[How To] Setup ABE For Compiling Android Roms From Source (CM11) UPDATED 11/1/14

Setup ABE (Android Build Environment To Compile Roms) ​
For this you tutorial you need to be running Ubuntu 13.10 64-Bit (32-Bit Will Not Work).
Does Not Matter if you are running this in a virtual machine or not. (Will work on Both)
Also I will also be showing a Guide to Syncing CM11 Repo and TamsuiCM11 Repo.
Instructions (Read Carefully):
First, let's set up the correct JDK.
Many of you probably have some kind of wrong Java installed unless you're starting with a fresh Ubuntu base, and even then maybe.
Let's get rid of that. Copy and paste this into a Terminal window:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
Follow the instructions to remove OpenJDK. If you must keep it, it's possible. But I'm not going to tell you how to do it here. I don't want any chance of confusion or mistake.
Now copy and paste the following into the Terminal:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
This will add the correct PPA to your system for updated builds of Java 6 JDK that are compatible with 13.10. No more unrecognized Java version errors! And it will update automatically with the rest of your system.
Next, we actually need to install the package. More copy-paste:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Ok, back to a fresh Terminal prompt. Time for installing the guts to build stuff in Ubuntu:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core lzop ccache gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python gcc g++ cpp gcc-4.8 g++-4.8
When that is done installing, run the following command in your Terminal window:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
That's it on the package side of things.
You guessed it, time for more Terminal. This really is the easiest way, seriously. And it's totally worth it when you're basking in the glory of a bunch of people on XDA.
The binary for a program called "repo" will let you talk to git servers and download all that precious source code. That second part after the && allows it to be executable:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Use your favorite text editor to open ~/.bashrc
I like nano:
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
At the very bottom, add the following line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
In the terminal, navigate to where you would like to store the Android source code. The directions below will make it in your home folder, but if you have limited space, you may want to create it somewhere else. Faster is better, i.e. SSD would be best, USB external is basically unusable. Here we go:
Code:
mkdir ~/cm11
cd ~/cm11
We will configure your information, your name and email address, In terminal type:
Code:
git config --global user.name your name
git config --global user.email your email
Now you're going to initialize the repo. Here's where you decide the flavor of Android you want to build for, ie AOKP, CyanogenMod, AOSP etc. The following, for the purposes of this tutorial, will initialize for Stable CM11:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b stable/cm-11.0
Almost there. Last step, but it's a doozy. You're going to get the source. Prepare yourself, mere mortal. 10+ GB of downloading await you. Don't worry, it's automated. Go to sleep. Eat something. Perhaps you have heard of this new thing the kids are doing called "going outside"? Yeah, I didn't think so. Me neither. The final terminal command, to be run from your android directory:
Code:
repo sync
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that is done its time to Sync TamsuiCM11 Repo:
Go into your file browser and to your username then your cm11 folder, once there press Ctrl+H on your keyboard. Go into the folder .repo and make a folder called:
Code:
local_manifests
Once done exit out of the repo folder and press Ctrl+H on your keyboard once again.
Now its time you configure the local manifest, this will download all necessary files for the devices in this forum.
Type this in terminal:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
[B]breakfast jlo[/B] (For Xperia J) [B]tapioca[/B] (For Xperia Tipo) [B]mesona[/B] (For Xperia Miro) [B]nanhu_ds[/B] (For Xperia E)
gedit ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
Now go to this link: https://github.com/TamsuiCM11/local_manifest/blob/master/tamsui.xml
Copy everything in the file into the open window of gedit hit save and close.
Go back to Terminal and type:
Code:
repo sync
This will download all necessary files, once done type the following into terminal:
Code:
cd ~/cm11/vendor/cm
. get-prebuilts
croot
Finally type:
Code:
[B]brunch jlo[/B] (For Xperia J) [B]tapioca[/B] (For Xperia Tipo) [B]mesona[/B] (For Xperia Miro) [B]nanhu_ds[/B] (For Xperia E
It will begin to build, if you run into any errors, do some research before creating tons of threads.
THANK ME IF I HELPED!

