This may not be the best forum to ask this question, but considering that I'm new to XDA and don't have enough points to post in the development forum, this seemed like the next best place. I'm looking to get into CM development for the Honor 5X and I'm trying to find documentation for building CM (XDA version?) for the wonderful Honor 5X. I was able to find this link: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_kiwi documenting the build process. But, it seemed like a general kiwi build for the phone. I say general because I found this thread in the development section that mentions these three git development repos:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...ce_huawei_kiwi
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...el_huawei_kiwi
https://github.com/crpalmer/proprietary_vendor_huawei
but when I checked out the code and sync'd the repo, I wasn't sure if it sync'd those repos for me.
So, is there a guide documenting how to build or get started with XDA CM development for the Honor 5X?
Thanks in advance.

I applaud your efforts, But we really already have a good working CM13 team
maybe you should consider picking up one of the many other CM13 based Roms and taking over development of those
the list is quite extensive,but you can begin your quest here

not the correct thread but to your question- update your phone to stock marshmallow 1st and then try CM13. or else you can flash the CM13 version but older builds than 20th July but that will be without FP. if you want Fp, update your phone to stock marshmallow 1st and then flash any of the CM13 or other marshmallow based ROMs.

Check the honor 5X repository thread in guide section. And download stock recovery and appropriate marshmallow package for your phone. And then follow my guide for update. You can find my thread easily.
Or you can flash 18/19th july cm13 build but fp wont work. Try old build and see if u r able to update cm13.

Sorry for the delay...I got caught up with family stuff at home. But, thank you clsA for this information. I will take a look and see how I can contribute.
Since many have pm & ask me how to build ROMs for kiwi & i have to repeat myself every time, as might as well once & for all, i post the info here...
Before you can build any other custom ROMs, you'll have to learn to build cm-13.0 referring to this Official Guide then you can move on to other ROMs, Thanks to crpalmer & BadDaemon... :good:
If you're a first time ROM Cooker then i strongly recommends BBQLinux bcos you don't have to setup the build environment, everything is already built-in, my guide here, Thanks to my Master Shifu codeworkx... :good:
There are only two types of Android sources, AOSP & CAF, all custom ROMs will use either one of them including cm... You'll only need two folders AOSP & CAF, syncing all custom ROMs to these same folder will cut the syncing time more than half ! AOSP manifest will have this line while CAF manifest will have this so sync it to the correct folder.
In actual fact, it doesn't really matter, both sources have different file names & you can actually sync it to the same folder but its best practice to have two separate folders for two separate sources.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_huawei_kiwi" path="device/huawei/kiwi" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_external_sony_boringssl-compat" path="external/sony/boringssl-compat" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_external_stlport" path="external/stlport" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_huawei_kiwi" path="kernel/huawei/kiwi" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_huawei" path="vendor/huawei" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0" />
</manifest>
kiwi.xml
To sync the sources, Eg. cm-13.0
Code:
mkdir -p ~/AOSP/.repo/local_manifests
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
Copy [COLOR="Blue"]kiwi.xml[/COLOR] to ~/AOSP/.repo/local_manifests
repo sync -fc[COLOR="blue"]j64[/COLOR] --force-sync [COLOR="blue"]<= Depending on your ISP, this will use parallel threads & cut the downloading time by half. If error then lower it[/COLOR]
To build AOSP based custom ROMs, this Eg. cm-13.0, open a Terminal, copy the below & paste to it
Code:
cd ~/AOSP
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
export USE_CCACHE=1
export LC_ALL=C
source build/envsetup.sh
brunch kiwi 2>&1 | tee ~/AOSP/[COLOR="blue"]compile.log[/COLOR]
If there is any build error then refer to the compile.log & start goggling for the fix !
For any other custom ROMs, refer to the guide at their manifest, Eg. below Krexus-CAF
Code:
mkdir -p ~/CAF/.repo/local_manifests
Copy [COLOR="blue"]kiwi.xml[/COLOR] to ~/CAF/.repo/local_manifests [COLOR="Blue"]<= Remove qcom/common as Krexus-CAF already [URL="https://github.com/krexus-caf/manifest/blob/caf/default.xml#L101"]have it[/URL][/COLOR]
cd ~/CAF
repo init -u [url]https://github.com/krexus-caf/manifest.git[/url] -b caf
repo sync -fcj68 --force-sync --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
To build it, you can also create a script as below, name it krexus then simply sh krexus will start the build...
Code:
cd ~/CAF
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
export USE_CCACHE=1
export LC_ALL=C
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch [COLOR="blue"]krexus[/COLOR]_kiwi-userdebug
make -j4 otapackage 2>&1 | tee ~/CAF/compile.log
Every ROM mostly will have its own vendor tree formatting, for Krexus-CAF, you'll need to create a new krexus_kiwi.mk so refer to the example there on how to create one. Eg. For AOKP, AICP, PAC-ROM
Building other Custom ROMs
Before you start syncing other custom ROMs, delete everything at AOSP or CAF folder except the hidden source code .repo folder ( To display hidden folders press Ctrl + H )
Sometimes, syncing new ROMs will fail then you'll have to delete all the other files & folders at the hidden .repo folder EXCEPT the project-objects & projects folder, these two are the actual source code folder, a repo init & repo sync then all the files will be extracted out again.
If you've got a very large HDD & would like to build multiple ROMs all at the same time then you'll only need to copy the hidden .repo folder over, Eg. Copy ~/AOSP/.repo to ~/AOKP, ~/AICP, ~/PAC-ROM & syncing it will only take awhile since all are using the exact same google source...
Any other thing that i might have left out then google it yourself...
Good Luck & Happy Building !
Additional Tips
All custom ROMs manifest contains sources to build for almost all Android devices available while some of those sources are not needed for our 5x you can safely remove them by specifying at above kiwi.xml & it will save you not to download of more than 1GB of unused projects !

