Building Android source for Windows? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

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?

Building itsutils.dll from source

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

[Q] porting Snort on Android

Hello all,
Is there a way to port Snort to Android OS? I have already ported
libpcap to Android and I have made some simple native sniffers which worked
perfectly.To do this, I used the NDK development kit that offers you some
tools for cross compiling C programs to ARM architecture.
Is this possible to do it for Snort. I know that Snort is a big project that
contains many source files and uses many modules such as Libpcap, PCRE,
Libdnet, Barnyard2, DAQ. I am wondering if is there a way to build
this code for Android.. E.g. by statically link all this modules.. Moreover an
other potential problem may be the fact that Android uses a subset of libc
(bionic), so maybe some basic functions are not available..
Have anyone done it before? Or, can some one give me some help on how
to start?
Thank you in advance,
Thanasis

[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!

Android OS source code structure/layout details to build your own custom ROM

Is there a resource where I can learn about the source code details of the Android OS itself ? I was a Windows C++ programmer and an currently a Java/J2EE developer. I know absolutely nothing about python except it is a programming language ! Where can I learn more about how all three are laid out to produce a great operating system that I want to modify?
Thanks,
Zvon

Just search for "how to build android from source xda" and you will get good results, https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+build+android+from+source+xda, you should take some from here and there, as there's not a definitely one guide, also, you could start or add more from https://wiki.lineageos.org/build_guides
