You need a linux distro installed or you can use a virtual machine with a linux distro installed

Yes u need Linux for building from source. You can install in a virtual machine but I would highly recommend actually installing it on your PC in a dual boot or something.
thanx but i cant install ubuntu coz i have a lot of important apps
so how can i install virtual machine and do the codes ?:laugh::laugh:

You can dualboot with windows so that you don't have to get rid of allthe stuff you have. That's what I've done and I'd highly recommend doing it this way. Here's how to set it up, its quite easy: link

you shouldnt be supporting software piracy on xda. And your statement "most torrents give you virus" is untrue. If you know what you are doing, you wont get any viruses.

Hi XDA people,
I know my question is kind of stupid ....
I have a new passion for android and haven't already switched from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu I guess) and I would like to learn how to work on kernel.
Just wanted to know if tools have been built for windows ?
I read pulser_g2 has tried to, but don't know if he succeed ?
Thanks for answers

Uhm... I've not worked on anything for building kernels on windows.
The solution is called Virtualbox though - just run Linux in a virtual machine

Sorry, yesterday I was reading threads concerning compilation of kernels and found a How to using linux (crossposted) and read someone tried to do it on windoze lol.
Anyway, thanks. I am going to switch to Linux, using a dualboot. (not ready to leave Windows lol)

Thanks for the answers guy...
Im guessing that it shouldnt be an issue because android is linux based, right ?
Some stuff like building Android can only be done on Linux. For most operations bar official update methods with official installers (Kies, Pc Companion and the like), Linux is fine.

Nothing should be an issue exactly for that reason...... However depends on your device with regards manufacturer linux support on updates etc, I know HTC like to issue updates as a windows installer bootstrapped exe. not a problem to work around and linux tools have been developed. .......
I never rely on the Manufacturer for anything tho, maybe because the first thing I do with most my devices is void the warranty
Personally I use nothing but linux, I had to stop using windows, It was wrecking my mind. I live most my life through the android debug shell, but I'm a little strange like that :laugh:

Sadly no. This isnt my rom, but other developer for my phone. This developer has stopped working on CM10 and i am only noob and I want to learn how to compile cyanogen roms.
Do you know how to learn it? Pleaase. :crying:

On windows it does not work?
You can't build cyanogenmod on windows...has to be linux...
You can get a logcat on windows though by installing the android SDK, once that's installed just type adb logcat on the cmd prompt
You don't have to replace windows withinux btw...you can dual boot it...give linux about 100gb or more and the rest will be for windows

Exactly, here I leave some links of various Linux distributions...
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer
http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
http://www.debian.org/CD/
Here are some that I use, but I recommend ubuntu, because it is the easiest to use for a newbie
Ok, i have ubuntu 12.04. Should I download cm compiler?

That's a good place to start indeed.
One thing: it does NOT have an option to add new devices.
when you add a device directory, you will get LOTS of errors you need to fix.
With your experience, I think you can fix the first one.
You'll need to ask the community for the rest.
Everyone here posting in the Chef Central area is willing to guide you,
but some of the actions you should really think of yourself..

Just follow the guide, if there is any error during the build process it will list it and stop building, just copy and paste the error to pastebin.com and share the link here or even better in that tutorial thread, someone will hopefully tell you what's wrong and how to fix it
Once its built flash it, if the flash fails then while.in recovery go to advanced, then report error...upload that log here
Once it boots up, if something's not working start a logcat then send us the logcat

I can learn about developing roms/mods/themes/fixing bugs or porting and all that sort of stuff?? Find it quite interesting and it would be nice if in a few months I could be helping atis112 and co.
You can test CM builds on DX Developers Unite and test stuff by building if you have a good PC.

With Windows will never be able to boot from source. You have to have Linux with x64.

As devs are waiting for atis112's device tree and new kernel source 3.4 (I think?). I don't think you can really do anything at the moment.
You can fix Sense 5 Bluetooth, btw.
xpirt
Wait, i might have a 32bit one with 6g of RAM and and like 2gh but its a vista
Then there is another 64bit one 4g of RAM windows 7 but not sure on the rest of the specs
would any of them manage?

You read my post? Devs don't need people for test until they will get device tree.
So try doing another works, like fix Bluetooth (like I said...)

Ok.. So try doing what dominos_liberty said in mySENSE-dx5 thread.
If you are not able to do that, just wait for other releases.
xpirt
Listen Please:
1. YOU NEED LINUX DISTRO. UBUNTU/LIMUXMINT/ETC ETC and 64 bit (Not Windows, as compiling on it, EVEN IF YOU SOMEHOW DO IT, will be complex as hell)
2. Ram must be at least 3-5 gb, otherwise the compile will crash a lot. Then you have to restart and resume compile multiple times.
3. You are a total noob... Not saying in Offensive way, but its a fact. So dont hurry about anything. Better yet, search google and chat with any dev.
Sincere advice, Read lots of guide and learn linux first. If you havent used it till now, you wont be able to do a single thing on it..... it is TOTALLY unlike windows... except maybe a few GUI elements.
Learn about linux some more. Then follow some compile guides by searching google. I know you are eager to help and learn, but creating threads wont make you learn... reading will. Read, read and then read some more.

Well I recommend you to start from decompiling various apk's and making changes in them. That's how I started. You should not start directly with compiling and stuff yet.. make a stock based custom rom for your phone. That's the first step.