Above are hardware not used on 5x, removing it will save you hours of downloading of these unused projects. ROMs are still buildable with these remove projects, there are still many projects not used that can be safely removed but i don't intend to waste my time on identifying every single one of them... :laugh:
Update 09 Sept 2016 - Everyone can also build their own ROMs
Old PC or laptop ? Slow internet connection, not a problem, gopinaidu77 has shared with me that he is able to build a ROM in just 25 minutes, rebuild a ROM after make clobber took just only 7 minutes ! Syncing any ROM source will only take 3 - 5 mins at 40 Mbps download speed !
Completely FOC, more info refer to here... :good:
Thanks mate. Let me start building the environment and will start this.

kiwi.xml
To sync the sources, Eg. cm-13.0
Code:
mkdir -p ~/AOSP/.repo/local_manifests
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
Copy [COLOR="Blue"]kiwi.xml[/COLOR] to ~/AOSP/.repo/local_manifests
repo sync -fc[COLOR="blue"]j64[/COLOR] --force-sync [COLOR="blue"]<= Depending on your ISP, this will use parallel threads & cut the downloading time by half. If error then lower it[/COLOR]
To build AOSP based custom ROMs, this Eg. cm-13.0, open a Terminal, copy the below & paste to it
Code:
cd ~/AOSP
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
export USE_CCACHE=1
export LC_ALL=C
source build/envsetup.sh
brunch kiwi 2>&1 | tee ~/AOSP/[COLOR="blue"]compile.log[/COLOR]
If there is any build error then refer to the compile.log & start goggling for the fix !
For any other custom ROMs, refer to the guide at their manifest, Eg. below Krexus-CAF
Code:
mkdir -p ~/CAF/.repo/local_manifests
Copy [COLOR="blue"]kiwi.xml[/COLOR] to ~/CAF/.repo/local_manifests [COLOR="Blue"]<= Remove qcom/common as Krexus-CAF already [URL="https://github.com/krexus-caf/manifest/blob/caf/default.xml#L101"]have it[/URL][/COLOR]
cd ~/CAF
repo init -u [url]https://github.com/krexus-caf/manifest.git[/url] -b caf
repo sync -fcj68 --force-sync --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
To build it, you can also create a script as below, name it krexus then simply sh krexus will start the build...
Code:
cd ~/CAF
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
export USE_CCACHE=1
export LC_ALL=C
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch [COLOR="blue"]krexus[/COLOR]_kiwi-userdebug
make -j4 otapackage 2>&1 | tee ~/CAF/compile.log
Every ROM mostly will have its own vendor tree formatting, for Krexus-CAF, you'll need to create a new krexus_kiwi.mk so refer to the example there on how to create one. Eg. For AOKP, AICP, PAC-ROM
Building other Custom ROMs
Before you start syncing other custom ROMs, delete everything at AOSP or CAF folder except the hidden source code .repo folder ( To display hidden folders press Ctrl + H )
Sometimes, syncing new ROMs will fail then you'll have to delete all the other files & folders at the hidden .repo folder EXCEPT the project-objects & projects folder, these two are the actual source code folder, a repo init & repo sync then all the files will be extracted out again.
If you've got a very large HDD & would like to build multiple ROMs all at the same time then you'll only need to copy the hidden .repo folder over, Eg. Copy ~/AOSP/.repo to ~/AOKP, ~/AICP, ~/PAC-ROM & syncing it will only take awhile since all are using the exact same google source...
Any other thing that i might have left out then google it yourself...
Good Luck & Happy Building !
Additional Tips
All custom ROMs manifest contains sources to build for almost all Android devices available while some of those sources are not needed for our 5x you can safely remove them by specifying at above kiwi.xml & it will save you not to download of more than 1GB of unused projects !

