Building your own ROM

**compjake** · 09-01-2011, 11:29 PM

Where does it say that? I think I missed it lol
I've been looking all over for an answer lol

Is there any alternative websites that I can sync my repo with? At the moment my repo is empty, I just got this system up and running with Ubuntu 11.04 x64 and Win7 x86. I finally got rid of Mandriva 2006! lol

kernel.org got hacked old news now. Funny thing is I was telling my girl a day before that ubuntu can't catch viruses

P.S before someone says, "it wasn't a virus". I know

**wilberfan** · 09-02-2011, 05:07 PM

I was getting the following errors after trying to compile under the Ubuntu 11.10 beta. I restored 11.04--but am still getting these errors. Is this related to the site being hacked yesterday??

Code:

/media/d2p8/android/system$ /media/d2p8/bin/repo init -u git://github.com/BobZhome/android.git -b gingerbread

I think thats the ole you messed up

I think you're right--but I don't have a clue how. I re-installed the android SDK--and things run better now--but with kernel.org down, I can't really do anything anyway...

**JerryScript** · 09-06-2011, 07:30 PM

There are alternatives to kernel.org, I'm syncing from codeaurora right now, will let you know if I can get a working build environment going. Here's the blog with info on using codeaurora:

This will give you gingerbread, then we will see if I can sync just android_device_lge_thunderc or if it has to be done manually. Either way, a working envrionment should be possible with kernel.org still down, just a pita that may be worth waiting through instead.

**bigsupersquid** · 09-06-2011, 08:41 PM

my codeaurora gingerbread_rel repo had been down with errors before kernel.org bit it (couldn't repo sync, had to reinitialize,) so I couldn't repo init. That blog post allowed me to fix it. Thanks, JerryScript!

Thanks a bunch! In about an hour I'll boot over to Ubuntu and see if I can get it going.

Have you had any luck with this?

I was able to get the gingerbread repo from codeaurora but if I try to sync with git://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android.git it still tries to connect to android.git.kernel.org
Here's a link to my results in terminal.
The errors start on line 141.

As far as I can tell the only reason this is happening is because kernel.org is down, so until its back up how do I sync with github's IHO repo?

A lot of this is way over my head so I appreciate any help I can get.

**JerryScript** · 09-16-2011, 06:59 AM

I finally got a working build environment figured out! Huge thanks to Sanghee Kim over at Google Groups for posting the details

(click on the last post by Sanghee Kim)

Here's the steps I took:

1) Create a new build directory (we want to keep what we have intact for when kernel.org is back)
2) CD into the directory and run repo init with an additional paramater:

Code:

$ repo init -u git://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android.git -b gingerbread --repo-url=git://git.omapzoom.org/tools/repo.git

3) Open your build directory with your file explorer, and press cntrl+h so you can see the .repo folder
4) Inside the .repo/manifests open default.xml with your text editor
5) Change the following lines:

Code:

  <default revision="gingerbread"
           remote="korg" />

to:

Code:

<remote  name="omapzoom"
           fetch="git://git.omapzoom.org/" />

  <default revision="gingerbread"
           remote="omapzoom" />

6) Run repo sync
7) Open the newly synced android folder, and make the same changes as step 5 to default.xml
8) In the same file, change git://android.git.kernel.org/ to http://android.git.kernel.org/
9) Open external/dnsmasq/src/log.c in your text editor and comment out line 289 (temp fix till I figure out what's causing the error):

Code:

__android_log_vprint(alog_lvl, "dnsmasq", format, ap);

10) Run . build/envsetup.sh
11) Run lunch and choose 2 for VM670
12) Run make bacon
13) Profit

Thanks Jerry, I'm trying this now

Btw, that section of code is on line 298. I'm guessing my system is different or 289 was a typo, either way I'm just letting you know

Applying the following commit also fixes the problem.

And do a "repo sync" after applying these changes.

Anybody else getting undefined symbol (symbol : variable STATUS_BAR_HEADSET) two times while compiling the following file.
packages/apps/CMParts/src/com/cyanogenmod/cmparts/activities/UIStatusBarActivity.java

I am stuck there please let me know if you know a solution or having the same problem.

Add: you need to revert .repo/manifests/default.xml in addition to android/default.xml. And do a "repo sync" after these changes.

packages/apps/CMParts/src/com/cyanogenmod/cmparts/activities/UIStatusBarActivity.java

Edit 2: I have edited UIStatusBarActivity.java and commented out the parts of the code that refers to undefined symbol (given above) near lines 90 and 156. The compilation completed after this. Apparently, this is a bug on the CM side introduced by a careless commit. But this build required too much massaging. Who knows what other bugs got compiled in. It is not worth testing, I have done a "make clean" and will wait for a clean build. Wasted several hours

It's not a CM bug! In Framework/base there was a merge at the same time as the CMParts update that you also need, called "Add headset icon toggle (Framework)" in order for the CMparts part to compile correctly. Blarf has not updated framework/base on his repo, so that is why your having a problem with that.

Thanks Bob, as always. I found the commit in framework/base. I am thinking if I should fork and merge myself or manually copy the files into my local directory. I will decide later.

Anyone else have this issue, and if so, how did you fix it?

**JerryScript** · 09-20-2011, 07:27 AM

Did you curl a different repo? I don't think kernel.org's version works right now. I'm using this:

Code:

http://php.webtutor.pl/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/repo

I'm getting the same thing, even from using Jerrys method

That step seems to be missing.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

EDIT:
That was it, thanks.
Now maybe I can get back to building.

**pbailey212** · 09-20-2011, 08:13 PM

I just repo sync'd everything went fine until the very end of the build process i got an error. Grrr. I will try again tonight

**LeslieAnn** · 09-20-2011, 09:09 PM

Code:

make: *** [out/target/product/thunderc/obj/EXECUTABLES/dnsmasq_intermediates/log.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Not sure what to make of this, is this what you are getting Pbailey212?

Im pretty sure it is, I'm not home so i can't double check. Did you fallow all of Jerry's steps? Wasn't dnmmasq the line he said to comment out? I blame Jerry

Yep, that's the one, will compile fine if you either comment that out or grab the commit that fixes it.

I tried commenting it out, i will grab the comment from the link above next time i try, thanks again Jerry, i was just joking about the blame Jerry comment i made, you know i have nothing but mad props for you

**LeslieAnn** · 09-20-2011, 11:27 PM

Hmm, I commented it out, but I will try the other options.

Don't expect any of us to have all the answers. If one of us knew everything asked, I would have to wonder about them.
