So I want to compile Cyanogenmod myself. But all the time I'm trying to set up my ubuntu it's not working. And often the threads are out of date. So could you tell me what I'll need in order to compile roms ? Toutorials would be nice. Of course I'm running a 64bit Ubuntu 12.04. If I schould use another distro just tell me.
Thank you in advance.

I've been wanting to start building from source so I could actually try to contribute some development time to a rom.
I've seen some of the build from source threads and even tried to use the wiki from one ROM's page. but the latest version of Ubuntu doesn't want to even get the Android SDK installed let alone get the latest code. So I was thinking that I would try to get this up and running on one of my windows boxes and was wondering if anyone else is building from a Windows machine.
If so is there a good resource or tutorial for getting started.
can anyone build a kernel which supports both http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226413 (ubuntu touch)and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032900 (unofficial cm10.1 by shufuking for mdpi)as dual boot os for lww.....
Ubuntu OS hasn't even seen a day in here yet and you are asking for a hybrid kernel...
Devs are focusing on building a stable ubuntu first
And such kernel will be too hard to make becoz of complete different framework and installation of ubuntu.

Hey guys,
i want to start compiling android from source, but i wonder which ubuntu version would do the best job for me? The ubuntu 12.04. LTS or the new 13.04.
I looked a bit around and most of the guides are written for 12.04. and also Google mentions on its developer site only 12.04. as beta supported.
Can i also use 13.04?
Thx for your answers!

Just starting to learn how to build ROMs from source using Ubuntu in VirtualBox, so bear with me, but is there a best version of Ubuntu to build ROMs? I've seen 14.04, 14.10, and 15.04 all thrown into the mix. Are they all more or less the same? Or is there a certain version better compatible with this type of stuff? Appreciate any help.

More or less, they wont make a difference depending on what you're building. Generally, AOSP and CM will build fine on any, but if you plan to use custom toolchains, the 15.04 is your best option because of updated libraries.
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 STL. I think the UI and functions are useful enough.
Decided to go with 14.04 and everything worked out great. Thanks for your help guys!
