So i havent worked on a kernel in a while and decided id start workin on one again. Well I recently updated to 12.04 lts and no changes to my old source I just did a test compile and it wont boot. Same toochain, source, ramdisk, etc.
Is there some sort of issue with compiling on 12.04?
guess im on my own on this one :/
Hi, I have faced the same problem with Linux Mint 13 (based off Ubuntu 12.04).
These commands make the kernel able to boot for me :
Code:
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-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Code:
[FONT=Times New Roman]sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so[/FONT]
The second one wasn't required for me but it is mentioned on android website.
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

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 The instructions at the aosp page are outdated at best, wrong at worst.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

and with 64 bit im running into other issues...i follow the directions and then stuff like file does not exist happens...stupid stuff...this should not be that hard or mysterious...got me to thinking a slip-streamed ubuntu install disk with everything one needs to set up the environment built right in would be awesome

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
thanks for reminding me!

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.
fatal: early EOF

error: Cannot fetch CyanogenMod/android_prebuilt
error: Exited sync due to fetch errors
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

I would suggest you to unhide files and folders, and delete all the folders except .repo folder and resync the repos > repo sync —force-broken —force-sync
It will take hardly 10-15 mins.
