h1. Build Replicant 6.0
This page explains how to build Replicant 6.0 for supported devices.
h2. Prerequisites
Before building, you must make sure that:
* You have installed the build dependencies: [[Replicant60BuildDependenciesInstallation|Replicant 6.0 build dependencies installation]]
* You have downloaded Replicant 6.0 sources: [[ReplicantSourceCode]]
* Your sources are up to date: [[ReplicantSourceCode#DownloadingUpdating-the-source-code|Downloading/Updating the source from the repos]]
* Your terminal is running in the directory where the sources were downloaded
h2. Warning
*Do not build as root, always build as user.*
See the [[BuildTips|build tips]] if you are facing issues.
h2. Before building
* On Debian stretch, building the toolchain will fail. See [[Replicant60BuildTips#usrbinsed-usrbinmkdir-usrbinmkdir-No-such-file-or-directory]] for how to workaround that and make the build succeed.
h2. Building
All of the following build commands need to be run in the source tree root folder.
h3. Building the toolchain
First, the toolchain needs to be built for replicant 6. To do that *open a new shell* and run the following command:
./vendor/replicant/build-toolchain
h2. Building a Replicant image for a device
Once the toolchain has been built, you can then start building an image for a specific device.
Use the command corresponding to your device in this table to do that:
|_. Device(s) |_. Command |
| Galaxy S 2 (I9100) | ./vendor/replicant/build.sh i9100 |
| Galaxy S 3 (I9300) | ./vendor/replicant/build.sh i9300 |
| Galaxy S 3 4G (I9305) | ./vendor/replicant/build.sh i9305 |
| Galaxy Note (N7000) | ./vendor/replicant/build.sh n7000 |
| Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) | ./vendor/replicant/build.sh n7100 |
| Galaxy Nexus (I9250) | ./vendor/replicant/build.sh maguro |
| Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3100) |/2. ./vendor/replicant/build.sh espresso3g |
| Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5100) |
| Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Wi-Fi (P3110) |/2. ./vendor/replicant/build.sh espressowifi |
| Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wi-Fi (P5110) |
| Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5100) | ./vendor/replicant/build.sh n5100 |
| Galaxy Note 8.0 Wi-Fi (N5110) | ./vendor/replicant/build.sh n5110 |
For instance to build for the Galaxy S3 (I9300) you need to type the following command:
./vendor/replicant/build.sh i9300
The first time you build an image it might ask you a few questions at various points during the build process as it needs then to build the images and generate the necessary signing keys near the end of the building process.
h2. Output files
For the built host tools, the produced files are at: @out/host/linux-x86/bin/@
For the built target images, you can use the following table to find the directory that has the produced files:
|_. Device(s) |_. Output directory |
| Galaxy S 2 (I9100) | out/dist/i9100/ |
| Galaxy S 3 (I9300) | out/dist/i9300/ |
| Galaxy S 3 4G (I9305) | out/dist/i9305/ |
| Galaxy Note (N7000) | out/dist/n7000/ |
| Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) | out/dist/n7100/ |
| Galaxy Nexus (I9250) | out/dist/maguro/ |
| Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3100) |/2. out/dist/espresso3g/ |
| Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5100) |
| Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Wi-Fi (P3110) |/2. out/dist/espressowifi/ |
| Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wi-Fi (P5110) |
| Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5100) | out/dist/n5100/ |
| Galaxy Note 8.0 Wi-Fi (N5110) | out/dist/n5110/ |
For instance, for the Galaxy S 3 (I9300), the built target images are in @out/dist/i9300/@
The file names can change from version to version.
For @Replicant 6.0 0004 RC2@ the zip file name is @replicant-6.0-0004-rc2-i9300.zip@, whereas for @replicant-6.0-dev@ branch or other previous releases the resulting zip file name will be @replicant-6.0-i9300.zip@.
A way to be sure of what file was just built is to use @ls -l@ to show the time which represents the last time of modification:
For instance:
[...]out/dist/i9300$ ls -latr
total 1113288
[...] 6660096 Jan 1 2009 recovery-i9300.img
[...] 4096 Jul 22 00:50 ..
[...] 278175479 Aug 21 04:13 replicant-6.0-0004-rc2-i9300.zip
[...] 565995550 Sep 8 20:01 signed-target_files-i9300.zip
[...] 278261021 Sep 8 20:02 replicant-6.0-i9300.zip
[...] 10889357 Sep 8 20:02 signed-img-i9300.zip
[...] 4096 Sep 8 20:02 .
At the time of writing, it's the 9th September 2020, and I built images yesterday, so the resulting file is @replicant-6.0-i9300.zip@ and not @replicant-6.0-0004-rc2-i9300.zip@.
