Following many of the excellent CM building guides on xda as well as CM's wiki, I was able to quite smoothly get my virtual Ubuntu to begin building ICS. However, after about 5 minutes of it happily churning out binaries, the build stops complaining about being unable to recognize out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/mksnapshot_intermediates/src/builtins.o while compiling V8. I've googled around but have not been able to find this particular error; also given my limited understaning of the build system on Linux am unable to diagnose this rather cryptic situation.
I've tried removing the entire out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/mksnapshot_intermediates/ folder as well as starting afresh (after make clean) but the error does not go away. From what I've grepped, the recipe for builtins.o is inside builtins.P but not sure if this is where something goes meh.
I'm attaching my current build log as well as the builtins.P file. Will be grateful for any ideas on how to troubleshoot this further.
EDIT: building for Galaxy S i9000, but to me this seems like a more general build error and hence posting here. If you think this thread belongs elsewhere, please do let me know.

Hiya I am interested in compiling my own version of the android project from the latest sources for Hero but I am having a little bit of trouble, I have been attempting to follow this guide android.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=301857&view=findpost&p=1179830 but it does not seem to make a lot of sense to me. For instance there is no .repo/local_manifest.xml file only a .repo/manifest.xml file and editing this as outlined gives me an error. Could somebody point me in the direction of a fairly noob friendly guide for this kind of stuff, thanks a lot.

P.S Sorry about the dodgy link, newbie restrictions prevented me from formatting it properly
this should be in Q&A Section not development really. But im looking for this too! installed ubuntu using Wubi set up JDK,SDK testsign etc and repo but god knows how to do it all! I only want to port cyanogenROM
follow this: http://source.android.com/download
when you got everything synced you can basically type "make" and watch it compile for a while. i managed to do it with just above zero knowledge about compiling.
if you want the cyanogen sources try it with the according repo. i have zero idea about vendor overlays, as i needed to compile only the recovery (watched two hours of eclair compiling, then was told i need cupcake sources and can compile the recovery only...)
Yes I am aware of how to get sources and how to compile them, I am fairly well versed in linux. But I do not know how I can compile it into a usable rom for hero.
the result of the compiling are image files that can be flashed to the phone: system.img etc. you can extract them using unyaffs.
I ran the make command, but i really have no idea what to do from there. What is the end result of doing the first make command? Im fairly sure that it is not a single .img file you can flash onto your phone. You need to make a kernal if i am correct(anyone know how to do this?)
the result of the compiling is at least a system.img. if you compiled it correctly you can flash that to /system partition. further you need a boot.img, which also contains the kernel. the the rom-cooking howto in dev section how to create one, or just get one from a working rom.
fwiw, the .img files are in out/target/product/generic/ (although there probably is a device specific directory in there if you handled the vendor overlay correctly. <- this is just a guess, i have actually no idea).
Wanna link us to that how to thread? I cant seem to find a complete one with working links.

