GTA04 Build¶

This explains how to build Replicant for the GTA04.

Prerequisites¶

Before building, you must make sure that:

• You have installed the build dependencies: BuildDependenciesInstallation
• You have downloaded Replicant 4.2 sources: ReplicantSourceCode
• Your sources are up to date: Downloading/Updating the source from the repos
• Your terminal is running in the directory where the sources were downloaded

Warning¶

Do not build as root, always build as user.

Building¶

Setup the build environment:

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch replicant_gta04-userdebug
export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME

Start the build:

parallel_tasks=$(echo "$(grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l ) + 1" | bc)
make -j$parallel_tasks bootable bacon

The -jn argument is to indicate the number of parallel tasks during the build.
You can remove it from the command line to have only one task at a time. With fast hardware, best results will come with -j9, -j16 and -j32.

Output files¶

The produced files are located at:

• built target images: out/target/product/gta04/
• built host tools: out/host/linux-x86/bin/
