Build dependencies
Make sure you installed the [wiki:BuildDependencies].
Warning
'''Do not build as root, always build as user.'''
Setup
Get and install the repo tool:
{{{
mkdir bin
cd bin
wget http://php.webtutor.pl/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/repo
chmod a+x repo
cd ..
}}}
Once kernel.org is back up, repo should be downloaded from http://android.git.kernel.org/repo instead.
Get replicant 2.3:
{{{
mkdir replicant-2.3
cd replicant-2.3
../bin/repo init -u git://gitorious.org/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-2.3
../bin/repo sync
}}}
Each time you want to build replicant 2.3
{{{
cd ~/replicant-2.3
../bin/repo sync
source build/envsetup.sh
export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
lunch replicant_crespo-eng
make -j$(echo "$(grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l ) + 1" | bc) distimages #uses arguments like -j9 to speed up build in case of multi-core cpu
}}}
Note that you can use {{{bacon}}} instead of {{{distimages}}} to produce a more complete set of images, including zip files.
Don't forget the {{{distimages}}}/{{{bacon}}} at the end, without that you will have some build errors.
You will find your built images in ./out/target/product/crespo/.
You will also find fastboot, needed to install the images, in ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/.
Now you are ready to [http://trac.osuosl.org/trac/replicant/wiki/Installation install!]
