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>

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/.
