[NEWBIES]How to build cm10.2 for this device - HTC Desire X

Building on Ubuntu 12.04 is currently only experimentally supported and is not guaranteed to work on branches other than master.
Installing required packages (Ubuntu 12.04)
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git 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 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
Installing Repo
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Code:
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Now 80% of your work is done.. Now its time for actual cm10.2 development
Code:
mkdir -p cm10.2
Code:
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Code:
cd cm10.2
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/androidarmv6/android.git -b cm-10.2
Code:
repo sync -jX
where X is any integer. If you have high speed connection then try something like -j16 or -j32
This will take long time because you are trying to download around 15gb
Once this is done go in your cm10.2 directory and do this
Code:
sh vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
Congrats your build machine is now ready.
Create a script named " compile.sh " inside cm10.2 folder and paste these contents inside it.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
repo sync -j32
.build/envsetup.sh
export USE_CCACHE=1
make clean
brunch protou
So to start compiling you have to do this command inside your cm10.2 folder
Code:
sh compile.sh
This will give you a basic build machine. I haven't added the device specific stuff yet. To do that:
Assuming you are in cm10.2 folder before each step.
1.Create device tree
Code:
mkdir -p /device/htc
Go in /device/htc
Code:
git clone https://github.com/prototype-U/android_device_htc_protou.git
Rename this folder to protou
Code:
git clone https://github.com/ProtouProject/android_device_htc_common.git
Rename this folder to common
2.Add vendors WIP
Code:
mkdir -p /vendor/htc/
Go in /vendor/htc/
Code:
git clone https://github.com/prototype-U/android_vendor_htc_protou.git
Rename this folder to protou
3.Add kernel sources
Code:
mkdir -p kernel/htc/
Go in /kernel/htc/protou
Code:
git clone -b cm10.2 https://github.com/prototype-U/android_kernel_htc_protou.git
Rename this folder to protou
And you are done! You can try compiling now..

I'll try this on Arch Linux in the evening and report back if it worked. Hopefully I'll find the right dependencies for the build as Arch Linux is a bit special with this. Anyway thanks for the guide!

Why?
repo init -u git://github.com/androidarmv6/android.git -b cm-10.2
we got ARMv7

Found a typo. It has to be "-b cm-10.2" in last clone command, then it works.

A guy from #cyanogenmod-dev told me that is much better to use terminal to start compiling then this script,he told me to do this :
cd cm10.2
export USE_CCACHE=1
source build/envsetup.sh
brunch protou
These are just recommendations.

It's actually mkdir -p device/htc. You made a typo,it will create a folder inside the system partition.
Then go into device/htc.

Code:
mkdir -p /vendor/htc/

Same here,it's mkdir -p vendor/htc .
Then go in vendor/htc.

mkdir -p kernel/htc/

The folder location is good here but you go :
cd kernel/htc instead of /kernel/htc/protou.
Also i had to install these to make it work. We need java,etc.
Code:
git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk pngcrush schedtool libxml2 libxml2-utils xsltproc
Code:
g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib
Don't take this offensively,i am just trying to help.

None taken. To be honest I have never tried setting up a build machine because my build server already had everything installed. And the steps I have mentioned above are not tested by me. I modify the core manifest to sync everything rather than doing it manually. Btw there is nothing wrong with the script, I made it just to reduce my manual work.

I ran into problems using the script, because I use zsh as my favorite shell. When the shell interpreter used in the script and the shell used for building is not the same, the sourcing won't work and it will give you an error like "brunch: command not found".

You have to make sure that you have synced all device related repos correctly. To make sure; goto the folder where you synced; goto device/htc and you should see protou and common folders.

Do it each time in a new shell. . /build/envsetup.sh

Instead of renaming we could do
git clone git://github.com/<user>/android_device_htc_protou.git protou
do the same for common
Just a suggestion (sames lot of time :silly: )
