hey guys I'm really hoping you can help me with this problem Ive been having. I am an aspiring Developer trying to build my first ROM from CyanogenMOD Source. I am running Ubuntu 10.10, and am running CM6.1RC3 on my Droid. I have been following the steps from Cyanogen's wiki.
When I run this command
make -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l` CYANOGEN_WITH_GOOGLE=true otapackage

It takes about 2 hours to run its course and does its thing, when its done I type this command
./vendor/cyanogen/tools/squisher

Click to collapse
I get this:
andrewUbuntu:~/android/system$ ./vendor/cyanogen/tools/squisher
/home/andrew/android/system/out/target/product/sholes/cyanogen_sholes-ota-eng.andrew.zip doesn't exist!

Am I missing something here? Ive been trying to build this for the past week or so and Im getting really close but then I keeping getting errors. I tried asking on Cyanogen's IRC channel but for some reason the IRC wouldnt let me talk in the Channel.
[12:48] ... Topic On: [ #Cyanogenmod ] [ STABLE = 6.0.0 :: 6.1.0 RC1 = http://goo.gl/SAcG | http://goo.gl/KRDeh (G2) :: Gapps: http://goo.gl/Ikcdp :: Changelog: http://goo.gl/vCoz // :: You must register your nick (/msg nickserv help) to speak :: Forum: http://goo.gl/WpNQ :: Wiki: http://goo.gl/fUQ4 | Don't ask to ask a question, just ask! ]
/msg nickserv register password email
Hope that helps
So I take it that is from the IRC channel? I cant tell you the last time I used IRC its been forever. Where would I enter the /msg nickserv register password email?
Ayooooooo
PM me, or message me. I can help you! I was in the same boat as you and I'm now building my own roms from source and theming them as well and I knew nothing when I started.. lol... Hit me up, I got you!!!
So what's the answer then ?!?

hi!
I've got no experience of coding and if i'm honest i don't really like it! I've never written an app
What i'd like to do is build CM6 for the Nexus from Cyanogens Git Hub.
Is this something realistically possible for someone with no coding experience
I've not bothered researching yet as I wanted to know if I was actually going to be wasting my time!
Short answer is - not a chance.

Anyway, here's the CM wiki to build from source:

You should read what you post first. Look, a quote:
"These instructions have only been tested for 4.2.10.1 on 25 DEC 2009. This information may be out-of-date.".
Do you think a 1/2 year and 2 versions old is still relevant?
Do you think that a code which is currently being written, sampled at some random point in time, will compile cleanly?
Do you think that this quote means something, from TODO section:
"TODO: Explain how to compile the rest of CyanogenMod"
Maybe this?
"TODO: Explain how to compile wlan.ko in order to enable wifi."
And more importantly, do you think a user who's asking for instructions to compile and hates programming, knows ANYTHING about Linux, which is required?
Thought so.
So, the short answer is - not a chance.
Who **** in your corn flakes?
The wiki worked for me before and when I was compiling last night...
Anyway, why not give them the information and let them decide if they want to pursue it the project or not.
Edit: From the bottom of the Wiki: This page was last modified on 26 June 2010, at 13:57.
Long story...
Anyways, I was stopped by "and if i'm honest i don't really like it" part, which said to me that any info besides a full comprehensive guide to installing VirtualBox, Debian on VB, and backing up the effort to compile something that might not compile and might not work, would go in vain.
But maybe you're right.

I don't know "coding by heart" or better, i don't know what it means(not a native speaker...).
I know some c Coding an Linux Module development.
Furthermore Java and the typical web technologies.
And a lot of linux administration and kernel configuration...

Well then you should be able to code android Read any guide?
No.
But Android apps and most framework parts are written in java, so the language isn't a problem.
Any furhter information is in the android api documentation, so i don't think this is a major problem.

Well if that's the case maybe you can make a build from winxusers git? It is the port that is the problem. He hasn't changed every I9300 to I9305 in the rom. Wich is a problem
I will lay down the details when I get home from the cinema
If we're all beginners anyway I'll throw my name in the hat. I have no idea exactly what to do but I am a skilled C and java programmer (more so java than C) and I have experience with the Android build system. If someone can guide me I'm sure I can provide assistance.
Thanks man! I have very little knowledge in porting roms but this should help! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713
I'll check out the git when i'm @home from work and will try to build it.
I think i should start making a backup of my phone

Haha good idea
Still cloning cm10.1 sources, on my server @100mbit/s... then getting the compressed tar.bz2(thats faster than getting it directly via git to the local machine)

Tell me when it is done! We should be able to get it starting without anything working at least!
What about you? Checking out source and building?
What about using an instant messenger for short communication(google talk, jabber, whatever...) ?
Hey guys! In the original Sense 5 porting thread we had came up with an idea for an irc to communicate ideas... That has now happened.
Code:
1. Go to http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=
2. Use your XDA username, (it makes it easier to identify users.
3. Join #sense irc
Join in and let's do this!

Just remember to register the channel.
And I'm in
I posted in the main Android forum for help, but it's so busy there! I figured I may get some help in a more relevant device community. To avoid reposts, here is the original thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-build-source-failed-make-otapackage-t3831440
Big thanks to Psy_Man, I used his device tree and kernel to build.
If anyone wants to try my build it's here (use opengapps nano, stock seems to crash the setup wizard, probably because it removes webview). Everything seems to work but I have no clue how to fix anything so don't bother sending me logcats

Maybe (very probably) I missed something but in your thread asking for help you say the problem is build doesn't complete, error at 99%, but then you do have a build that I think (from what some guys say in telegram) boots and all. So what do you need the help for exactly?
On the other hand I always found help posting my problems in the complete android rom development source to end thread, the one with like 900 pages and going....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763
you should post on development section, if you want to keep updating the ROM, many people will try your ROM and help to test it and maybe will help for the solutions too.

I am a complete Linux noob, I have literally never used a compiler before in my life. Yes my build works and boots (which I am amazed at because it's my first try) but I need help in understanding why one way worked and the other way didn't. Thanks for the tip about the development guide

I would post there, need to get my post count up first :laugh:
I made another test build after setting up my own github account, this time no compile errors at all, and I got an xxx-UNOFFICIAL.zip this time like I'm supposed to! Who knows why it didn't work the first time, but i'm (very) slowly getting the hang of this
Have made a build that works properly now, will make a dev page as soon as i'm allowed. if anyone wants to try it out it's here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SQGaI4U0KeQQKJwq6EyRsa2VQph91oHA
