[Q] How to set up O2X kernel/rom build environment?

For a few days now I've been trying to set up a build environment to compile (for starters) the stock kernel on my own.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 x64 and have tried to build an ARM EABI capable GCC using
vorkChain script
Linaro GCC
without success. Everytime the compilation process aborts with either libstdc++ missing ('/bin/bash: line 3: cd: arm-eabi/libstdc++-v3: No such file or directory') or some error with the strip command.
I'm now trying to get running with the sourcery toolchain but I'm unsure if that's the right direction or if it's just compiling a Tegra2-compatible but not optimized code.
How did you set up your build-environment for the LG-P990 kernel/ROM development?

Hello!
Did you read this guide!?!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104523
Did you follow this thread!?!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118091&page=4

Thanks for the hints. I had a look at both but unfortunately they are targeted at CM7 builds which have a specific and defined environment/structure, use loads of scripts to set up all requirements and would require me to download several GBs (~20GB?) just to begin working. Furthermore the guides require me to flash CM7 on my phone as at one step they extract propietary stuff from the phone to have a successful build. That's not exactly what I'm looking for.
What I'm looking for is a description on how to set up the compiler (+dependencies) environment which allows me just to build the official kernel on my own. I tried to get some hints out of the CM scripts but with no luck. All my searches in the forum also have been not successful.
Maybe someone more experienced than me can give me some info or hints on topics which could help me with my search?

Hello!
Well, I am not an expert in kernel-build myself but there where discussions in the ironkrnL threat and some people managed to build kernels from the devs github their (i.e. vodonka)...
Beginning somewhere here…
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307&page=33
And I found this…
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-how-compile-cyanogen-gingerbread-source.html
The HowTo from Cyanogen is for Debian and Red Hat…
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source
…but it doesn’t say much about compiler setup itself anyway.
The best thing might be asking one of the people building kernel-Kangs frequently like rusty, temasek or koboltzz.

Medizinman I think you still don't understand, you keep giving links for cyanogen kernel!!
There is no way to compile stock kernel with cyanogen environment.....
Kosi you should ask for Spica and Koboltz in dev section they build stock kernels.

Hello!
Oh sorry, I overlooked this... ...of course he can't build a "stock kernel" from Cm7-source...my fault/mistake.
...forget what I wrote...
Yes, asking one of the "stock-kernel-devs" on xda like Spica (hp kernel for stock), Koboltz, Imperticus(NeoBlaze kernel) or dr4go (fps kernel) might be a good idea indeed...

Hi all,
Does any one have compiled kowalski kernel from sources (github(dot)com/pengus77/lge-kernel-star) ?
I have been using Linaro toolchain 4.6.2 to compile it, and it build ok. However, I can not boot using the generated zImage - it always stucks in the LG logo.
Can you give me some pointers concerning the compilation flags and/or environment?
Thanks!

Meh, don't bother with my CM9 port, the code for that build is ancient in technological terms. I'll be compiling CM10 or AOKP JB for you guys next month when my bandwidth meter restarts. I waster a LOT of bandwidth trying to sync the CM10 code and having it run into a fatal error at the end. Such a piss off.

I like Ubuntu a lot. I've only used 11.10, and 12.04 but I personally prefer 11.10 due to the fact that 12.04 is "only experimentally supported for compiling ROM's and not guarenteed to work". I also find 11.10 to be significantly more stable and smooth than 12.04, but it could be because of my older computer and processor.
If you're good with technology and computers (Which you most likely are since you're on XDA) then you should have no problem learning how to use Ubuntu. There are a little bit more quirks in Ubuntu than in Windows, and the problems typically have to be fixed in the Terminal, but it's not that bad. I personally enjoy using Ubuntu, I found it to be very easy to learn how to use. (But I'm a major nerd )
Edit: If you want to know anything else about Ubuntu, let me know and I'll fire up my VM.

