[DEV GUIDE] Build CM7 from source in its current state. Updated: 2011/05/16-23:52

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING:
We are changing to a new build system which will result in an updated but VERY different ROM underneath the hood. There is a HIGH POSSIBILITY that building in the current state could BRICK your device, potentially PERMANENTLY. PLEASE DO NOT FLASH unless you are HIGHLY confident you know what you're doing.
For kernel building, see post #2.
For known issues and changelog, see post #3.
Kanged from the CM-Wiki. Yes it's a wiki, yes I could have created an epic page, but we aren't official yet.
Install ADB
Install the Android SDK.
Install the Build Packages
Install using the package manager of your choice:
For 32-bit & 64-bit systems:
Code:
git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
For 64-bit only systems:
Code:
g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
NOTE: On Ubuntu 10.10, and variants, you need to enable the parter repository to install sun-java6-jdk:
Code:
add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"
Create the Directories
You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.
To create them:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
Install the Repository
Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:
Code:
curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
NOTE: You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect.
Now enter the following to initialize the repository:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/EpicCM/android.git -b teamhacksung-merge
repo sync -j16
Download RomManager and Google Files
NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to RomManager or GoogleApps is released. If you are up-to-date, you may skip to Building CyanogenMod.
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
./build.sh prepare
Building CyanogenMod
First, check for updates in the source:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
repo sync
Configure Build & Compile
Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM compiled, from code, for the epic.
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
. build/envsetup.sh
./build.sh epic
Build failed? Check post #3 for common problems and solutions.
Install
1. The build system should create a flashable zipfile. Place it on the root of your sdcard.
Optional: Download Google Apps for CyanogenMod 7 and place it on the root of the SD card.
2. Boot into a custom recovery like ClockworkMod Recovery and flash the CM7 update.zip. Then flash google apps if you like.
Please don't flash yet, unless you want an expensive doorstop.

This section of the guide will inform you on how to build a CM7-compatible kernel using our github sources.
Download the Code
Due to the way the new build system works, you'll need the entire CM source to build a proper kernel. (Sorry)
Follow the steps in post #1 to initialize and download our entire CM source repository.
Keeping your code up-to-date:
Code:
cd ~/android/system
repo sync
Toolchain setup
The new build system automatically utilizes the toolchain included in CM7 source.
Prepare to build
The kernel build script requires a few environment vars be set by the CM build system.
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cyanogen_epic-eng
Compile the kernel
Code:
cd ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/2.6.35/
./build.sh epic
cd ~/android/system/releasetools/
./kernel.sh epic
You should now have a flashable zip in out/target/product/epic/
Please don't flash yet, unless you want an expensive doorstop.
This is also incompatible with stock roms, and unless you're amazing, never will be compatible.

KNOWN BUILD-TIME ISSUES
WARNING: These fixes may cause your repo to become out-of-sync from the official repo. Make sure you know how to revert these changes so repo sync doesn't fail.
Error: New build does not boot.
Fix: Working on it
KNOWN RUN-TIME ISSUES
Will update this when it runs.
GUIDE CHANGELOG:
20110516-2352: New build system from teamhacksung.
20110506-1842: Switched to our forks of teamhacksung work.

yes, that's something that we can't easily fix in our own device repo. you could always remove the crespo folder as a temporary fix, but we need to push a patch upstream that fixes crespo makefiles. I will be adding this to known issues shortly.

So my windows seven crashed on me and I'm gonna go with Ubuntu 10.10 for now
I can play with this on that Linux install, correct?

Yes, it's mentioned in the instructions.
Alternatively, you can use VMWare to do compiling from Windows. That's how I'd set up my old development system. There are tons of free Ubuntu 10.10 vm images.

Updated. Sorry for the mistake in Copy Proprietary Files. That should fix a compile error related to libcamera.

Any clue what causes a build to fail due to unable to dopen system/lib/egl/libandroid_servers.so. When I build with boardconfig has generic audio I'm fine, when I set has galaxys audio it fails

Audio in and out works if you leave it at default values.
If you absolutely want to compile with galaxys audio, it looks like ./extract-files.sh might not be pulling that file? Check ~/android/system/vendor/samsung/epic/proprietary/lib/egl/ for that file.

