[HowTo] Compiling SpicagenMod + X

[voku1987]

This thread explain how to compile SpicagenMod + X with a Linux-System!

Info:
- this HowTo is tested with Lubuntu (Debian based OSs)
- you can install the Linux-System on your physical HDD or you can use e.g. VirtualBox for this step


First step: Install Linux & Prepare the Build Environment

After the installation on your HDD or on a virtual-Disk (> 10GB) you need to enable a new repository to install sun-java...

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's
## 'partner' repository.
## This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is offered by Canonical and the
## respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu users.
############ Activated to get sun-java6-jdk ###################
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner

... update the repositories:

sudo apt-get update

And install new software via "apt-get" or "aptitude" ...

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 sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool

To get started with Android, you'll need to get familiar with > repo & git & github.com

Now we need the repo-software: (try the commands without root-privileges)

mkdir -p ~/bin/
curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod +x ~/bin/repo

2nd step: building Android from sources
Then we need the android-sources: You will find many different versions of the Android software on github.com e.g. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base -> you can see (upper right corner) that there are more than > 250 forks from this project!

To initialize your local repository, use a command like this:

mkdir -p ~/android/SGM/
cd ~/android/SGM/
repo init -u git://github.com/voku/sm_android.git -b froyo

PS: you can edit the sources in this file: .repo/manifest/default.xml

Download (sync) the sources:

repo sync -j15

Prepare for build:

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch spica-eng
vendor/spica/get-google-files -v mdpi

Optionally for gapps,3D libs from Intercept, live wallpapers:

export SPICA_WITH_GOOGLE=1
export SPICA_WITH_3D=1
export SPICA_WITH_LIVEWALLPAPERS=1
export SPICA_WITH_DEV=0

Build:

mka otapackage -j8

Thx voku for sharing this

Just to add: if you are on latest ubuntu you may get repo error (unknown command) if it happens:

Open up your bashrc (gedit ~/.bashrc) and add to the end line:

PATH=~/bin:$PATH

Save the file.

Source it:

source ~/.bashrc

Try again and it works, if not, restart your terminal and try again
