{{{

cd ~/replicant-2.2

 ../bin/repo sync

source build/envsetup.sh

export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME

lunch cyanogen_dream_sapphire-eng 

make -j$(echo "$(grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l ) + 1" | bc) bacon  #uses arguments like -j9 to speed up build in case of multi-core cpu

}}}

Don't forget the bacon at the end, without that you will have some builds errors.

Note that the bacon also produces standard images like system.img, just ship or use the system.img like images
