GUIDE How to Setup Ubuntu Preconfigured Android Compile Environment v2 1 1
GUIDE How to Setup Ubuntu Preconfigured Android Compile Environment v2 1 1
Ask and ye shall receive! Another sylentprofet joint -
Builduntu is a prebuilt virtual machine, based on my guide here for configuring Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander to compile Android ROMs from source. It includes everything you need to sync with the repo of your choice (Cyanogenmod, AOKP, AOSP, etc) and start building.
Features:
- Ubuntu 13.10 base
- Installed all necessary software for compiling (list available in the guide link above)
- Unnecessary programs removed (media players, games etc.)
- Geany for editing code
- Repo located in ~/bin and added to PATH
All you have to do is download the source!
The only requirement is that the host machine supports a 64 bit OS. 32 bit systems will not work!
Instructions:
1. Download and install VirtualBox for your host system from here.
2. Download the latest builduntu zip archive and extract builduntu.ova to your hard drive.
3. Start VB, click File > Import Appliance. Select "Open Appliance" and choose builduntu.ova, then click Next to import the virtual machine.
4. Highlight builduntu in VirtualBox Manager and open Settings. Under "System" you may want to give it more RAM and Processor Cores. The higher these values are, the faster you will compile ROMs.
5. Start the machine, pull up a terminal and initialize a git repo. Once the source is finished downloading, youre ready to go!
Download:
build ubntu v2.1 via MediaFire
Username/Password: android/android
Let me know how it works for you! If it turns out to be useful for people here at XDA, I may update periodically.
