h2. Build dependencies

 
Make sure you installed the [[BuildDependencies]].


h2. Warning


*Do not build as root, always build as user.*


h2. Setup

Get and install the repo tool:
<pre>
 mkdir bin
 cd bin
 wget http://php.webtutor.pl/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/repo
 chmod a+x repo
 cd ..
</pre>
Once kernel.org is back up, repo should be downloaded from http://android.git.kernel.org/repo instead.

Get replicant 2.3:
<pre>
 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
</pre>


h2. Each time you want to build replicant 2.3

<pre>
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
</pre>
<pre>
<pre>

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 "install!":http://trac.osuosl.org/trac/replicant/wiki/Installation
