Building itsutils.dll from source - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build the XDA utils tree and itsutils.dll from source in order to play around with it a bit, but have had no luck so far. I've searched through all the forums, but couldn't find anything about building the toolset, only how to develop for actual mobile devices.
I got the source tree for the xda utils project, but the instructions on how to build them (here) are not very clear. What software do I need to have installed? Which libraries? Do I need to install an embedded version of the STL? Where can I find the "preview editions" of Platform Builder 3.0 and 4.0 in order to get the header files?
I'm running Windows XP 32-bit (I also have a 64-bit machine, though I doubt that'll make it any easier), and have installed VS 2005, the Windows Mobile 6 SDK, and eMbedded VC 4.0.
I'd really appreciate any advice or help.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

General instruction on how to build firmware for Android devices?

Is there any source/ help/ instruction that I can check out to learn how to design/build Android OS for any supported devices? I would like to learn to see if I can build the firmware for my Eken M0001 using the latest Android version.
i think theunlockr.com has a guide of some sort. i would look there!
Code:
android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling_for_Android
This should get you up and running if you are somewhat familiar with the whole Linux thing. If not I would start out by learning how to compile the kernel and some standard libraries for a regular X86(_64) distro. The approach is pretty much the same, only compiling for android requires a lot more work with cross-compiling and getting a working set of standard libraries for arm.
Oh, and sorry about the link thingie. The administrators of this forum are obviously weak minded and have come up with some totally brain-dead limitations for new users. (A new user is not allowed post links , a good RP system would beat that hands down anytime)
Thanks for the info. I will check those links out.

Building Android source for Windows?

Hello,
How does one build Android source code for the Windows platform? I know building natively on Windows is out, and Cygwin seems to be a hassle, too. I was wondering if there was a toolchain I could install for Ubuntu that can build the code in Linux, but the output results would be for Windows. A pointer to a tutorial would be a big help.
Thanks in advance.
Specifically, I would like to make mods to and build the SDK from source. Is this an easy thing to accomplish?
Found a potential solution:

anyone else care to weigh in?

Application development begginnings

I am looking for somewhere to start building an application. I want to develop for Iphone, andriod and windows. I googled some application developement things, but I still don't know where to start/begin.
Do I download sdk of somekind for each platform, or is there some software that i start with and then port into mobile os that I want?
Please help a newbie out. Thanks.
You need to program for iPhone to have a Mac, then buy the SDK tool.
Android with Eclipse and an Addon can now make applications.
Each platform iphone,windowsphone and android requires their own set of tools.

it seems that no one is interested in this project. i'd love to see any new version because the 2.5.1 out there is really out of date and slow as hell. i've read that newer versions are speed up to 50%. i can't understand why no1 tries to port version 2.6.6 to android.

I can take a crack at it. I'm not a pro at porting apps. I just recently learned how so don't hold your breath. I will give it the ol' college try though

Did you manage to do it?
Hopefully someone will post the latest version..
It's already been done. Check here, you can compile it yourself. There's a build file for each operating system and instructions for android in the Android folder. Not my work, just a lucky find. https://github.com/lubomyr/bochs?files=1
tried this version (russian), but you can try use google translate.
in russian 4pda. ru there is detailed manual for 2.6.8 .

[Q] Anyone have the Limbo apk compiled for x86 Android?

Hi
I have found the wonderful limbo emulator but only the versions compiled for ARM android devices. Does anyone have "Limbo x86.apk"? I think the latest version of limbo pc emulator is 0.9.9. I would be very grateful to try it. I'm ultimately hoping to use the kvm for x86 to have a relatively fast x86 guest OS. Seeing that x86 kvm virtualization should run fast on the Intel Android tablets, I think Limbo could be the answer.
If anyone knows how to compile the limbo sources found here: https://code.google.com/p/limbo-android/source/browse/README, that would also be very appreciated. I may end up figuring out how to compile this as a last resort. I haven't compiled anything for android before.
Thank you!