Thanks for the heads up, no the fileisn't in egl and from what I can tell its not supposed to be.

HOWTO: Compile your own kernel from source (WIP)

Updated. You can find an easier to use and more up to date version here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8824-howto-compile-your-own-kernel-v-01/
Hey folks,
Figured I would throw this out there for those who may want to know just what goes into compiling a kernel, and possibly, doing it themselves. This is a WIP, and is more about how to compile, than how to make changes to source or customize your own kernel.
Needed:
Linux. For this case, we will assume Ubuntu 10.10, 64 bit. This can be done with 32 bit as well, but you will need a different cross compiler.
Download | Ubuntu
dsixda's kitchen. So that we can easily split and repack kernels.
https://github.com/dsixda/Android-Kitchen/archives/master
Source. You can use mine. Its fairly heavily tweaked, and compiles without any modifcations.
https://github.com/adrynalyne/kernel_htc-mecha
A cross compiler toolchain. Because I use 64 bit linux, I use a 64 bit cross compiler.
http://rapidshare.com/files/394529815/HikaRi_toolchain_4.4.4.tbz2

Introduction
First, we install Ubuntu. I won't be going through that, however. So, assuming we have Ubuntu already installed, and working, we are ready to dive right in.
First, we need a tool Ubuntu does not install by default. This is called git. From a terminal:
Getting Source Code
sudo apt-get install git
Once git is installed, we can grab our source. Using a terminal:
[[email protected] ~]$
code
Code:
mkdir android
cd android
mkdir kernels
cd kernels
git clone git://github.com/adrynalyne/kernel_htc-mecha.git
Depending on your connection, this could take a while.
This will create a kernel_htc-mecha directory under your /home/username/android/kernels folder.
Grabbing Toolchain
Now we will grab the toolchain. Download it, decompress it, and just leave it in the 4.4.4 directory. Move it to your android directory.
Grabbing and setting up the kitchen
Download the kitchen from the link given above, and decompress it. Rename it to kitchen. Move it to your android directory. Then from a terminal:
code
Code:
cd ~/android/kitchen
chmod 755 menu
./menu
This installs the kitchen and starts it up. Now the first thing we need to do is setup a working directory. Take a rom, any rom, and copy it to the ogiinal_update folder inside the kitchen. You can then setup your working folder.
Inside the working folder, delete boot.img. Grab, one of say, my kernels, and extract it. Take boot.img from the extracted contents and copy to the kitchen.
To split the initramfs (ramdisk) from the kernel, simply choose 0 from the menu, then 20. Hitting w will extract the kernel to a BOOT-EXTRACTED directory inside the kitchen (not working folder). Inside that folder, you will find the ramdisk and a zImage. The zImage is the kernel. We will stop there for now.
Compiling the kernel
First, we move to the kernel directory.
code
Code:
cd ~/android/kernels/kernel_htc-mecha
To compile the kernel, first we must have a configuration file ready. To do this:
code
Code:
make mecha-lte_defconfig
It will configure the system for compiling.
Now to compile the kernel:
code
Code:
make -j5 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/username/android/4.4.4/bin/arm-none-eabi-
Where username is your, well, username and the number after j (thats a J) is the number of cpus +1.
Depending on the speed of your system. a zImage should be created within 3-30 minutes.
Packing the kernel
The zImage will be located under ~/android/kernels/kernel_htc-mecha/arch/arm/boot directory.
We will copy that zImage into the BOOT-EXTRACTED directory of the kitchen. Then, back at our menu for the kitchen, we hit 'b' to build the kernel. Within seconds, there is a new boot.img inside our Working folder. Now, remember my kernel package you downloaded? Well, time to kang the installer! The directory you unzipped contains a META-INF and system directory. You need both of those. Copy the boot.img in with those two folders.
So, our directory layout currently looks like so:
META-INF
system
boot.img
We need one more file, the wifi driver, from our compiled source.
Under ~/android/kernels/kernel_htc-mecha/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329_204 you will find a file named bcm4329.ko. Copy this into system/lib of your new kernels installer directory.
Zip these three folders and give it a name. Now its ready to install.
A couple of things of note:
You almost always have to match the wifi driver with the kernel.
make clean mrproper will clean all the precompiled and temp fikes out of your source. This is recommended when making major source changes. Don't forget to remake your configuration after running it though.
Troubleshooting
There may be some files not found errors. Please be careful with these commands.
If the files not found are libcloog.so.0 and/or libmpfr.so.1, take a look below.
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcloog-debian.so.0 /usr/lib/libcloog.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.4 /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1

