On-device C#compiler. Help me build it properly...

Hello xDevs
I'm trying these days to port the DotGNU .Net compiler toolchain for the pocket-pc. There was a port in the past (that even has an IDE! Pocket C#), but seems quite outdated and probably abandoned. I want to revive the effort.
Up to now, I have been successful in building (using CeGCC) and running the c# compiler on the Kaiser, but does not seem to be able to compile even the simplest program. So I'm calling out for help from this great community
The compiled toolchain can be downloaded from my site here: http://hypest.org/pnet_0.8.0_wince.zip
Limitations:
Problematic usage through the PocketC# IDE, so you have to use it directly from a command shell. (grab it from here). Even through the console, the usage is "unconfortable" as the compiler spawns a new process and its output is only shown momentarily.
See post #2 for a walkthrough of how to build the toolchain on an Ubuntu 7.10 linux machine (so to reach the point I am up to now).
Thank you,
hypest

What benefits will this give a developer above what Pocket C# will do?
I actually did a repackage of Pocket C# a while back so that it would work on a WM5 device.
I've not used it for a while but someone may be interested in using it to compile on the newer devices.

No extra features are to be expected for now I suppose. My goal is to make the toolchain "just work most of the time":
- Pocket C# includes an outdated version of the pnet compiler and perhaps that's the reason it doesn't compile some of my codes (rather simple ones, I should say). So I wanted to try to use the latest possible pnet version.
- the source code Mr Vitaliy Pronkin gave out, is not directly compilable as it seems to include only the files that he modified. I couldn't find the pnet version he used to be able to recompile Pocket C#, so I had to do it "from the beginning".
- I would also like to bugfix the IDE itself (make it landscape-friendly for starters).
A nice bonus of recompiling the pnet toolchain is that it makes other languages available too (java, c...)

Help Compiling Launcher.apk from Cyanogen Source Code

The title says it all, here is what I have done so far:
1. Installed Eclipse 3.5, ADT 0.95, SDK1.6r4 (all platform updates and tools), Java JDK 1.5, all additional suggest downloads from AOSP.
2. Set up repo via:
Code:
curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
repo sync
wait..................
3. I then moved the HTC recovery image to ~/mydroid and copied the proprietary bits via
Code:
cd /vendor/htc/dream-open
./unzip-files.sh
4. I then entered
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch
and on different attempts have tried 5. aosp_dream_us-userdebug, and 7. aosp_dream_us-eng.
5. Finally, I entered (from ~/mydroid)
Code:
make Launcher
mmm packages/apps/Launcher
From here everything compiles, and a Launcher.apk appears in ~/mydroid/out/target/product/dream-open/system/app
When I push this to /system/app in my G1, I have a blank screen, so obviously the Launcher is not compiled correctly. My goal is to have a 3 screen browser (which is the default in launcher.java) so I have changed nothing in the source files. I am quite a noob when it comes to compiling source code, so I am at a loss here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone, I know this is not hard for a real dev, but how many actually look in Q&A? I am starting to see why people post questions elsewhere.

