Having problems setting up build enviroment for building android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
I'm trying to setup my build enviroment. I have mint linux 14 64bit. when following the guide on http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-android-from-source, i seem to be getting errors. the lines it says to use in terminal are
Code:
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
Here is the printout of result.

Can anyone make heads or tails of this?

The errors you are running into relate to the version of Java you are trying to install. Since JRE 6 and JDK 6 have long not been included in the main package repository you are getting an error saying that they can't be found, as a result you will need to install them from a different source. I would recommend taking a look at this guide on setting up the proper version of Java for your build environment (Even though the guide is for Ubuntu it should still work on Mint). Additionally you never want to use Icedtea version of Java for building Android and it is recommend to use the official Oracle/Sun JDK 6 and JRE 6 for building Android.

i was running on the same problem you need to install oracle java 1.6 (jdk spew errors, for some reason)
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
sudo update-alternatives --config java (Here choose oracle)
that should do, it did it for me ^^
Cia fellow Mint
Think I have gotten past that point. Thanks guys.
The problem I'm running into now is that on the tutorial it says that a command has to be added to ~/.bashrc script. However, I don't see ~/.bashrc in home folder.

If you navigate to your home directory using the built in file manager the .bashrc and/or the .profile will be hidden by default by pressing ctrl + h should show all the hidden files in the home directory. The .bashrc is typically used in this step since not all versions of mint come with .bashrc you can create using the following command:
Code:
touch ~/.bashrc
Then you can input the command into the .bashrc file.

Hmm, i just ran: 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-dev:i386 \ g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos python-markdown \ libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386 again and it installed libncurses5, which for some reason wasnt installed when I first set up my build environment. Thanks lithid, problem solved!

[GUIDE][COMPLETE]How to build ROM with Google Cloud
What is this Tutorial?
This tutorial will help you learn about building a custom ROM from source on Google Cloud.
Who this tutorial is for?
This tutorial is for those who want to build a custom ROM from source, but are unable to do that because of following reasons:
1. Low network speed
2. Limited bandwidth
3. Irregular power supply which obstructs the repo sync (yes, this is a reason in some countries )
What is needed for you to start with this thread?
1. A google account
2. A credit card – This is a must to start using Google Cloud Update: I read that people have successfully used debit cards as well.; so try your luck
With you card you can activate free trial and use Google Cloud without any charges for 12 months. Your card will be charged for $1 for verification purpose (and that’s it, the charges on my credit card got reversed in a day- I’m not sure about the reversal of the charges on debit card charges will be reversed on the cards [But I'm not responsible if they don't revert it ]).
3. A PC with good (average will also do, I used 512 kbps connection) internet connection (to access Google Cloud, your bandwidth will not be used much).
4. Common sense (you should have it as you are reading this thread)
5. Willingness to read, search and ask right questions in right forums, communities
So, let’s start our journey!
Part – I
Activating Google Cloud FREE Trial
1. Go to Google Cloud website: https://cloud.google.com/ and click on Free Trial button
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Login with your Google account username and password.
3. Click on SIGN UP FOR FREE TRIAL
Enter all the details and click on Accept and start free trial button
4. It will start your free trial and create first project for you
Congratulations! You have completed the most important Part – I of the process and you are now ready to setup the environment for building your ROM!
Update: Now the free trial validity is 1 year so more time to learn how to build the ROM
Part – II
Creating Virtual machine on Google Compute Engine
1. Click on the 2 lines menu displayed on the left top corner to bring on the Products and Services list on left side.
2. In this menu, click on Compute Engine
3. It’ll show following page, click on Create Instance button
4. On Create Instance page, specify the details like Name, Zone (if you want to change them). In Machine Type combo, select a machine configuration that you would like to have.
I use 4 cores and 15 GB memory
5. In Boot disk section, click on Change button.
6. On Boot disk details page, select the OS that you want to have on VM Instance. I always used Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (and it never let me down). Update: Now I use 16.04 LTS
Enter the size of disk. I used 500 GB so that I can sync 2-3 ROMs in the same VM Instance Then click on Select button.
Note: With this configuration I was able to clean build a ROM in around 70 minutes. The repo sync took around 25-30 minutes (which would have taken a week on my slow internet connection)
7. It’ll take you back to Create Instance page. Here you can specify the Firewall by checking both the check boxes. Finally click on Create button to create the VM Instance.
8. It’ll take a minute or two and create the VM instance. It’ll be in running state as indicated by the Green check box in front of the VM Name.
Note: You can start or stop the instance by selecting it and then clicking on stop or start button. It is advised to stop the VM instance once you are done with using it.
9. Click on the 3 dots menu near SSH and select option Open in browser window.
10. It’ll start the SSH connection to the VM Instance that you have created.
11. Run following command to get su
Code:

Wish you all the best for building your first ROM
How to upload the ROM zip on internet? Many guys, who were able to build the ROM successfully, were asking about how to get the ROM zip on phone Thanks @hackslash for this nice post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68750149&postcount=146 Upload to AFH: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73420609&postcount=315 You can also upload it on Google drive by following these steps: http://olivermarshall.net/how-to-upload-a-file-to-google-drive-from-the-command-line/ (thanks @Papdya for sharing this link) Nitin
Awesome guide. I'm sure it'll help out those who are trying hard to build their first ROM and get involved in building stuff. Just a suggestion though I find @akhilnarang script to be easy to setup server and it's just few commands away. It'd be nice if you include that Link : github.com/akhilnarang/scripts -ThugLife™✌

I suffered a lot to build my first ROM (you know that)... So thought to share this easy and fast way to build the ROM. I observed that initially we have to build many times due to errors (coming from lack of knowledge about building). This will reduce the time that is required for "build - error - fix- rebuild" cycle and learn ROM building quickly :fingers-crossed:
Nice You can add guide to add a disk, format and mount that too That was my main stuggle when I was trying to use it first
Good for our reading. Thanks

To make sure i understand, technically I could build roms on a chromebook with this guide? And the guide listed at the end, do we download all those things on our computer or on the cloud platform? Thanks!

Shreesha.Murthy said: Cloud platform m8 :wink: -ThugLife™✌ Click to expand... Click to collapse Thanks m8. I've never built before but feel comfortable with all the commands and everything. Just one last question, if I want to build for the Sprint LG G3 ls990, I'd have to use the device tree and everything device specific from CM for ls990 (or any other that has all device specific things) to get it to work on my ls990, correct? Also, thanks so much for the guide it looks really helpful

thanks for guiding.....:good::good::good: now i am try to make a rom for my device
@nitin.chobhe - Nice work!
What should be noted that in european countries it seems to only work for people who have a buisiness, at least as per Tos u can't choose and/or use as private person, but most of us have decent internet and power supply and a good enough pc. Just a note for those who may wonder.
Errors during kernel compilation
Hi, now I'm trying to compile kernel from official sources for Google Pixel 4a (sunfish). I've got some errors, so I need some help. UPD: I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 through WSL What I did: 1. cloned this repo 2. downloaded toolchains from this repo. I tried every version except 7.x. First, I tried tools from google's repo, but i've got errors like "there's no gcc" or "gcc is too old -- you are using 4.9 instead of 5.1", so I found other repo. 3. Installed this packages: sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip fontconfig ccache u-boot-tools Click to expand... Click to collapse 4. followed this xda guide. 5. of course, set CROSS_COMPILE and CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32 in toolchain folders, also set export ARCH=arm64 && export SUBARCH=arm64 6. run make clean make mrproper make sunfish_defconfig make -j$(nproc --all) 7. here is terminal output (pastebin). If you scroll, you can see, that there are errors during compilation process. And as I understand, process was stopped because of this errors. I hope someone could help me to find out where is the problem.
Hi, did you solve the problem? I encounter the same error recently, and I'm also curious about the solution Thanks a lot
