Well Google uses Ubuntu 10.04 as its official environment. However any newer version of Ubuntu will work, as well as other Ubuntu based distros (I use mint).

You could also use cygwin in windows, although i don't recommend it.

You can also use rpm based distros, but its more difficult to setup. Google has a very nice guide to setting up a build environment on developer.android.com and xda has some pretty nice guides to.

The main factor is that, you need to run a Linux distro in order to be able to compile, as you can't compile linux/android kernels on a non Linux computer.

Aren't you running OS X? OS X is a supported build environment for Android.

I've never successfully gotten a kernel to build on OS X either. Google makes it seem like OS X is a compatible environment, but most of the tools needed to build on OS X are outdated and end up using more resources than I ever used on a Linux distro.

128MB of RAM? Uh, no offense, but that's technically impossible without the threads running out of memory while compiling, not even including the fact that the system reserves some memory, and then the operating system using memory for the graphical interface. I ran out of memory compiling with 4GB of RAM before.

I'm pretty sure he was serious, and that's the scary fact.

128GB

Ah, I feel ya. Wait, 128GB of RAM? Or HDD space?

If RAM, then that's totally badass. What motherboard you have?

Bull**** a kid who hasn't even grown a chin hair has a computer that kickass. I have a $6,000 machine with only 64.

EDIT: This is the cheapest 128gb of ram I could find, and I KNOW that you don't have cheaper, since even a xeon can only handle 8 ddr3 ports:

I VERY seriously doubt that you would spend 1000+ dollars on ram, but use ubuntu, but even if you did, that is beyond pointless unless you are making money with an unbelievably ram intensive program on your computer.

I had these grand dreams of building a Dev PC using a server mobo as a base. That would be pretty nice. Thanks for confirming that it is indeed possible.

Laptop froze, retrying repo. duplicated disc for this reason

Re: lg viper roms?

Will restarting a repo overwrite, and i might need help building. Cross referencing through build guides, got me thus far. every guide has different directions how to.

Re: lg viper roms?

It's easy, make install && make .config && make