[TUTORIAL] The Step-By-Step guide to build Cyanogenmod7 for the LG Optimus 2X

aMpeX proudly presents:
The Step-By-Step guide for building CM7
for the Optimus 2X​
Disclaimer:
I'm taking no responsibility for any damage that might occur to your phone or your PC
This guide illustrates how to setup an UBUNTU 11.04 equipped PC to build CM7 from source
It does not provide any support beyond that operating system, so if you insist on using other
Linux distributions, either adapt the guide yourself or look elsewhere.
Moreover I'm not providing any support for any problems that might occur during the course
of this guide, if they are not introduced by faults within the guide itself. I will only
troubleshoot the activities that this guide is based upon and won't be able to help with your
general linux problems. Feedback however is greatly appreciated.
Reposting this on other forums:
Feel free to post this guide on other forums. I'd like to be given credit though. Thanks
I am new to this myself, but I thought I'd share my findings after successfully building my first kang.
News & changelog:
v0.92 2011/06/01 Fix:
Added "change directory" before init repository (thanks to peewster)
v0.91 2011/05/31 Fix:
Fixed PATH exports (thanks to bhanvadia)
v0.9 2011/05/31 Initial release:
Still much formatting to be done, typos possible. Leave me some feedback if you encounter them.
Alright, so you want to build your own CM7 KANG's ?
Step 0: The starting point + info
When you start this guide, I assume that you just installed your Ubuntu 11.04 copy to your PC and set up all the drivers to your hearts content.
All commands are supplied, as they would be typed in from a USER ACCOUNT, if you operate from the root account, you will
have to add /home/<yourusername> to the most commands. I suggest, after performing the actions required by root, that you log out by typing
Code:
exit
What you need:
A working copy of Cyanogenmod7 installed on your phone
A PC with Ubuntu 11.04 installed (NOTE: If you're about to install Ubuntu from scratch, use the 64Bit version.
I can build CM7 on a 32Bit OS just fine. But AOSP for example won't build beyond Froyo on 32Bit.
At least 20GB of free space (including space required for the operating system itself)
A considerably fast internet connection (syncing the repo takes everal Gbs)
At least 3 hours of time.
All done? Then let's get started:
Step 1: Install the Java JDK
Go to System → Administration → Synaptics Package Manager
Here, we have to enable the partner repositories.
Go to Settings → Repositories → Other Software → Tick Canonical Partners and hit Close
Now push the „Reload“ button, and use the Search button to find the sun-java6-jdk package
tick the box in front of it and choose „Mark for installation“ and accept the following dialogue.
Click the „Apply“ button. Accept the dialogues, you now have the Java JDK installed.
Step 2: Install the Android SDK
Go here and download this.
Extract the archive to a directory of your choice.
Open a Terminal, navigate to the „tools“ subfolder and run the AVD Manager using ./android
In the new Window hit „Available Packages“ tick the „Android Repository“ and select „Install selected“
Once thats done, close everything up, time for step 3.
Step 3: Set up udev
The description from the CyanogenMod wiki struck me as being a slightly bit overkill, and, while it might be necessary for other devices, for LG phones this works just fine:
Create a new file on your desktop named
Code:
99-android.rules
and fill them with the following content:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666"
This will enable the debugging for LG devices, if you have time, it won#t hurt to add the other vendors. Just add another line
like above and replace the „1004“ with the appropriate vendor ID from http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html (scroll to the bottom)
Log in as root using
Code:
sudo su
and paste our file to
Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d
using the terminal (cp)
Set permissions for the file using
Code:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules
Now would probably be a good time to check if adb is working correctly.
But first, lets update the PATH so we can type „adb“ anywhere on the file system.
Navigate to your user home directory, press CTRL+H to show hidden files and edit the
Code:
.bashrc
file by adding the following
Code:
export PATH="/home/<yourusername>/<path to the android SDK >/platform-tools/:${PATH}"
export PATH="/home/<yourusername>/bin/:${PATH}"
(The 2nd line is necessary for later)
NOTE:This only enable the use of adb everywhere when logged in with your username. When working as root, you'll have
to add a separate line with /home/<yourusername> in front of the path above.
You have to log out and in again for the changes to take effect.
Now check if you can see your phone with
Code:
adb devices
Alright, still awake? Good, because now it gets interesting
Step 4: Install build packages and create directories
Since we already installed the JDK this command differs a bit from the Cyanogen Wiki:
For 32 and 64 Bit
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev pngcrush schedtool
For 64 Bit only
Code:
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.4-multilib g++-4.4-multilib
Now we need 2 directories
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
Almost there ….
Step 5: Install the repository
Now we need our repo binary:
Code:
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
(credits to p.valenta for notifying me of the adress change)
NOTE: You may need to reboot now
Change to your previously created directory:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
Initialize the repository:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
Enter your Name, eMail adress and select if you want colors or not.
AND NOW THE FINALE
Code:
repo sync -j16
Get yourself a BIG coffee, because this is going to take MUCH MUCH time, because basically you are now checking out all there is to CyanogenMod.
But wait, we're not done yet. Hang on
Step 6: Getting proprietary files for the Optimus 2X
For this step, you need an O2X with a running Cyanogenmod build, so if you're still on stock, this is the time to flash Cyanogenmod for the first time.
Connect your phone to your PC via USB and
navigate to the device tree in your repo folder:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/device/lge/p990/
and run
Code:
./extract-files.sh
This will extract some libs from your device. But sadly, not all of them (build will still fail) but we will fix this now.
Go to
Code:
https://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_lge/tree/gingerbread/p990
and click the download button on the right.
Extract the „p990“ folder located in the subfolder
Code:
/koush-proprietary_vendor_lge-a43238f/
in the archive to
Code:
~/android/system/vendor/lge/
Step 7: Get latest ROMManager
I know I must be annoying the sh** out of you by now, but hang in there
Code:
~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager
Step 8: BUILD F***ING EVERYTHING
Now this is what you've been waiting for huh?
Sync the repository again:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
repo sync
Build the ROM
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch p990
Wait
When everything is finished, your KANG will be stored in
Code:
~/android/system/out/target/product/p990/
And THATS IT!
Congratulations, you have just built your own CM7 KANG, don't forget to share it to other nightly testers

