HTC Magic Build

This explains how to build Replicant for the HTC Magic.

Prerequisites

Before building, you must make sure:

Warning

Do not build as root, always build as user.

Building

32B devices

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.

32A/EBI1 devices

Setup the build environment:

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch replicant_dream_sapphire_ebi1-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.

Output files

Find the produced files:
  • built target images: out/target/product/dream_sapphire/
  • built host tools: out/host/linux-x86/bin/

For 32A/EBI1 devices, the images to use have the -ebi1 prefix.
