Initializing a fresh Android Build Environment in Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit sucks, right? The instructions at the aosp page are outdated at best, wrong at worst. Near as I can tell, they try to have you install 2 JDKs, the first one not even being the correct link for Quantal Quetzal, and the second being OpenJDK. Which _might_ work. But iiiiiiii dunno about all that, I'd rather have Oracle's official stamp when it comes to building for Android.
Currently most of the guides are up to 12.04 LTS, which is fine and dandy, but being on the cutting edge is nice too. Plus, I don't think I've seen anyone aggregate the directions in this order, for the correct official JDK and everything just right for building happiness.
This guide applies to Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal 64 bit. It might work for 12.04 too, but *shrug*. Also, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION when to use "sudo" and when to not. It can make things funky if you do something as root that you shouldn't.
Much thanks goes out to Google, ProTekk, Canonical, and everyone else that I read a random paragraph here and snippet there.
First, let's set up the correct JDK.
Most of you, if not all, probably have some kind of wrong Java installed. Sad panda.
Let's get rid of that. Copy and paste this into a Terminal window:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
Banish the OpenJDK! If you must keep it, it's possible. But I'm not going to tell you how to do it. I don't want any chance of confusion or mistake.
Back to the Terminal. Copypasta the following:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
This will add the correct PPA to your system for updated builds of Java 6 JDK that are compatible with 12.10. No more unrecognized Java version errors! Yay! And it's self updating, so you don't have to redownload binaries everytime they release a new version.
Next, we actually need to install the package. More copypasta:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Follow the onscreen instructions. You have to Accept the Licensing Agreement or whatever. Hopefully no human centipede clauses. Once that is completed successfully, you will have to restart any open browsers with Java content for it to display correctly.
To make sure the correct version of Java is activated, run the following at the Terminal prompt:
Code:
java -version
You should see something like the following:
java version "1.6.0_37"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01, mixed mode)
Ok, back to a fresh Terminal prompt. Time for installing the guts to build stuff in Ubuntu:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python
And we wait. Don't worry, this isn't the crazy downloading part just yet.
When that is done, do this:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
That's probably it on the package side of things. Probably.
You guessed it, time for more Terminal. This really is the easiest way, seriously. And it's totally worth it when you're basking in the glory of a bunch of people on XDA.
The binary for repo will let you talk to git servers and download all that precious source code. That second part after the && allows it to be executable:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Use your favorite text editor to open ~/.bashrc
I like nano:
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
At the very bottom, add the following line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
Navigate to where you would like to store the Android source code. The directions below will make it in your home folder, but if you have limited space, you may want to create it somewhere else. Faster is better, ie SSD would be best, USB external is unusable. Here we go:
Code:
mkdir ~/android
Code:
cd ~/android
Now you're going to initialize the repo. Here's where you decide the flavor of Android you want to build for, ie AOKP, CyanogenMod, AOSP etc. The following, for the purposes of this tutorial, will initialize for AOKP:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb
Almost there. Last step, but it's a doozy. You're going to get the source. Prepare yourself, mere mortal. 10+ GB of downloading await you. Don't worry, it's automated. Go to sleep. Eat something. Perhaps you have heard of this new thing the kids are doing called "going outside"? Yeah, I didn't think so. Me neither. Hey everyone, it's a terminal:
Code:
repo sync
Check back periodically every hour or so. It really all depends on how fast your internet connection is.
That should be everything. Now you're ready to build Android the right way. Luck! If this guide helped you, please say Thanks.

One of the straightforward guides I've ever seen. It's quick, easy and problem-free
Also how about your device config?
And with make use: make -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`
64-bits
Well to anyone else going through this make sure you get the 64-bit ISO, not the default 32 bit one off the desktop page.
so i am trying to do this
problem is right after installing java when i go to install all the stuff needed to build stuff...alot of the packages are not available...starting with ia32-libs and alot of the other libs
on ubuntu 12.10 32bit on a vm

Those libs are so 64bit can run 32bit tools. From what I'm getting, a 64bit system is required to compile JB. I'm not entirely convinced yet, more like hoping though

dell is working on a github project for something similar to this. users will *supposedly* be able to easily replicate build environments according to a profile-type system.
anyway, if you want to PM me i can try to help you out. i understand the frustration, it's why i wrote the guide &&
good luck everyone!