nice guide, really liked it.
too bad there were none when I started making my kangs.
btw: I use mac it is bit different for mac. but nothing its missing.
Here is file you keep on you desktop to make it work without any typing of commands after you setup your computer working directory as per guide by aMpeX.
and check post #2 for making that file executable.....

add "~/android/bin/" to path too so you can "repo sync" from anywhere.
just a suggestion... can upload build.sh file on here to make it easy.
something like
1. for clean and build
2. for repo sync
open file and press your options.
thats what I use...

That's why the guide states its for ubuntu. I found that even the Cyanogenmod Wiki entries don't work completely for the latest ubuntu (with g++ and gcc 4.3 not being available anymore, also hat huge problems with the java jdk at first)
I'll add the additional PATH variables as you suggested. Thank you.

seems to be working, after you chmod+x the sh file that is. My Repo Sync is stuck at 1%, but I doubt its related to your file.

Aside from what you can read on the net, my KANGs build perfectly fine on Ubuntu 32Bit
No reason to not install 64Bit though. I'll add a remark in the first post.
Edit: After some asking and digging, read this:
http://twitter.com/#!/CM_arcee/status/75677847712309249
So while standard Gingerbread cannot be built by 32Bit, the CyanogenMod7 repository can.

is this meant to download a lot of stuff for different phones? mine is downloading a lot of stuff at step 5 and it's taking forever..

It will download files for each and every phones supported by CyanogenMod, thats why its called cyanogen repo, not just P990 repo, but mostly you will use stuff thats required by your phone.
and its suggested to have 15 - 20 GB free, as it takes a lot....
3.5 GB is just "out" folder when it compiles for one device (P990)......

bit of a noob.. done everything..when I try to make the build using build/envsetup.sh i get permission denied
Any help please?

copy/paste the command from the tutorial
there is a leading dot and space before "build
Code:
. build/envsetup,sh && brunch p990

Thank's for the tutorial but i allways get no gsm function build

What baseband are you using? Make sure that the lge-ril.so is in your proprietary files

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank's for repy.
lge-ril.so is in and generally i flash my build coming from cyano #31 (405) and mcr18 (405)
So...405

Possibly (if you synced the proprietary repository by koush AFTER you ran extract-files.sh) your ROM still includes the lge-ril for 0218.
Try reflashing the ril with the methods provided in this forum.
Other than that, I have no idea what might be causing your problems.

old ril file from koush files do work on 405 baseband too, but you feel better performance with new ril. with old ril you may loose signals sometime.
delete your vendor/lge/p990 folder, and download again from koush's files and put it back there. make sure your directories are in order
example: for lib-ril.so in as below
like ~/android/system/vendor/lge/p990/proprietery/lib/

