[GUIDE] How to build your own ROM from CM7 source

[chevycam94]

Now I am running into a new one.

brendan@brendan-Inspiron-1545:~$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev valgrind lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev pngcrush schedtool

Note, selecting 'libsdl1.2-dev' instead of 'libsdl-dev'
Note, selecting 'lib32z1-dev' instead of 'lib32z-dev'
Package lib32readline5-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
lib32readline-gplv2-dev


E: Package 'lib32readline5-dev' has no installation candidate

Sorry for all the issues :/

Use this line:

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev valgrind lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev pngcrush schedtool

You had lib32readline-dev still in there...

Wow do I feel stupid now...thank you!

so I got everything all up and running only to get this error

Checking build tools versions...
************************************************** **********
You are attempting to build with the incorrect version
of javac.

Your version is: /bin/bash: javac: command not found.
The correct version is: 1.6.

Please follow the machine setup instructions at

I for the life of me can not figure it out, and even googled around too no avail

thanks for the post but I have a problem here, this guide is perfect when you want to compile for a phone that is supported but how do you do this for an phone that is not in the list ? and how do you determine the mandatory files ?

OK, I know this one, but I will have to log back into my Linux install to show you what to change. It was a simple fix.

You will have to get a device setup from a developer who has put one together for the device you want to build for. Included in that device setup will also be the extract-file.sh script needed to pull the necessary proprietary files from the device.

this was an old issue I experienced, It was because I had the wrong java, I got sun java through a repository for it. but I didn't even run into this problem with mint

Who you know anybody who could help me on that ?
This is the first time I am trying to build CM and it seems my phone does not have a lot of love...

Slightly off topic, but have you ever successfully compiled the WiFi driver for the Droid-1? I have successfully rebuilt the Android framework and the kernel, but have not been able to recompile tiwlan_drv.ko and have it load successfully. The closest I have come is being able to do a clean build and then load the module using "insmod". But in that case as soon as I turn on WiFi, the whole system crashes. I have followed a variety of tutorials for building this, but they all seem to be oriented for one of TI's development boards.

If you have a suggested source code link and any pointers for creating a useable WiFi driver, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Thats another thing I have never touched on. I might look up how that works, just so I can cover more areas.

Great, and I'll keep following your posts on this. I've been able to successfully rebuild the module for the Broadcom bcm4329 and the Atheros AR6003, but this TI driver seems to have so many variations. I assume it is dependent on other modules (such as sdio drivers), looking at what gets loaded, I can't tell.

Thanks again