Hey Guys,
i don't know, if someone other than me have had this error in the past. I searched on Google and on XDA, but I didn't found something compairing to my Error.
I'm new to kernel compiling, so I don't have some information...please don't hit me that I'm doind something like this as my first time ! I want to learn how a kernel is going to be compiled. And as extra kick, it would be great if i can make my custom kernel for just my needs on my SE 2010 X10 Mini Pro
I read slade_87's Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382917
I did all, setting up the Environment. Because of my slow Internet Connection, iI don't want to download the whole Android source, so I'm using this Toolchain https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/subscription3053. I'm doind all in a virtual Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit in Vmware player 3.1.4 build-385536.
I copied the standart config from /arch/arm/configs/semc_mimmi/defconfig to .config, like in the Turtorial. I also made "ARCH=arm make menuconfig", no Problem. I didn't change anythine, because I thought I could make a mistake in the config, i just wanted to build the original source, to see if I can get this to work for some Experiments.
The Problem is when I'm executing the compile-command itself. When I'm entering "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/android/kernel/arm-cc/bin/arm-none-eabi- make". After some lines....2-5 seconds or so.... i keep getting the error on the last few line in my attachment. I tried the cyanogenmod-kernel source, diffrent kernel source file from SE but i keep getting the same error, not on the same line, but always in linux/include/pagemap.h
I'm not so good in C, I'm some kind of BASIC junkie so i'm having quite a horror with C. But i thought, the Devs here, slade_87/doxian/D4rKn3sSyS/paul-xxx, don't have such simple errors, or they do know a way, how to get through this.
Could someone look at this ? Do you know a way of direction, where the error is coming ? I think, because it's always the same with different kernel source files, the errors on my side... but i can't think of any....
Thanks in Advance,
Lost Prophet
I have been searching and searching much to no avail. Here is my dilemma: I'm interested in android development and have installed ubuntu Linux os along with other requirements outlined on the android source website but I'm having the most difficult time getting the git program to install. I constantly receive error after error. Python, jdk6, and make have all installed with no problems. Can someone point me in the direction of a step by step procedure for completely setting up my computer with the required programs necessary for android development. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
google developer page clearly says which packages to install and what to do, you can search here at xda too.
if you have any problem try:
remove ~/bin directory
remake it
redownload repo script
add PATH variable
chmod it for executable
remove workdir
remake workdir
cd to your working directory
init your source
linux is not about make it and it should work you need a lot of things to get by yourself and learn to pass through problems. personally I was noob too, and still think I am, but linux really learns thinking in pc usage, that's not windows "if you can't do anything, that's impossible", you just have to find other way
it will be hard to start without linux knowledge, try using it first for a month then start development. you'll also need some xml and makefiles editing to know.
what you'll need
if you have cyanogenmod sources it's easy, you probably have everything that's needed,
if you use google's, then it's harder, because you miss drivers, device tree can fit from cm but you need to edit it.
you can find usb connection setup painful with editing udev rules, but with some practise it will be easy.
and please, for everyone to know: don't PM me or ask for help, I'm not a support, just saying here something that could help and I'm not pro .
Hey XDA, no time no speak,
After writing a story about it, I went and purchased the HiSense Sero 7 Pro (I recommend you go buy one), and I decided to do a source build of CM10.1 on it. There is a problem though, the manufacturer is not responding to my request of releasing the kernel source (even though I know that GPL requires it), so an issue there obviously.
Moving on though, I decided to go ahead and sync the repo. The only problem is, I am at the part where I need to make the local_manifest.xml (which I have), but because I don't have kernel source, my directories on github (located here) are empty.
I think it's worth noting that I am on an OS X system (only got 500GB, gave 75 of it to a windows partition and its already slow, couldn't imagine fighting with a Ubuntu partition), and I read the CM wiki top to bottom, spent hours upon hours googling, and no luck. Another issue I have is that when running this command:
$ ./build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh samsung i9300 ~/Desktop/i9300boot.img
I get errors with it questioning whether or not my environment is correctly set up. I also try saw that it said "Create extract-files.sh and setup-makefiles.sh scripts" but I cant run the scripts because they arent available for mac! Sooo im in a rock and a hard place man, any assistance??
Im very much welcome to giving any additional information that you may need Thanks in advance for help

okay so for those of you who ever run into this issue this is how to bypass unforunatly after flashing i still run into errors on ./flash.sh fails to erase userdata but well start from the top and leave that for others since im almost positive that error is due to me not doing something correct
okay so basically its pretty simple go too the link and copy openc.xml at the link below and attached for easy access
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8429932
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN_C
then follow the directions listed but to keep it simple for those of you whom dont want to look to far
Clean up the B2G directory, removing the unneeded directories:
rm -rf objdir-gecko/ out/ backup-flame/
Now configure Firefox OS with the following command: (Note that the path cannot contain spaces, otherwise it won't work).
./config.sh flame /PATH/TO/openc.xml
You can then build the Gecko component and Flash it to your phone using the following:
./build.sh gecko
./flash.sh gecko
You should now upgrade Gaia as well, so the upgraded version of Gecko works with the version of Gaia on the device:
cd gaia
make reset-gaia
and thats how i fixxed it unfortunatly like i said when i got to ./flash.sh the whole build it fails at user data
but once again pretty sure thats only me if anyone has information on this let me know please
all credit from this goes to mozilla i just decided to post it in an easy location for everyone who runs into this
thank you mozilla developers