Thank you so much for spending the time to write this, i have been googleing this and your write up is the best ive found.
I know this is a work in progress, but some ideas for future revisions, at least things that I have been wondering,
The files tweaked for overclocking, undervolting, and maybe some explanations on what goes into this.
Important files and maybe files we should not touch, (if there are any).
Just things I have wondered.
Thank you again!!!

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to write this up. Some of us really do appreciate it!

Go to /usr/lib and tell me what the name of libcloog.so.? Is. There are bound to be growing pains with this, as I originally used Fedora 64 bit when I did this. Still, its doable on Ubuntu, because I have this same toolchain on Arch as well.
Let me know what the name of that file is. I will help all I can.

Trying to run kitchen , when trying to setup working folder it doesnt appear to do anything, I hit 1 and it just sits there. I hit 0 for advanced options and it just sits there.
I have a rom in the right folder as a zip and extracted.
edit: guess you cant extract in windows and copy the files over .

You need the lib32 stuff installed for Ubuntu. Not sure why, as its a 64 bit toolchain. I'm using full 64 bit Arch Linux and don't need to.

[Tutorial] Building CyanogenMod for G2x

My other tutorial for building CM for Nexus One
Last tested on 8/8/2011
This tutorial is basically my Nexus One tutorial altered to support the G2x. This tutorial requires a basic to intermediate knowledge of linux terminal commands. First you will need to be running the latest CM nightly. Then you will need to install Ubuntu 11.04. This tutorial will work for if you are running Ubuntu in a virtual machine and if you installed it to your hard drive. I have tested this by installing it to my hard drive and in a virtual machine, but I have not tried it in Wubi but it should work. You need 11.04 64 bit.
How to install Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
After you have installed Ububtu, make sure that your OS is up to date. You can do that by running the Update Manager from the System>Administration menu. Once that is completed, go to Applications>Accessories and open Terminal.
Now you will be setting up your build environment.
Next lets open a terminal. Copy and paste the following into terminal.
(Copy from this tutorial with control+c and paste in terminal with control+shift+v)
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev gitg qt3-dev-tools libqt3-mt-dev eclipse valgrind pngcrush schedtool
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk && sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
Now you will be installing ADB
Download the sdk from the android website (use the Linux download) http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
extract the sdk to your ~/ directory (home directory). So you should be able to go to a terminal and cd ~/AndroidSDK/platform-tools to access your platform-tools folder in your sdk. After that, update your android sdk by opening terminal and run:
Code:
~/AndroidSDK/tools/./android
Open the terminal, and type gedit .bashrc and at the top of the file, paste this (replacing user with your username)
Code:
#AndroidDev PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/user/AndroidSDK/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/user/AndroidSDK/tools
This will make ADB, Fastboot and DDMS available from the terminal on next login.
Now, to make the device available to normal users, open a terminal and type
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Then paste
Code:
SUBSYSTEMS == "usb", ATTRS {idVendor} == "18d1", ATTRS {idProduct} == "4E11", MODE = "0666"
SUBSYSTEMS == "usb", ATTRS {idVendor} == "18d1", ATTRS {idProduct} == "4e12", MODE = "0666"
SUBSYSTEMS == "usb", ATTRS {idVendor} == "0bb4", ATTRS {idProduct} == "0FFF", MODE = "0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS(idVendor)=="18d1",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666"
Save and exit.
Ensure that the rules are executable:
Code:
sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/*
Then type
Code:
sudo restart udev
You should restart your computer (or virtual machine) right now to ensure that everything is running properly.
Note: idVendor may vary. Use lsusb from the terminal, look for your Android device and replace “0bb4″ with the first 4 characters after “ID”.
If ADB is still not working, read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533 and http://alan.lamielle.net/2010/01/22/nexus-one-usb-in-ubuntu-9-10
You should now have a fully working android build environment.
Now before you begin getting and building the source, make sure that you are on the latest CM7 nightly and have the latest gapps from Rom Manager.
Now to setup the CyanogenMod build environment and to build it
Enter the following lines in terminal:
Code:
cd ~/
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/cm7
cd ~/bin
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
cd ~/
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
PATH="$HOME/AndroidSDK/platform-tools:$PATH"
PATH="$HOME/AndroidSDK/tools:$PATH"
cd ~/cm7
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
Press enter and enter the information it asks for.
The next command will download all of the CM source. It will take at least a few hours or more depending on your internet speed.
Code:
repo sync -j16
After the sync, plug your phone in, and run adb devices and if your phone is listed, continue. Otherwise, go back and make sure you have properly installed adb and the drivers.
Plug your phone in, copy the following commands into terminal, and press enter.
Code:
cd ~/cm7/device/lge/p999/
./extract-files.sh
cd ~/cm7/vendor/cyanogen/
./get-rommanager
./get-google-files
now you your CM build environment is complete.
Warning: Building CM pushes your computer to the max your cpu can handle. Make sure that your computer can handle compiling CM. If It cannot, DO NOT DO THIS.
To build, just run(use this command every time you want to build CM):
**** Here is a new updated command to build CM****
Code:
cd ~/cm7 && make clean && repo sync -j6 && . build/envsetup.sh && brunch p999
If you come across any problems while syncing use repo sync -f -j6 -d and it will force sync and override any changes made to the source on your computer.
and it will make an update.zip in ~/cm7/out/target/product/p999/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-G2x-signed.zip (or whatever the latest RC is)
Congratulations you have just compiled CyanogenMod for the G2x!
Possible causes if the build fails:
1. Make sure you followed the directions precisely.
2. Try all three of the build commands.
3. If you changed any of the code, make sure it has no errors. Open it up in eclipse and check for errors.
4. Search Google and XDA.
**If you are getting a problem with getting the gapps, it it because of the CM gapps mirror system.
1. download and install the latest gapps