Thanks a lot for the how to. I'm just "syncing" (don't know if this is how it is said, just entered the command that downloads 10Gb) and it is doing the job! Don't know why this has only 5 "thanks", I found it very useful!!
JUST ONE QUESTION!! If I type breakfast tapioca it gives me "no such file or directory" error. If I type "tapioca_ss" it gives me no problems. Is it right?
Thanks

In your home folder, look in cm11/devices. If there's a folder called tapioca_ss, then you need to use tapioca_ss. If there's a folder called tapioca, then you need to use tapioca.
Yes, this guide is very useful, but unfortunately, you can only thank a post once (I did)!

One last question (new it's true lol): I get "make" errors (ERROR 1) when compiling audio drivers. I don't know why, but I'm trying to repeat the how to as root!

I don't think you should do this as root; I've seen some guides that say doing so might deter the building process.
And you're welcome.

Problem building Resurrection Remix for Z5P

Hi, I want to make RR for our Z5 Premium; using the CTXz GUIDE and Resurrection one
Everything works great, 'til final building
I just mark the step in case i'm not doing it right
1. OpenJDK
2. Necessaries 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 maven schedtool
I type the whole line in terminal
3. Set up cache, then reboot
4. Git config' (Username + Email)
5. Creation of "Bin" folder into my /home/myname/ and changing permissions of it
6. Now I create "RR" in /home/myname/
7. I switch to this folder (cd ~/RR/)
8. repo init the RR sources
Code:
repo init -u [url]https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest.git[/url] -b marshmallow
9. repo sync (Waaaaaiting)
10. Once it's done, I have to deal with Z5 files (I suppose this is the part where something goes wrong)
Code:
cd /.repo
Code:
git clone https://github.com/Sony-Kitakami/and..._manifests.git local_manifests
11. cd to go to /RR/ then
Code:
repo sync --force-sync
12.
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
3.
Code:
lunch cm_satsuki-userdebug
14.
Code:
mka clobber && mka bacon
15. the rom seems in build (many lines of code)
At the end it wrote an error message, and in ~/RR/out/target/product/satsuki/
I only get 3 folders like
system (ridiculous size -> 28.7ko)
obj
root
& 2 .mk files
The problem comes from the step I add Sony files ? , I probably didn't make it right :/
Thanks in advance to anyone who will lose his time with me <3

@Albe96, credits also for @regalstreak, before I dropped in with my server and the automation, he was the one slogging his butt and assembling all links. Even that automation was his idea.
Edit: And please don't use bold unnecessarily on your thread, makes it look cheapskate. Just my two cents

And set the size to 3 for good reading. Works best with guides
Just 1/2 of my cent

No!And use compressed .repo source to build a rom.don't use non-repo one.You should get error.After downloading the .repo source of the rom which you gonna build use @jackeagle's guide to build rom from source.

Use any boot image unpacking tool (I recommend osm0sis' Android Image Kitchen) to unpack the boot.img and obtain boot.img-zImage from it. Rename to zImage and place it in your device tree and add
Code:
TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := device/<vendor>/<codename>/zImage
To your BoardConfig.mk

Thanks man.. You are the life saver... But tell me one thing that can I use the stock boot.img?? I have read somewhere that we need permissive kernel but the boot.img contains an enforcing kernel. And if not then what modifications should I do to make it work?? Well I am on an exynos device.. (galaxy j2 SM-J200G) Codename: j2lte

[Completed] how do i get my hands on the s5 binaries for sm-g900t ofr klte , .sh files?

I'm trying my hand at compiling nougat /cm14 for klte but I need klte or sm-g900t (or sm-g900t1) samsung galaxy S5 (snapdragon) driver binaries. Where to find. Ps thank you again for the the help in the past.and all that you do.
I believe the files i need are .sh files for the S5, but i'm not able to locate them so far.

Ok So my builds failed yesterday.
Today I m starting over. I mean completely.
I deleted the VM and reinstalled
I've got my plan for the build environment and how to set up. I'm still stuck at how I'm going to add the cm14 klte repo that I have git cloned
To the android nougat source repo.

