How to build Android GingerBread on fresh Ubuntu 10.10
You can download all required packages to build Android and run it in emulator. Having these packages, bundled in an archive, is a life saver for those whose ubuntu is offline.
You can learn how to download Android source codes by following instructions on http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html and now, let me give some instructions for how to build Android and run emulator on ubuntu 10.10
- Download packages from here
- Open a terminal and go to directory where you download packages
- Run these command to extract packages and enter the directory
tar -zxf required_packages_to_build_gingerbread_on_10.10.tar.gz
cd archives
- To install all packages in these directory run this command
sudo dpkg -i -R ./
- To make g++ available under /usr/bin, create a symbolic link
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++_4.4 /usr/bin/g++
- Go to directory where you download Android sources
- If you are building on 32 bit, then follow the instructions on this step. If your system is 64 bit, you can pass this step
- Open the file build/core/main.mk and change this line
ifneq (64,$(findstring 64,$(build_arch)))
to
ifneq (i686,$(findstring i686,$(build_arch)))
- Open these files
external/clearsilver/cgi/Android.mk
external/clearsilver/util/Android.mk
external/clearsilver/java-jni/Android.mk
external/clearsilver/cs/Android.mk
change the lines below for each file
LOCAL_CFLAGS += -m64
LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -m64
to
LOCAL_CFLAGS += -m32
LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -m32
- Run these commands
source ./build/envsetup.sh
lunch 1
make
- It can take some time to build Android according to your system and lastly run the emulator
emulator
