How do I add a device to the aosp system tree?

I'm trying to build a custom rom using custom device Kernel and Vendor directories of my device that have been ported to android 4.0.4
and was wondering how to get aosp to recognise them.
When I run build/envsetup.sh it loads my device and the lunch command recognised it. ( iv added my device dirs everywhere I can think of in the system folder.)
when I go to build it says my device must be defined and I'm unsure of how to do this. this is my first time trying to build a from from source and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Could someone in detail explain how to add my device properly?
The name of my device is ancora_tmo

Maybe you can trie to use this
Put you device tree in the [RED](working[/RED] directory)/device/samsung/ancora_tmo
[RED]. Build/envsetup.sh [/RED]
Then
[RED]lunch full_ancora_tmo-userdebug[/RED]
Then proceed with the build

[Q] Compiling perf tool for arm

I am trying to compile perf tool for arm. I have followed the instructions provided in the tool (tools/perf in the linux kernel and also tried compiling it in external/linux-tools-perf). I am getting errors like:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${NDK_TOOLCHAIN} CFLAGS="--sysroot=${NDK_SYSROOT}"
Makefile:409: No libdw.h found or old libdw.h found or elfutils is older than 0.138, disables dwarf support. Please install new elfutils-devel/libdw-dev
Makefile:424: *** No gnu/libc-version.h found, please install glibc-dev[el]/glibc-static. Stop.
But, when I try to compile it for x86 in linux kernel, there are no issues for x86. Why is that it is very hard for building this tool for arm ?
If anybody has successfully built it, please provide me tips of how to built perf tool for arm.
Thanks,
Malarand

I am also having the same problem
i tried to follow the instructions showed in perf/documentation/android.txt
but i failed with a error saying
Android NDK: NDK_TOOLCHAIN is defined to the unsupported value android-ndk-r9/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-

then later i though this is not gona work like this, as the perf is part of kernel the perf should be built while the kernel source is being compiled so i tried to go to kernel directory there i have run
make -C tools/ perf_install ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

Click to collapse
which again resulted an error saying like yours
Makefile:592: *** No gnu/libc-version.h found, please install glibc-dev[el]/glibc-static. Stop.

DEVS HELP: help to fix error compile rom to osprey

someone could help me with this error from already thank
ERROR: /media/jbcdroid/Backup/CyanPop/vendor/cmsdk/cm/lib/main/java/org/cyanogenmod/platform/internal/CMHardwareService.java:311: The method isSelfManaged() is undefined for the type SunlightEnhancement
full log: http://hastebin.com/iyotixifox.vhdl:crying:

CM Version: 12.1
I have the same problem and got around by doing a "return false" for the method in CMHardwareService.isSunlightEnhancementSelfManaged (instead of the check that happens there, which is
Code:
public boolean isSunlightEnhancementSelfManaged() {
return SunlightEnhancement.isSelfManaged();
}
The code seems to have been introduced as part of this commit ( 49a1ddcf1f90765b1326f6808f227bcf59e446bd on the cm_platform_sdk repo) but I cant find any references of this being implemented in the osprey specific repositories. Only the core implementation (in android_frameworks_opt_hardware/src/org/cyanogenmod/hardware/SunlightEnhancement.java) seems to have this implemented but none of the device specific ones.
Im quite a newbie to building, so please let me know if Im missing something or doing something wrong, but for now, Ive bypassed this to have a successful build.
Note: Cannot post links yet , which is why I had to provide a hash to the commit that lead to this behaviour.
Thanks