that's good. Thank you

Nice... Ive been always wondering how to do that... Time to start tonight
Any news if there is some kind of an online kitchen for the g2x that is not cm7 based?

Very nice. Thanks for updating your guide for the G2x.

I followed all of your steps but am getting the adb not found or whatever error when trying to run adb devices, or any adb command for that matter. I tried as root, and as a normal user and nothing worked.
Anyone else have this issue?

First, make sure that you did downloaded and extracted the Linux version of the Android SDK. Second, verify that the path to the directory where the adb command is correct. Third, check if the adb command is indeed present in that directory. If it's not in platform-tools directory then you need to run the ./android command and update the SDK.

I downloaded and extracted my SDK to my home folder, and when i checked to see if the adb command was there it was not, so i am now getting everything i think i need from running the android command. Could it be because im on 32 bit? And it says you need 64? Or is that only to compile? I'd like to compile but i really just want ADB working.

I don't think it had to do with you being on a 32 bit. I think it had to do with the archive file not really having the adb command. You have to update the SDK first to get it. I may be wrong but if you want, you can inspect the contents of the archive file that you've downloaded to verify if it's really there. I've experienced the same thing that's why I was able to addressed your issues earlier.
If you want to compile then you need the 64 bit version as stated by the OP.

You're welcome! That's what the XDA community (help one another) is all about.
I wouldn't even try compiling not unless you've got the 64 bit version. I think it became a requirement with Gingerbread.

O and BTW for the code,
Code:
cd ~/cm7/device/htc/p999/
you will need to change it to
Code:

because HTC did not make the p999, LG did. but other than that everything has gone smooth.

