/ folder
sudo mv /tmp/apache-maven-3.3.9 /opt/
4. Update environment, cd to home directory
cd ~
nano .bashrc
5. Append the path
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/apache-maven-3.3.9/bin
6. Reload
source .bashrc
7. Verify maven
mvn --version
Appendix B to 2:
For 64-bit system also install:
sudo zypper install glibc-devel-32bit ncurses-devel-32bit readline-devel-32bit libz1-32bit
>> build-essential << is Ubuntu meta package which in openSUSE is devel_basis
And u can install it by command
sudo zypper install --type pattern devel_basis
Select y to what it is offering to install.
3) Repo install...
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Appendix to 3:
To fix repo sync u will need install this:
sudo zypper install libpth20-32bit
maybe this to:
sudo zypper install openjdk-8-devel
4) Use your favorite text editor to open ~/.bashrc - I like nano:
Code:
nano ~/.bashrc
By default nano is not installed so install it by command:
sudo zypper install nano
5) At the very bottom (use the Page Down key) paste this code to a new line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
export USE_CCACHE=1
6) Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
7) In the terminal, navigate to where you would like to download the Android source code. The commands below will make it in your home folder.
Code:
mkdir ~/android
cd ~/android
8) Now you're going to initialize the repo. This is where you decide the flavor of Android you want to build, i.e. AOKP, CyanogenMod, AOSP etc.
For the purposes of this tutorial, here's the command for Cyanogenmod 13 (Marshmallow) :
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
9) Time to get the source, many gigabytes of downloading await.
Don't worry, it's automated. It's the last one!
Code:
repo sync
Check back periodically every hour or so. It all depends on how fast your connection is.
That's it! Everything should be ready to go.
Thanks for the guide
In Tumbleweed, the package is liblz4-1_7
There is a typo, it should be python-wxWidgets-devel
Also, the link to repo should be complete:
Code:
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo
Thanks
does it worth to have a separate user for builds?
Android Build Enviroment for openSUSE tumbleweed early 2019
Sorry for necromancing this old thread, but I've recently switched to openSUSE and these are the dependencies that I've used to successfully build LineageOS-16.0.:
Code:
sudo zypper install --type pattern devel_basis
sudo zypper install bison java-1_8_0-openjdk java-1_8_0-openjdk-devel SDL-devel python-wxWidgets-devel lzop schedtool squashfs glibc-devel-32bit ncurses-devel-32bit ncurses5-devel-32bit readline-devel-32bit ccache libz1-32bit python-xml bc
You can find maven here:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/maven
and android-tools here:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/android-tools
Dependencies already included by default in my system (not included in "devel_basis") that may you don't have but you need:
Code:
gpg2 liblz4-1 libxml2-2 libxml2-tools libxslt-tools zip
Just sharing because this post will (probably) save some time to someone in the same situation in early 2019.
