Replicant

== Required Packages ==

 * bison

 * flex

 * git (git-core)

 * gperf

 * libncurses development headers (libncurses-dev)

 * make (build-essential)

 * mksquashfs (squashfs-tools)

 * openjdk

 * pngcrush - the build process will complain if it is not installed but builds will complete.

 * wget (or curl)

 * zip

 * zlib development headers (zlib1g-dev)

=== Additional requirements for amd64 ===

 * libc6-dev-i386

 * gcc-multilib

 * lib32ncurses5-dev

 * 32-bit compatibility libraries

 * If you see errors about incompatible library versions, you may need some symlinks. For example:

   * sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6.0.14 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so

   * sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libz.so.1.2.3.4 /usr/lib32/libz.so

== 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 ..

}}}

Get replicant 2.2

{{{

 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 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 build errors.

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