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