Yeah I caught that one too. And after cloning the git repository for CM7, you can definitely see that there's no p999 directory under htc. And lastly, as you've pointed out p999 was from lge (LG Electronics).

yeah that how i got it to. And i dont really recommend using 32 bit because the guide says to use 64 but i already had 32 installed and didnt want to wipe that partition and reinstall 64 bit so i tried compiling on 32 bit and it worked fine. had no problems at all with compiling it or flashing it. But im just giving that information out for anyone who wants to compile and already has 32.

CROSS COMPILE path not found ?!

I've set up a VM build environment using Ubuntu with the aim of building kernel modules for my Samsung S3. Particularly interested in the asix
ethernet module so I can use this USB Ethernet adapter. Kevinf28 has very kindly assisted to provide initial builds of the module and prove that
it works. ( see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131825) However, it needs to be rebuilt when a new ROM is released, and I
therefore want to create my own build environment. I have everything setup using git, have cloned the tool chains etc from git and have the kernel source ready to go from samsung. I can create the config file for the make, but then the build fails with the following. This seems very odd as the file its saying it cant find is clearly there! Any ideas ? I'm new to building kernels in linux. The output below was an attempt to build a CM10 version, but the same error occurs when building a samsung one.

I actually have the exact same problem. I can't build as root or as a standard user. No matter what I do, it won't compile ( running a VM just like the OP).

I don't think so, I've built a kernel several times on a virtual machine (virtualbox)

Well the fix for the OP is to use the toolchains fixed path instead of the relative path. I was curious as to what the other gentleman's error was.

I still cant get this to run - even following the instructions above.

I could try as a user and shift everything across from the root home, but not sure that this will make a difference.... ?

Can you answer my question about why you were running as root in the first place? It is not needed so I want to know what circumstances lead up to this. Also now why is it failing? Same error? If so you got the path to the toolchain wrong.

No real reason to run as root - just that the instructions that I was following had it as root.
As far as the path being wrong - have a look back through my code snippets - I'm sure it isnt unless you can spot something I cant.....

Yes - the vm is 64bit. Could that be why? Does the kernel only compile on 32bit?

Nope it will build, but do you have ia32-libs install? Any other toolchains on the machine?

I've tried to install ia32-libs but I get lots of dependancy errors that Ive not been able to fix. As its a VM and easy to rebuild, I'm downloading the 32bit version and will see if I have any better results.
I've swapped my S3 for a Note2 - so will have a go at building the modules for that once I have the VM up again.

Looks like I may havce sorted this - i added in the CROSS_COMPILE= statement statement to the make command - like in (4) here: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source
Seems to be building ok now - but will see if it completes ok.
I reinstalled the VM with everything in a user home area rather than using /root/ - but the user is admin anyway so I dont suppose this will have made a difference.