Don't use make! Use mka! I forgot to add this part as I mentioned it in another post somewhere on xda &&
Ok so, the reasoning is, mka is a streamlined version of make that will utilize a job handler automatically to speed up your build process.
So, your build string becomes
Code:
source build/ensetup.sh && lunch yourdevicenamehere && mka yourdevicenamehere
Furthermore, if you're building for Cyanogenmod or a cm-based ROM, use brunch. It does optimizations after the build process with a tool called "squisher" that is not normally called for with lunch/mka. Thusly,
Code:
source build/ensetup.sh && brunch yourdevicehere
If you want to read about why, I recommend checking out this dude over here

Hi. I'm getting repo fetch errors when trying to sync the CM10.1 source code. I originally used the "repo sync -j16" command but I got the error and switched to just "repo sync". That didn't work though as I got the same error, which is
Code:
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
remote: Counting objects: 20804, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (6058/6058), done.
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.

Is the repo just having a bad day or is it a problem on my end? Thanks.
Try
repo sync -j1
Slower but stable
Or the repos are updated right now that would explain that behavior

Initializing a fresh Android Build Environment in Ubuntu 13.10 sucks, right? The instructions at the AOSP page are outdated and inaccurate. Near as I can tell, they try to have you install 2 JDKs, the first one not even being the correct link for Saucy Salamander, and the second being OpenJDK. Which might work. But I dunno about all that, I'd rather have Oracle's official stamp when it comes to building for Android.
Currently most of the guides are up to 12.04 LTS, which is fine and dandy, but being on the cutting edge is nice too.
This guide applies to all variations of Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander 64 bit. Do not use the 32 Bit version. Also, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION when to use "sudo" and when to not. It can make things funky if you do something as root that you shouldn't.
Much thanks goes out to Google, ProTekk, Canonical, and everyone else that I read a random paragraph here and snippet there.

Next, we actually need to install the package. More copy-paste:

As far as I know android will only build properly with the java 6 the op says to use... I've never tried anything else but I've heard there are issues for trying to build using anything else
(Feel free to try though, it's easy enough to remove other java versions and go back to java 6)
Edit: it is possible to build with java 7 but you have to use workarounds to fix different issues

Yes I do.
I'm trying to install the 64 bit version 13.10 onto my laptop via Virtualbox. I keep getting the following error message when trying to boot up the iso so that I can install it. As far as I know, I the core i5 processor (3210m) is able to support 64bit software. If I am wrong, or there is something that I am possibly doing wrong, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

