HTC Dream Build¶

This explains how to build Replicant for the HTC Dream.

Prerequisites¶

Before building, you must make sure:

• You have installed the BuildDependencies
• You have downloaded Replicant 2.2 sources: GettingReplicantSources
• Your sources are up to date: Downloading/Updating the source from the repos
• You are 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_dream_sapphire-eng
export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME

Start the build:

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

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.

Each time you want to build replicant 2.2¶

cd ~/replicant-2.2
 ../bin/repo sync
source build/envsetup.sh

lunch replicant_dream_sapphire-eng 

<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