My pleasure I've read them all, and tried out a majority of them myself. Some work, some don't but they all teach you valuable lessons and are worth reading. Not all of them are for Sense ROM's, only some of them are. I also really want to compile CM10 which is why I also have a lot of AOSP links. Some are also app tutorials, I'm also trying to learn how to write apps.

That's an impressive list, thanks for sharing.

Well, you need a lot of work to get a working build, as i currently compile CM9 for SXL.
Recommended distros: Ubuntu 12.04 Precise / Linux Mint 13 Maya with Cinnamon interface to have the best linux experience << The best linux distro i ever used
Packages: Well, you need to check the Paranoid site to download the repo for ICS or JB variant of source-code.
Commands: Lots of commands, there are tutorials online. Example >> here
After this, you will need the device tree for SXL, i have one that is deprecated (not updated for some time), it does not work the variant uploaded here, but i will upload it.
You will need the vendor files, i also have the files but as the build of CM9 don't work, i haven't upload them anywhere untill i can get an at least experimental build that boots
Link for android device tree for sxl by me here
There is a lot of work and there aren't any specific guides on how to do this, you need to join communities and be a pain on the ass for them untill you learn how to do this.
I hope this helps anyways

Hi just so you know you won't be able to compile Paranoid Android for ICS from source as it was never released.
If you can get JB to work then you will not only be a hero but also be able to use Paranoid Android source

I have a problem I can not download the sources of the paranoid in any way
help (or build the sources normal Android?)

Did you follow a guide how to set up the environment in linux? Or Mac.. the way you can download sources is git clone and then the git link. There are many guides on doing that part. Also when I download source it times out in a 4 mb/s connection and I need to use a better connecyion

aa ok but the guide I was reading did not say that it was necessary to clone each of the sources piece by piece, but he said to use a single link.
I have linux mint 14 with cinnamon (from the 13 consigliatami lextmazter I do not work)
both in Italy and in spite of my connection is approximately 16 mb / s (88% above the national average)

I do not recommend Linux Mint 14 as it is new edition, based on new Ubuntu version 12.10 if i remember good, don't know for sure, that's why, on Ubuntu 12.04 building is supported, even though on some guides it is said that on 12.04 it is experimental, well, it was, now it should be stable.
Also, if you want to port things like Paranoid or PAC you should start with AOSP or CM9 or AOKP, to put it short, versions that have guides and source codes on their sites. In my opinion CM is the best thing to start with, that's why i started CM9, after that you can easily port every 4.0.4 AOSP based ROM.
The same thing applies to JB, if you can port or build AOSP or CM10, you can port every JB AOSP based ROM very easily following only a few basic steps, that's how things work in this hood
Off-topic: I was a little distracted from building/testing/devving because of the school affairs, but today i will resume my work on CM9, if things work well, i will have a bootable build this very evening.

same as lexmazter, sound correct. the hard part is build CM9 rom, rest is pretty easy.
Lexmazter, i am about to try take a ramdisk from cm9 primou and make changes in every lines and see if i can get it to work with runnymede. if it does we will have a working aosp bootimg. i have compiled a zimage from source and it works with wifi and bt and so on in sense rom, also zimage works with cm9 with wifi.
lexmazter, can you please take a bencmark test with antutu 3.0.1, the new one, and post screenshot of the score and wich rom you are in ? they have made the test much diffrend so score is diffrend in 3.0.1 than older , so i have nothing to compare it to

5941 no OC with LTX Kernel v0.7 and Sense 3.0 by fshami, also, i think i found the right ramdisk for now for CM9, it solved the dalvik-permissions, now i still need to boot the build, still trying to figure what is wrong here and why it hangs after Android is upgrading... >> Starting applications.
I can work more on my device now as i have a cheap second phone to use if for calls and sms.

so then I decided, when I start buildare the source of AOSP Android 4.2 jellybean I think it's easier for me to start.
I had to use because the new mint old man crashed always

As a recommandation, i would recommend building AOSP 4.0.4, it is easier to start and has more chances of working, after that, you have the experience and the headstart to work on 4.1 and only after that on 4.2.
Just start with baby-steps, it is easier and increases the chances of success.