[GUIDE] Building Pure Nexus

Introduction
Hello everyone, this is a guide to get you up and running with your own build of Pure Nexus for the Nexus 5X. In this thread, you will learn how to get your computer set up to build and the commands you will need to run. Please read the entire guide and the FAQ. Additionally, this is a developer's thread, there should be no off topic discussion.
Compilation Guide
This is available on my Github, where it may be a little more up to date.
0. Getting started
In this guide, I will go over how to build Pure Nexus on your Linux machine. This particular tutorial will focus on Ubuntu 16.04 as that is what I use (Mint 18 is also good) but this should work with any version of Linux; it does need to be 64-bit however. I will leave the installation of that up to you, Google is a wonderful resource. If you don't have a good computer but still want to build, check out this thread on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-how-to-build-rom-google-cloud-t3360430
1. Set up your environment
1. Automatically
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core
git clone https://github.com/akhilnarang/scripts
cd scripts
ls
bash <script-name>
<script-name> should be one of the scripts in the folder for your particular architecture.
2. Manually
1. Install Java 8
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
2. Install other build tools
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev ccache libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip
2. Configure repo and git
If you have any problems with the below commands, try running as root:
Code:
sudo -s
Git is an open source version control system which is incredibly robust for tracking changes across repositories. Repo is Google's tool for working with Git in the context of Android. More reading if you are interested: https://source.android.com/source/developing.html
Run these commands to get repo working (only do this if you did the manual set up method above:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Run these commands to get git working:
Code:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
3. Download the source
First, before downloading the source, create a folder for the source and move into it.
Code:
mkdir ~/<foldername> (eg. mkdir ~/PN or ~/PureNexus)
cd ~/<foldername>
Then, we need to grab the manifest and sync down the repositories. Here are the commands to do this for Pure Nexus for Nougat (make sure you are in the source folder you made above):
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/PureNexusProject/manifest.git -b n
repo sync --force-sync
Here is the process generally for other ROMs:
When you go to build a ROM, you must download its source. All, if not most, ROMs will have their source code available on Github. To properly download the source, follow these steps:
Go to your ROM's Github (e.g. http://github.com/PureNexusProject)
Search for a manifest (usually called manifest or android_manifest).
Go into the repo and make sure you are in the right branch (located right under the Commits tab).
Go into the README and search for a repo init command. If one exists, copy and paste it into the terminal and hit enter.
If one does not exist, you can make one with this formula:
Code:
repo init -u <url_of_manifest_repo>.git -b <branch_you_want_to_build>
For example:
Code:
repo init -u http://github.com/PureNexusProject/manifest.git -b n
After the repo has been initialized, run this command to download the source:
Code:
repo sync --force-sync
This process can take a while depending on your internet connection.
4. Build it!
At this point, it'd be a good idea to set up ccache. ccache is a compiler cache, it stores previously compiled files in a directory and pulls from that instead of recompiling if nothing has changed. This speeds up compilation a LOT. If you want to use it, follow the below steps:
Open up your .bashrc file in your home directory using a text editor or nano and append this to the end of it:
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
Then type:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
After that, run one of the below command (replacing the # with how many GBs of ccache you want, 50 is recommended)
Use this one if you used the manual method of set up in section 1:
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M #G
Use this one if you used the automatic method of set up in section 1:
Code:
ccache -M #G
After that, it's time to build!
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bullhead
mka bacon
After that, your computer will build the flashable zip file and if you see something that says make completed, you've done it!
Any time that you want to rebuild, type the following commands:
Code:
repo sync --force-sync
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bullhead
mka clobber
mka bacon
I also have a script to do this on my Github here
Frequently Asked Questions
1.1 Q: I got an error, what do I do??
1.1 A: Well to start, if it is anything with Ninja, I would go ahead and disable it. You can add this to your .bashrc file:
Code:
export USE_NINJA=false
Then type this
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bullhead
mka clobber
mka bacon
If it is saying you ran out of memory, follow this post.
If it isn't Ninja related, check out @AzraelsKiss's post here, where he has documented a few common issues. If none of those apply, post here with a detailed list of what you have done and we will do our best to help you.
1.2 Q: Can you guys share your personal builds?
1.2 A: No, personal builds are just that: personal. Beans releases whenever he feels that the release is ready for the masses and if a bunch of personal builds are floating around, that tarnishes the Pure Nexus name. We are more than happy to help get you up and running but we will not be sharing our builds. Thanks for understanding!

Reason being, because if we start compiling these and handing it out like it's no ones business, we're going to run Pure Nexus into the ground and people will start uploading them on AFH and it'll be one big mess. My guess is, this is just a courtesy by the original poster to those of us who can't wait.
My two cents.:laugh::highfive:

i'm on it!!!!! thank you very much!!! download is taking forever ugh

Building it right now! Thanks

I think this would work in Cygwin. I used to compile stuff for the PS3 way back. I'd have a lot of reading to do if I wanted to build this for my phone.

Which gapps to use with this?

Open Gapps micro are working fine.

You can try. Your build times will be much slower though.

I think this would work in Cygwin. I used to compile stuff for the PS3 way back. I'd have a lot of reading to do if I wanted to build this for my phone.

Out of curiosity, realistically how much disk space would be required to download everything and compile with a 50GB cache? I got everything downloaded and the compile ran but threw some warnings (most of which may have been benign). When the compile terminated with an error, I had about 40MB left on my Linux Mint 18 partition so I assume it ran out of space I started with about 70GB free space
I deleted everything and decided to try again if and when I have a larger partition to play with..... I am currently dual booting on a Windows machine and didn't think to allocate that much space to Mint.
