Learning to compile my own ROM

[bhughesiii]

Ok since apparently no Devs visit the Hacks section I'll post this here..

When I run make, it is telling me that Platform version is 2.2.1 even though I have the latest source. I thought this would be 2.2.2? Perhaps there is a file I need to edit?

** edit **
When I run make I get
Code:
build/core/base_rules.mk:108: user tag on app Superuser at packages/apps/Superuser - add your app to core.mk instead
Any ideas on these?

the 2.2.2 change is somewhere in vendor im pretty sure i forget and cant find it now. but you can also just change it in the build.prop if you wnat thats waht is the file making it show on your phone.

as for the other goto rules_make line 108 and see what it says. but if this is not stopping your build dont worry about it its just saying its listed twice . but in the android/system/extras su thre are some changes you ned to make

you can look at githubs commits to see what needs to be changed.

hope this helps some sorry i have been out of the game a few motnhs and have forgotten a lot

Thanks eagle1967, I'll look for that. I was able to compile and make otapackage, but I got stuck figuring out how to get it on my phone. The set of instructions I am using do not include how to make it an update.zip file. I guess I have a lot of researching to do before I recompile again. I also wish there was a error log or something for when you run make and it has errors that it that it posts those errors in a file for review. I don't have time to watch the compile and notice any errors. Also, I have been running ubuntu in a virtualbox virtual pc. I may just do a dual boot and maybe things will go faster.

compiling is slow on dual cores it sems to take about an hour for most for for your info. but the virtual setup limits you in space. are you looking in your out folder for the zip file to install to your phone. you might not be runing make -j4 otapackage thats what you need to run make as to make the package to install to phone.

I am running make otapackage, and I have found where it is going. I do not know how to create and update.zip file. And I hope that running dual boot will help. Compiling has been taking close to 8 - 10 hours in a virtual setup. even with make -j4

You can use this as a guide if you were building a froyo based rom:

http://android.snkbitten.com/docs/Ho...P-09-21-10.pdf

Somewhere toward the end it describes how to handle the update.zip.

Hope it helps.

Thanks! I am in the process of rebuilding my dev environment as a dual boot instead of a vitrual machine. I will check it out when I get to that point.

I am using the PDF from above, does it matter whether you use the proprietaries from FRG22D or FRG83G?

I don't think it matters. Either belongs to froyo branch. However, I haven't tested against frg83g so I wouldn't know for sure.

Thanks, thinkmega! I didn't think it would make too much difference.