WebTopScripts - Fixing apt-get dependencies on WebTop

After using webtop2sd app the next step on using my webtop on motorola atrix was to start using programs like aptitude, synaptic or command line apt-get to install much more useful programs to use offline on this motorola modified ubuntu jaunty distribution.
The first problem faced was that motorola had left a lot of broken dependencies that would break webtop system if someone just try to use any automatic solution.
To help on this task i developed a bash script that fix those broken dependencies using three different approaches:
1 - The first logical step is just install the missing packages from ubuntu jaunty, taking care to not overwrite any original packages developed from motorola
2 - Since some packages were made from motorola and were already installed on webtop, the second step was creating FAKE packages to just tell apt-get that the package is already installed leaving the original motorola installed package intacted.
3 - Somehow, there is one fake package that breaks the system if is installed. For this package, the idea was backup all files provided from the package developed from motorola and install ubuntu jaunty package overwriting motorola's files. After installation restore the original files on top of ubuntu jaunty files to maintain maximum motorola original system.
After fixing apt-get broken dependencies the use of apt-get could upgrade original motorola`s file. To avoid that there is another script that mark to HOLD version installed. Doing that, it is more difficult to normal users to upgrade packages that would overwrite motorola packages.
Now let's explain how to use WebTopScripts.
Requirements:
* Rooted Atrix.
* Working WebTop after webtop2sd modifications.
* webtop configurator running and preliminaries fix applied from this program (most of all corrections are related to sources.list).
* basic skills to run bash scripts and commands from terminal command line
* working lxterminal program on webtop
Install Script on your Atrix:
* Download file from this thread and save on your download folder (/mnt/sdcard/download)
* run these commands on lxterminal:
Until version 1.6:
Code:
cp /mnt/sdcard/download/webtopscripts-1.4.tar ~/
cd ~
sudo tar -xvf ~/webtopscripts-1.4.tar
sudo chmod -R 777 WebTopScripts
bash WebTopScripts/setup.sh
After version 1.7:
Code:
cp /mnt/sdcard/download/webtopscripts-1.7.tar ~/
cd ~
sudo tar -Pxvf ~/webtopscripts-1.7.tar
cd /osh/usr/share/
sudo chmod -R 777 WebTopScripts
bash WebTopScripts/setup.sh
Run Scripts to fix apt-get:
Until version 1.6:
Code:
cd ~
bash WebTopScripts/fix-apt-get.sh
After version 1.7 execute this command and choose options from menu:
Code:
webtopscripts
Just use this script with care, and at your own risk, because apt-get may break your system.
Using webtop2sd you may easily recover from original webtop but since your are on a rooted device all caution is needed.
Good luck and enjoy.
New repository for updated versions on: webtopscripts google code
Version 1.5 released 10/01/2012
Version 1.6 released 11/01/2012

Programs Installed after apt-get fix from WebTopScripts
I will list here all applications that were installed and how I did it after fixing apt-get.
=== Reserved ===

You my friend, have to much time on your hands.
This is freaking wicked GOD like.
Thank you !

very nice I had been working on getting dependencies t work for days and kept breaking the webtop.

I've also been working on this for days and am happy to confirm it works beautifully!

May god carry your soul to heaven when you die.
I am now completely satisfied in replacing my netbook with the lapdock

im installing gnome desktop now =D
youre the man

I think I may have just died! Awesome job.

You make my day
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Thank you everybody that tested the script. My pleasure to help and contribute.
I need your help on this issue:
Sometimes when you are installing programs, the program is not able to configute itself.
I found oout that the main problem is that some programs modified by motorola are preventing that since they don't have all functionalities that are expected from them.
For example program readlink can not be used with option -q, program sed can not be used with some optins, etc....
To fix that the only way is to overwrite motorola file with ubuntu original jaunty file. BUT that sometimes breaks the system.
Here is your possible contribuition: to find out with me wich files can be overwriting without problems.
Here is an example to how to overwrite readlink:
Code:
cd ~
bash WebTopScripts/scripts/install.sh coreutils
rm -R ~/tmp
dpkg-deb -x WebTopScripts/packages/coreutils_6.10-6ubuntu1_armel.deb ~/tmp/
sudo cp ~/tmp/bin/readlink /usr/bin/readlink
To overwrite grep we need to include this package on WebTopScripts like this:
Code:
cd ~
sudo tee -a WebTopScripts/scripts/config.txt <<EOF
[grep]
site="http://launchpadlibrarian.net/[URL="tel:19665074"]19665074[/URL]/grep_2.5.3%7Edfsg-6ubuntu1_armel.deb"
file="grep_2.5.3~dfsg-6ubuntu1_armel.deb"
depends=""
EOF
bash WebTopScripts/scripts/install.sh grep
rm -R ~/tmp
dpkg-deb -x WebTopScripts/packages/grep_2.5.3~dfsg-6ubuntu1_armel.deb ~/tmp/
sudo cp ~/tmp/bin/grep /bin/grep
sudo cp ~/tmp/bin/egrep /bin/egrep
Finally, I am open to yours suggestions ....

This looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out today. has anyone installed a working chrome browser yet?

I am trying to find a working APT source for Jaunty to test against. Anyone have a working /etc/apt/sources.list I can use?

Use WebTop2SD & install webtop configurator. It will fix your apt source and keys.
If you're more advanced than that and just want repo, check out old-releases.ubuntu.com as your starting fqdn.

chromium ppa doesn't have jaunty binaries so this isn't possible. You might want to look at debian webtop for chromium.

did it work ???

