compiling android (CM)

hi,
I'm wondering if someone can help me with compiling android from source. I've set up the build environment as described here: http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
and downloaded the CM sources via repo.
the biggest question that I have at the moment is, how do I merge the code from our devs with the CM sources and then start compiling the whole thing? e.g. if I downloaded CM10 and want to merge it with marcellusbe's git development files..
I'm a bit confused about all the shell scripts in the CM sources..
do I need the kernel sources? or can I use for example one of the flashable zip files?
maybe someone can lead me through this step by step, or make a step by step tutorial, which would be great.
I do have linux experience but I'm not really into development stuff.
thanks in advance

1. Download sources from CM
Code:
# mkdir cm10
# cd cm10
cm10 # repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean
cm10 # repo sync -j4
2. Take my cm10 device config from git and put it in device/samsung folder. It is not updated yet with all the fixes but good to start compiling.
there are problems in compiling with external/valgrind and external/regex-re2 : thanks to aaa801, he gave me link to a valgrind patch that solves the compile failure for armv6.
For regex-re2, for now, just delete the folder.
then you can compile jellybean :
Code:
cm10 # . build/envsetup.sh
cm10 # lunch
You're building on Linux
Lunch menu... pick a combo:
1. full-eng
2. full_x86-eng
3. vbox_x86-eng
4. mini_armv7a_neon-userdebug
5. mini_armv7a-userdebug
[B]6. cm_apollo-userdebug[/B]
7. full_panda-userdebug
8. cm_grouper-userdebug
9. cm_maguro-userdebug
10. cm_toro-userdebug
11. cm_toroplus-userdebug
Which would you like? [full-eng] [B]6[/B]
cm10 # make -j4
Jellybean needs modifications in the initial ramdisk ... I can provide you the kernel until I upload the changes to github.

providing the kernel would be great
but I can wait until you upload the latest changes and fixes, too

Help compiling Nexus 4 kernel from sources

Hi, I'm trying to compile the Nexus 4 kernel from the sources following the android.developers tutorial:
http://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html
And also this guides:
[Tutorial] Building Your First Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748297
Getting Started: Building a Kernel from source: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source
My goal is to learn to compile from AOSP, but I'm failing hard. After doing this step:
Code:
$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/mako-kernel
And after downloading the sources:
Code:
$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git
All I get is a "kernel" file (without extension) and a folder .git folder. Inside that folder there aren't the files I assume I need, because I can't do "make mako_defconfig" as there isn't such file.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I'm not getting the files I need, althought download was nearly 1GB (I think they should be like this android tree):
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git/+/android-msm-mako-3.4-jb-mr1.1
I'll appreciate your help, and sorry if this is the wrong section. Thanks in advance.
PS: I forgot, I already have the toolchain 4.6 and know how to call it, I tried it after clonning the trinity kernel git, I just wonder why I don't get similar files when clonning mako kernel from google source.

I solved it. I had to add the desired branch to the end of the command:
$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git -b "brand"
Doubt is solved, thread can be closed.

[Q] [HELP] Can't build Cyanogenmod

EDIT: the line where it fails is pointing the wrong place :/ I found it in root explorer so I'll see what I can do
EDIT: fixed the cdma/libsec-ril.so
but now it's complaining it can't find a gsm version...

Use the blobs from the GitHub repo TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/cm-11.0/hlte. Unfortunately I can't post a direct link due to onerous XDA restrictions on new user's posts. I am having the same problem with not being able to extract all the propietary blobs from my Note 3 device.

Did you ever get this figured out? I am trying to build right now and am having the same problem. I got the blobs from that github repository, and am still running into this same error.

Do you have device/samsung/msm8960-common/msm8960.mk? If you did used "lunch", it should add this repo (and a few others) to your .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml. The repos are defined in device/samsung/hlte/cm.dependencies, which should already be there.
If it doesn't fetch the repos automatically, you can do this with "repo sync".
For the proprietary blobs, you only need to add the samsung repo from TheMuppets github to your .repo/local_manifests/whatever.xml and "repo sync" to pull it in. No need to try to extract anything from your device.

After I posted I went and downloaded msm8960-common repository and extracted it into the build directory, it then got the same error for some qualcomm libraries that were missing so I downloaded those as well. I then added the proprietary files from the "TheMuppets" repo.
It would appear things are going better now, but still can't build because of some errors with the kernel not being there. I am going to go download the kernel source and try to get it figured out. If I can't I will make a new thread.
Thank you for your help!

[Q] Questions about Git and Repo

Hi,
I recently start working on resurrection remix for op2 and build was done successfully except some minor hinges which I am getting rid of now however I was needed to make some changes in my device tree using some git reverts but the command git revert wasn't working from my source directory and was returning this error.
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set
I am sure I can use git with my sources however from which directory and why this error, I am not sure so I need some help understanding that.
Thanks. I appreciate any kind of help.

Asked too soon. Had to learn much deeply about git so this is not relevant anymore.
