Problem sloved!
Hi!
I am trying to build cm7 from source for my acer liquid. But about 5 min after starting the build I run into this error:
Install: out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img
host Executable: sqlite3 (out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/sqlite3_intermediates/sqlite3)
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/sqlite3_intermediates/sqlite3] Error 1
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on my Laptop with an AMD E-350 processor.
All help welcome,
Alex

Make sure you have all the needed packages to build.
yea, install the required packages for 12.04 here
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!
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 \

libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Here is the printout of result.

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.

Heloo every one !
i just have format my win7 & install win8 64bit ,
i face problem with my kitchen !!
it was installed correctly before i format my pc !
but now it giving me this error after i press ./menu !!
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]Welcome to dsixda's Android Kitchen
Please wait ..
Error: The application 'gcc' is not installed - the kitchen
will not function properly without it. Ensure you did
not miss a step during installation! Refer to the
Android Kitchen FAQ at xda-developers.com for further
assistance.
** PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!! **[/COLOR]
i tried to uninstall it and install fresh version but still i have this issue ?!
is my win8 64bit related to this issue ?
am working now to dev. a new rom but i face this problem and i need to fix my kitchen !?
i use some solution :
- re-install java sdk
-re-install gcc 3 times !
- fixing compatibility thing !
-all packages already checked & installed
-Also i move it to another part of hard desk !
i Already search google =D
Try this...just in case you're missing anything. That is everything you could need to build from source...therefore should be good enough for kitchen
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 \

Here Sir. This is the best and absolutely most functional Kitchen ever built to this point that's currently compatible to more devices than any others ever before this one built. This should take care of your needs and the Developer stays on the projects to improve functions and improve compatibility across the board. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed.

Do you have the following packages installed:

(source: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_bravo)
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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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:
sudo –s
Now you are ready to install the required packages to build the ROM from source. You can follow this nice guide created by @jackeagle to start:

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

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

Sure buddy! I'll have a look an include them.
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!

As @Shreesha.Murthy says, you do everything on Google cloud. That's the whole point of writing this thread

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

Yes, you can use the device trees from CM. Do it... :fingers-crossed:

Well, those guides are pretty outdated for now. Scroll up or see the 3rd post where I've mentioned about the script. It's automatic and saves you from headache

Yeah, you just need to sync the ROM source you're trying to build+ device trees and make it compatible for the ROM and you're good to go

This has been answered in that thread. If you see closely, you'll find out that the packages that are showing error have :i386 in their name. Remove :i386 from their names and you should be good to go.
Or use the scripts that @Shreesha.Murthy has linked

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.