Does any one have sources.list for any armel chromium? I had before for i386 one daily build that could work with jaunty since will not contains many dependencies on ubuntu stuff. But that was i386, i am not familiar with armel yet.

this is outstanding. well done.
i am one of the many that seem to have been experimenting with this and constantly breaking it. i did find however, that overwriting most of the packages that contain binaries that were included in the original rootfs (coreutils, findutils, etc) helped fix missing arguments especially when trying to build from source using apt-get.
also force overwriting locales let you rebuild a locale for your own language and gets rid of errors and some awn-manager issues due to dependencies on the locale files.
but alas, my awn-launcher is broken so i am out of action for the time being.

You can find and add PPA ubuntu sources from www.launchpad.net. Unfortunately, there are no armel jaunty binaries for Chromium stable, dev or beta available.

[Q] Build instruction for Xdandroid for the X1

Hi
I am working on the Kovsky kernel at the moment, but would really like to be able to make changes to the Andoid part of the system as well. Does anyone have build instructions for the XDAndroid system?
I have done cross compiling to various platforms before, so the part I need is:
*What sources to download
*What commands to run

As I didn't get any feedback I have decided to figure it out for myself and publish as I go along:
To get the sources follow the instructions at:
xdandroid.com/wiki/Getting_the_Source
mkdir ~/xdandroid
cd ~/xdandroid
repo init -u git://gitorious.org/xdandroid/manifest.git -b gingerbread
repo sync
Now I have lots of code, and the next step is found at:
xdandroid.com/wiki/Build_Configuration
What I need is a "buildspec.mk" file. If anyone has one that has been used for NAND compiles feel free to share

I have now realized that all the ROMS have been compiled based on CyanogenMod7 source that have separate repositories from xdandroid.
Sp3dev created a repo for some of the kovsky files he used in november last year at: https://github.com/astarasikov/device_kovsky
Next up is integrating them into the cyanogen tree and creating vendor files based on leo/dream

I am starting to piece everything together now. I am still not able to compile it, but I am getting closer:
Here are some steps that have only been tested on an Ubuntu system:
1. Follow the steps here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream_&_Magic:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux) down to "Install the Repository"
Code:
# 2. Install repository by running (This will take several hours):
cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/CoolRunnerII/android.git -b gb-release-7.2
repo sync
# 3. get the propriatary files from a running phone connected by usb by running. You may need root to do this:
cd ~/android/system/device/htc/kovsky/
./extract-files.sh
# 4. copy vendor file to correct place by running:
cp device/htc/kovsky/cyanogen_kovsky.mk vendor/cyanogen/products
# 5. Get Rom-manager by running
~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager
# 6. sync repo again by running:
cd ~/android/system/
repo sync
# 7. get ready for compile with:
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cyanogen_kovsky-eng
# 8. Start compile with:
make

Great news.Hope you can finish it!

Compile now runs to the end
On my system the compile runs to the end when doing the steps above. I have not started packageing it yet, but everything seems to compile correctly.
The other guides recoment running "make bacon" witch are supposed to create a "over the air" OTA package. This crashes when I try it. If anyone has some good information as to how the final packages is supposed to be please share. all the other CM7 roms have folder in the zip fil called META-INF that contain the update script. The .zip-file created by running make does not.

I just added Alex's fork of the gps library from xdandroid to the manifest.
If someone could try the steps above and report to me wether it works on their system or not I would be very thankfull. My goal is to create a streamlined rom build directly from source. That way getting the last issues out of the way should be possible even without guys like Alex working on it.

very very nice job!!!!!! currently downloading kovsky repos to check if i can build but it will take hours with slow connection and i've little time cause of exams...
btw: if someone has problems with syncing cause of slow internet repo sync -f is a nice option
EDIT:
in time i'm going to improve cwm recovery (currently porting cwm-touch to another device...)
EDIT2: any chance to add wpa repo to existing working directory?
btw: you could also use a local_manifest.xml for the additional repos... (just if you don't already know ) (would be more official???)
i can't test cause i don't know how to add wpa repo

this should be in android development section... you posted here cause of limited posts right? btw thanks a lot for missed call fix

Yes I posted here due to limited rigths.
I'll start a new thread in the developer section now that I can

Cool runner the rhodium android development forum has a 7.2 build but I don't know how to make work for our device. I pm the maker he said I can use his rom