Above are hardware not used on 5x, removing it will save you hours of downloading of these unused projects. ROMs are still buildable with these remove projects, there are still many projects not used that can be safely removed but i don't intend to waste my time on identifying every single one of them... :laugh:
Update 09 Sept 2016 - Everyone can also build their own ROMs
Old PC or laptop ? Slow internet connection, not a problem, gopinaidu77 has shared with me that he is able to build a ROM in just 25 minutes, rebuild a ROM after make clobber took just only 7 minutes ! Syncing any ROM source will only take 3 - 5 mins at 40 Mbps download speed !
Completely FOC, more info refer to here... :good:

Hi yuweng,
Thanks for such a thread. This is almost all knowledge in one place.
I am thinking of compiling my own ROM. Going through your thread.
Will be installing BBQ Linux very soon.
Good luck
Hi,
I'm trying to build CyanogenMod 14.1 following this guide (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_oneplus2) and I've got stuck.
Specifically I've got stuck when executing "breakfast oneplus2".
This is the output of the command:
Code:
including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh
Looking for dependencies
Can't find toolchain for unknown architecture: /home/ghmap/android/cm "$v" userdebug
"$v" userdebug
I've installed the android development packages. So I think that I should have the required toolchain... But I don't really know which toolchaing it's talking about.
I haven't setup my local_manifests and I think that this could be the problem. I've no idea about how-to setup it for cyanogenmod 14.1. Any idea?
Currently it's looking like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_oneplus_oneplus2" path="device/oneplus/oneplus2" remote="github" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_oppo_common" path="device/oppo/common" remote="github" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8994" path="kernel/oneplus/msm8994" remote="github" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" />
</manifest>
Thanks
Idk if this will fix but idk if cyanogenmod repo is updated for 14.1 for the oneplus 2 try changing the vendor device kernel ect to seraph08's or someone else doing 14.1 builds it may fix it but may save you a problem down the line too
I changed my manifest to use Seraph08 repos and I get the same result.
This is how it looks like right now my local manifest:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="Seraph08/android_device_oneplus_oneplus2" path="device/oneplus/oneplus2" remote="github" />
<project name="Seraph08/android_device_oppo_common" path="device/oppo/common" remote="github" />
<project name="Seraph08/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8994" path="kernel/oneplus/msm8994" remote="github" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_oneplus" path="vendor/oneplus" remote="github" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_qcom_binaries" path="vendor/qcom/binaries" remote="github" />
</manifest>
And the result of "breakfast oneplus2":
Code:
including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh
Looking for dependencies
Can't find toolchain for unknown architecture: /home/ghmap/android/cm "$v" userdebug
"$v" userdebug
It looks like I'm missing some config...
Quick question you did run
source build/envsetup.sh
While in the root directory of the code right?
Yes, I did. This is the output:
Code:
including device/generic/mini-emulator-arm64/vendorsetup.sh
including device/generic/mini-emulator-armv7-a-neon/vendorsetup.sh
including device/generic/mini-emulator-x86_64/vendorsetup.sh
including device/generic/mini-emulator-x86/vendorsetup.sh
including device/oneplus/oneplus2/vendorsetup.sh
including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh

Maybe you have in your ~/.bashrc / ~/.zshrc a variable called 'ARCH' which is equal to "$v$" ?

No, I haven't.
Finally I've found a workaround. Using Bash instead of Zsh...
Thanks to everybody for the help!

Yes, zsh is known to cause problems for building. I'm also sure that in the usual guides bash is used, not zsh. I ran into similar problems while building with zsh and did it the same way you did.
