Replicant

Build dependencies¶

Make sure you installed the BuildDependencies.

Warning¶

Do not build as root, always build as user.

Setup¶

Get and install the repo tool

 mkdir bin
 cd bin
 wget http://android.git.kernel.org/repo
 chmod a+x repo
 cd ..

 mkdir replicant-2.2
 cd replicant-2.2
 ../bin/repo init -u git://gitorious.org/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-2.2
 ../bin/repo sync

Each time you want to build replicant 2.2¶

cd ~/replicant-2.2
 ../bin/repo sync
source build/envsetup.sh
export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
lunch replicant_dream_sapphire-eng 
make -j$(echo "$(grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l ) + 1" | bc) distimages  #uses arguments like -j9 to speed up build in case of multi-core cpu

<pre>

You will find your built images in ./out/target/product/dream_sapphire/.

You will also find fastboot, needed to install the images, in ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/.

Now you are ready to "install!":http://trac.osuosl.org/trac/replicant/wiki/Installation