TLDR; if you don't care about an explanation of what your system is doing,
click here to check out XDA Senior Member Aaahh's sweet two-step method based on my guide below.
Otherwise, keep reading!
With a new version of Ubuntu comes an update to my world-famous guide for setting up a build environment to compile Android ROMs. 14.04 Trusty Tahr is the next Long Term Support edition of the popular Linux distro. The aim of this guide is to simplify the configuration process for you.
Follow the directions step-by-step. All you have to do is copy and paste the code sections in order and you will be up and running in no time!
This guide applies to all variations of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr 64 bit. Do not use the 32 Bit version.
Also, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION when to use "sudo" and when to not. It can make things funky if you do something as root that you shouldn't.
Much thanks goes out to Google, ProTekk, Canonical, and everyone else that I read a random paragraph here and snippet there.
Ready to begin? Ok.
1) Unless it's a completely fresh Ubuntu installation, many of you may have the wrong version of Java installed. Let's fix that first.
The command below makes sure you're starting with a clean slate. Copy and paste it into a terminal (command prompt) window:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
If necessary, follow the on-screen instructions to remove any previous versions. Otherwise, move on to the next step.
It's time to install Java, one of the core pieces for compiling Android ROMs. Depending on which version of Android you are building, you will need the corresponding version of the Java Development Kit.
*** IF YOU ARE BUILDING ANDROID GINGERBREAD THRU KITKAT (2.3 - 4.4.x) USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR JDK 6***
2) Copy and paste the following into the terminal:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
This will add the correct PPA to your system for updated builds of Java 6 JDK that are compatible with 14.04.
3) Now you need to install the package. More copy-paste:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Follow the on-screen instructions. You must accept the Licensing Agreement to complete the install.
Press Enter to acknowledge the "OK", then tab over to "Yes" and press Enter again to accept the license. The installation will continue automatically.
4) Let's make sure the correct version of Java is activated. Run the terminal command:
Code:
java -version
You should see something like:
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)
Continue to Step 5.
*** IF YOU ARE BUILDING ANDROID L AND ABOVE (CURRENT AOSP MASTER BRANCH) USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR JDK 7***
2) Install Open-JDK 7 for the necessary Java development tools.
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Follow the on-screen instructions.
3) Let's make sure the correct version of Java is activated. Run the terminal command:
Code:
java -version
You should see something like OpenJDK 1.7
Continue on to Step 5.
5) Back to a fresh terminal prompt. Install the main build tools with this command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git ccache automake lzop bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 g++-multilib python-networkx libxml2-utils bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool dpkg-dev liblz4-tool make optipng
That's it on the package side of things. You guessed it, time for more Terminal. This really is the easiest way, I promise.
6) A program called "repo" lets you communicate with git servers and download all that precious source code. The next command will install it:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
7) Use your favorite text editor to open ~/.bashrc - I like nano:
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
8) At the very bottom (use the Page Down key) paste this code to a new (empty) line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
9) Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
10) In the terminal, navigate to where you would like to download the Android source code. The commands below will make it in your home folder, but if you have limited space you may want to create it somewhere else. Faster is better, i.e. SSD would be best, USB external is basically unusable. Here we go:
Code:
mkdir ~/android
cd ~/android
11) Now you're going to initialize the repo. This is where you decide the flavor of Android you want to build, i.e. AOKP, CyanogenMod, AOSP etc.
For the purposes of the tutorial, here's the command for AOKP KitKat:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b kitkat
12) Almost there. Last step, it's a doozy. Time to get the source. Prepare yourself, 10+ GB of downloading await.
Don't worry, it's automated. Go to sleep. Eat something. Perhaps you have heard of this new thing the kids are doing called "going outside"? Yeah, I didn't think so. Me neither.
Hey everyone, it's the final terminal command:
Code:
repo sync
Check back periodically every hour or so. It all depends on how fast your connection is.
That should be everything. Now you're ready to build Android the right way. Good luck!
For those of you that want to build Lollipop (which requires JDK 1.7) but already have your system configured for GB-KK (JDK 1.6), here's the easiest way to update your system:
First, install OpenJDK7. At a terminal:
Code:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Once that completes, you simply need to tell Linux to use the newer version of Java and Java Compiler to render content. Run the following two commands separately, making the correct selection for OpenJDK 1.7 both times when prompted. Again in the terminal:
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
That should do the trick! Have fun everyone..
Feel free to buy me a coconut water (donate) if you like my work. It would be greatly appreciated!

ppa:webupd8team/java no longer supports oracle-java6-installer.....
at least when I tried it on ubuntu 14.04 a week ago......
had to resort to the old fashion way of installing jdk from older oracle instructions...!!!
UPDATED:
----------------
seems at the time we tested(feb.4) it did not work but since then has been fixed...
at the time the OP posted it had been corrected, feb.7