#The next step is optional, but can offer significant performance gains while compiling, by using ccache (a compiler
#cache tool), which caches the output of the compiler, to save time when compiling a file which has not been changed
#since the last compile.
#To enable ccache, edit your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile file (or equivalent), and add the following line
export USE_CCACHE=1
#After you log out and back in again, this change will take effect.
#By default, the Android build process creates a subfolder named “out” within the root of your source tree. While for
#most users this is best, in some situations it can be advantageous to move the output directory to another file system.
#If, for example, you have a striped RAID array, it is beneficial to store the output directory on this array. All of the
#files within the out directory can be re-generated in the event of filesystem problems (if the sources were held on
#another filesystem).
#To change the output directory to another filesystem, use the command
export OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE= "********"
#Within the defined output directory, a new folder will be created, named after your current source tree directory. For
#instance, if you have source trees as /source/master1 and /source/master2 and OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE is set to /output, the
#output directories will be/output/master1 and /output/master2.
#It is therefore important to ensure you do not have multiple sources stored in directories with the same name, as they
#would end up sharing an output directory, with unpredictable results.
#This is only supported when building Jelly Bean (4.1) and newer.

*****still experimenting with bash, still have a few problems to successfully compile the rom,... will update if i find something

Move Home Ubuntu Directory
I can move ubuntu home directory from C to another drive?

@IacobIonut-DW
i am afraid you cant change it,.... there are duplicate files in ubuntu example lxss\text.txt & lxss Text.txt
if you try to copy the folder you will get a error message

It seems interesting I'm going to try it and will give you my feedback .
BTW , I've ubuntu installed along side with windows can I the files on ubuntu partition with the bash installed on windows ?

@LahKeda
No you can't read that drive

Nice to see that guide, great work!
But I am stuck at this point currently: stackoverflow | Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, Compile AOSP.
My strace file says about the same thing.
Did you find any solution to this?

@Spartaner25
did you try to edit files of linux or files of your build in windows???

Wow thanks!
But one question: Is it just another virtualization ? I mean is it faster than an Ubuntu installed inside a VM ?

For performance of bash on windows vs native Ubuntu read this

I did not touch any files of the linux base (lxss) in either the windows explorer or the bash and I did not modified anything inside the Windows Folder.
But I upgraded the system via apt update/upgrade which should not be destructive (I hope).
My target was a regular aosp build with the tag android-6.0.1_r58, I only changed a few linies in some files in frameworks/base via nano and added a device and kernel folder which was all done inside the bash.

Try building only the kernel and see if it builds correctly!!

Thanks for the hint, the kernel builds fine.
By the way, building CyanogenMod gets stuck here for me.

Windows Insider Preview for those in Fast Ring
Ubuntu 16.04 Arrives With New Windows 10 Build 14936
change log

I'm currently on this version with ubuntu 16.04 and it's getting better.
Currently the build (aosp and cm) ist stuck on the bison binary which is a prebuilt 32-bit ELF, which can not be executed.
It might be possible to replace the prebuilts with their 64-bit variants.

@chiragkrishna upon using
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 python-networkx
I get the following errors: Unable to locate package zip, lib32ncurses5-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev.
Edit: Fixed by removing the '\' from all lines.

does anyone know how to solve this error?
ionice: ioprio_set failed: Invalid argument

I have been able to successfully build cm-13.0 on Windows 10. I haven't been successful with cm-12.1, since it builds 32-bit binaries for the host executables for some reason.
The fixes I had to do:
Recompile flex and bison as 64-bit binaries according to the instructions in their source directory (github btongminh/android_prebuilts_misc)
Disable futexes in Art (github btongminh/android_art)
Disable v8 snapshots, since it is only possible to make snapshots for 32-bit targets on a 32-bit host (github btongminh/android_v8)
The build for Xiaomi Redmi 3 (ido) was successful, flashed it and it booted into Android Unfortunately after that the launcher kept on crashing, but is looks like I'm almost there.

Build with "make bacon" instead of brunch or mka

How do you make a user build signed with release keys instead of a userdebug build signed with testkeys??
EDIT: Well my normal make build failed
Please note I'm trying to compile Lineage OS 14.1

It looks like I'm having the same error as this person. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage/help/building-lineageos-cancro-xiaomi-mi3w-t3530766

What Java version are you using (java -v). LineageOS 14.1 requires Java 1.8.