Well, i recommend this because i'm still building 4.0.4 and i haven't successfully booted a build, so that's why i say this, because if you get the 4.0.4, in short terms, all you need to change for 4.1 is the graphics driver, but for 4.2 i don't know for sure, too new for me and i'm still trying to get 4.0.4 to air

then my kernel is not so bad 5838 with sense 4.1 v. 1.5.1 and still missing some improvments
which ramdisk are you using, zimage from stock rom should get it to boot, but the ramdisk as you know need to be changed to cm9. when you compile from source it should also make a ramdisk that will fits the rom, i think it is best to check what the diffrence in the new ramdisk and the old one with VM errors and then fix them, perhaps it will boot then ? one specific compiled by you ? post a logcat in your cm9, had also some bootloop in my cm9 port but got it booting.

just enter the irc channel, will talk more there, no need to spam the forum with this.
The boothanging is because of the audio, the ramdisk is good, i use the LTX v0.7 zImage and ramdisk from stock edited to fit the build.
Also, the ramdisk is not made with the build, maybe if you compile the kernel with the rom, and for this you need to put the kernel online and othe things, and because of proxy, i can't and won't do that. For more details, like i said, find me on the irc.

I tryed this, but isn't work.

You will never set up a build environment using wubi.
Install linux properly if you want to code. If you can't setup linux then you are doomed. It's easier to install than windows.

You need case sensitive filesystem to work with android source (the ntfs not good for this work). If you too lazy to make a linux partion or use virtualbox for a linux install, better if you not want to play with the source...

virtualbox uses too much resource imo. better if op makes a linux partition if he wants windows on his system. just an observation.

The kernel compiling working without any problem, just need extreme big patience on a 700MHz p3 machine (and on 1,6GHz atom too, looks like the atom is two times faster if we see the clocks, but the reality... due the sh!t design and the in-order execution pipelines the old p3 sometime faster than the atom... )
The rom compiling is another business, for compile gb need at least 1,5-2 gb ram, for 4.0+ you need at least 3+ gb ram to prevent lot of compiling errors due the low ram.
And while the kernel compiling not need any special packages, just an arm compiler (now checked, the latest codesourcery 4.7.2 runs on ubuntu 8, fedora 6, and lot of old distro), the rom compiling need lot of packages what require newer disto (I can suggest use at least ubuntu 10+/debian 6+/suse 10+/fedora 15+)

How do we build Resurrection Remix,CyanogenMod,Crdroid,AOSP,etc?

Hi developers, I'm a newbie for developing Android. Can i ask you all? How do you build and develop Resurrection Remix,CyanogenMod,Crdroid,AOSP,etc? I want to build and develop my own rom,please?:crying: Thanks.

Look on their tutorials...

Having a separate computer for doing builds is a huge difference. The amount of storage and RAM it takes to build these ROMs is large. I have tried to build from source many times on my laptop. Get a dedicated build machine with enough memory and storage to complete the builds.

Every video I have watched makes it look easy, but it is not that easy. Just now I have had gnults_handshake TCP errors when repo is going on. It isn't all that easy to debug Linux commands when building a build environment.

So I finally built CM 11, 12.1, and CM 13 from source. It took one successful build to make the difference. Good stuff!

Can you point me at one of those tutorials?
Thanks

They are on this website. Have a look around.

You need a complete linux distro , you must done a dual-boot it's better , linux alone is fah , and go to see guides for terminal commands you should use , in dual-boot you must have at less 200 Gb for the distro and then you're done with fews hours and days of patience

Man, I follow this tutorial.

You'll need few requirement to go :
- Hardware
- 8GB RAM (more is better)
- minimum dual core CPU
- minimum 150Go storage
- Some knowledge :
- For that, I recommend you to read pages on Android Developers AOSP, looks other commits to understand how does a device tree (or hw, kernel, etc..) work, and be curious each thing you don't understand on in a device tree, check what is it (e.g.: you see "libIon", check what is "libIon")
Good luck!