Respectfully, you're wrong.
Yesterday I tried the instructions (as I was writing the guide) with the latest Alpha of Xubuntu 14.04 and it works fine.
It appears they've updated the PPA within the last few days to support Trusty Tahr.
I wouldn't publish a guide that I hadn't verified myself as working, unlike some people.
well that implies they have fixed it...because on feb 4 we setup Ubuntu 14.04 and had to work around the issue
because it did not work.....
so did it work well for you a week ago???
maybe because of the different systems???
will give it a try again in the next couple of weeks if we get time...either way it's good to know
it has been corrected....
and BTW we also installed openjava 7, switched between the two and
build our source without issues.....
source was android-x86 kitkat
got a chance to check this am and it was FIXED YESTERDAY it appears.....
https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java
https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+related-packages
and as stated did not work a week ago....feb.-1 thru feb 4
thanks for the updates...

That's great, but your first post is still wrong. You should edit it so other users aren't confused.
oracle-java6-installer works perfectly fine in Ubuntu 14.04 at the time of the original posting.
I used 14.04 early and i had to install some extra packages because things wouldn't work properly, just a heads up incase anyone is having problems...
I've build android 4.2 and 4.4 using openjdk 1.7, without any changes, using ubuntu 13.10 (some time ago in aosp there has been added patches which fixes build under java 7, of course it's not for all android versions).
This guide really complicates things. Most of this could be put into a single one-liner.
I appreciate a detailed, step-by-step guide like this. In my experience here, I've found that far too many arrogant developers hold the opinion that since they had to find things out the hard way, everyone else should have to as well. Finding developers that actually want to help people out, rather than snub them with snot-nosed attitudes, is always refreshing, so thanks to the OP for the guide!

Do you want me to post a second guide mid-thread? I'm just suggesting combining steps. Its a lengthy read and it could be much shorter.

Or start your own thread?
If you wanna post it in here as a reply, go ahead. When I can verify that it works I'd be happy to update the OP and credit you.
Also I've released Builduntu, a ready-to-go virtual machine. The link is at the top of the OP. No matter what system you've got (OSX, Win, other linux) you can import the machine into VirtualBox or VMWare and have a working development environment in minutes.
Now that I've built a completely new, modern machine, I'm going to repurpose my old system (which is still perfectly usable, with 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core2 Quad) as an Android development platform. I plan to install Linux Mint 14 on it, as I despise Unity with the blazing white heat of a million suns. I'll give your steps a try on it and post here how successful they were; if anything needs tweaking for Mint, you can add them to your instructions (it shouldn't, as Mint is based on Ubuntu).

Here is a two liner,
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\* && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer && sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg ccache lzop flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python && sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so && mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis....downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo && sudo nano ~/.bashrc
Copy and paste
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Code:
source ~/.bashrc && mkdir ~/android && cd ~/android
I purposly left out the repo init and sync, that way you can pick what source to init.

Hello. Today i want to show you how to compile CM 10.2 using TeamHackLG Device tree.
I using Ubuntu 12.04 x64
First, perpare your ubuntu
Open Terminal And:
Install JDK
HTML:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
Install python and GIt
HTML:
sudo apt-get install python
sudo apt-get install git-core
Install required packages.
HTML:
sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev libreadline6-dev libgl1-mesa-glx \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev
HTML:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Then : get source
HTML:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
create workspace
HTML:
mkdir cm102_e610
cd cm102_e610
get CM source
HTML:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2
Put your Name and email. then
HTML:
repo sync
When you get CM Source , get files required for our device
HTML:
curl --create-dirs -L -o .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml -O -L https://raw.github.com/TeamHackLG/local_manifest/cm-10.2/local_manifest.xml
and
HTML:
repo sync
again and enter this line in your terminal
HTML:
cd cm102_e610/system/vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
After sync, load "lunch combo"
HTML:
source build/envsetup.sh
HTML:
lunch
choose cm_e610-userdebug or cm_e610-eng
Then press
HTML:
make -j2
After make do
HTML:
make otapackage
and you get flash zip Cm 10.2 for LG l5.
Happy Build
