Sorry for a lame question, but i've got a problem. I've compiled a simple hello-world application using arm-gcc 3.4.3 (compiled under x86 linux using gcc compiler for ARM) with default settings. When I was trying to start it under Universal, I got the message 'Invalid instruction' (or something like that).
Please provide me with a working example (command-line arguments for building and etc) or some instructions on build process, if anybody has one.
Thanks.

You don't tell where does the gcc-3.4.3 come from.
With the 3.4.1 stadalone toolchain from
ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/projects/toolchain
it is just
Code:
/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/bin/arm-linux-gcc -o hello hello.c
If you want to compile GUI apps or big packages, then you should read
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/GettingStarted
I downloaded it from www.gnuarm.com. It worked OK when compiled ROM images for my ARM7TDMI-based boards.
Thanks for the link, I'll try it today.
And, finally, another lame question: did anybody tried to build gcc 4.1 for cross-compiling from x86 to ARM? Or it is possible to use the script from the FTP to build it?
I am trying to find information on how to poke around my own phone's source code (if possible, Sprint HTC Hero) and also the Android Source Code which is downloadable.
I'd like to see how the apps look, and how I could change them. I also want to know how to go about editing and loading that source code up on a phone.
Is this possible with my phone? Or do I need a special phone to do so? I'd like to know how these folks are going about creating these special ROMs for phones, and how someone can edit it to their liking, and then compile it for a specific device.
source.android.com is where you should find what you need.
I did find that, and it works someone, but the address isn't right, and for some reason I can't install an older version of Java on my Ubuntu VM. Maybe because it's 10.4? Has anyone else been able to download the source code via Google's instructions? On a newer machine?

If you add the Jaunty repositories to your sources.list file you should be able to download sun-java5-*
If i find the exact apt lines I will post them later.
Another thought - Switch to Debian Lenny - I switched from Ubuntu after I upgraded to 10.04 and absolutely hated 10, but I am loving Lenny.
EDIT:
add
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse
to your /etc/apt/sources.list
then do
apt-get update
apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-jdk
Thanks for the update, I'll try that and see how far I get.
From what I gathered, Ubuntu was the only supported Linux operating system that I'd be able to get the source code of Android for...
I understand that the size of Android is so massive, an organized way to download it is necessary, but why isn't this just simple like FTP access?
Hi all!
I have a (noob?) problem, I can't include all the dependences necessary to modify the android messaging application (Mms.apk).
I've installed Eclipse and all the "android stuff" (emulators and so on...) and cloned the mms source code from GIT but, when I import the existing project, I've an error with the "com.google.*" packages, eclipse doesn't find them!
I figure out that the only packages that are avaible with my SDK installation are the "com.android.*" ones...
There is something missing...
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance!
I have also the same problem in my android htc mobile also the file for playing are not supported for some format.
I don't really understand what you mean...
Come on!
I'm sure that someone can help me!

i read that the kernel is same wont that help porting andriod with respect to some drivers change!!!
no one answered
the problem is our first developer can't keep the android project...
hi
how can i debug this files and run???
currently I'm trying to cross-compile a most recent wildfire kernel I found on htc server using a configuration I personally made for our mega. The problem is there are many errors in the source code...
re.:
In my opinion we start build android from beginning. My problem is in my OS on my PC. I have Windows XP and building and modifing found only on Linux. I find this page with porting guide. It is step by step How to create boot screen, How to setup Connectivity...
source.android.com/porting/bring_up.html
On this page are programs for debug and download android source code...
Anyone write.
Move to general as not rom development
I'm using linux, this is why I want to try to cross-compile a kernel for our device, like I just said, source code has a large number of errors, I don't know why...
if you are interested, I can share the kernel configuration I made myself...
Now I install Ubuntu 10. It was compilation found in this version of Linux??? Where programs can I download? Now I have Git, Eclipse and Python 2.7. How can I install .tar packs on Ubuntu zito882000?
if you are new as a linux user it's quite difficult to explain, you need gcc plus the same programs a normal user has to compile a kernel.
The difference is in the way of compilation, a parameter that does a compilation for arm architectures....do you have some kernel compilation experience?

windows is gold.
with compilation i haven't any experience. I only begin in programming languages C, C++ and VB. I compile only my apps in visual studio. And i have nice experience with photoshop.
it isn't exactly the same thing, in a kernel you have a large number of drivers to compile, not a only one program...
Here cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html you can find a simple guide!
The most important part is the command "make" that need some different parameters to do a cross-compilation for ARM processors ^^
thx
I saw the instructions and understand him. If I somehow help you write to my icq: 484038954 or Skype: vasek-smekal.
So far, thanks
I just bought an HTC Hero with native android.
If you want to try again I share with you my kernel configuration file and a link where you can download the kernel source I used.
(remember to rename "config.txt" in ".config" with the point and without the extension)
KERNEL SOURCE -> http://developer.htc.com/ (must choose "HTC Wildfire - Froyo - 2.6.32 kernel source code")
ARM LINUX GCC -> http://www.handhelds.org/download/projects/toolchain/archive/arm-linux-gcc-3.3.1-030820.tar.bz2
Hello everybody!
I've been thinking a while of running my own bèta channel and decided to start one.
There is something that I've wondered, how do I keep the original and bèta code seperated?
Is there a sdk for a beta channel or do I need to use a private Github repository?
If yes, can somebody please tell me how I set it up?
I've been trying and dying to get Github work with Eclipse, but it doesn't work
Thank you in advance!
Git is definitely the best way to do this, basically make a beta and release branch. Switching between the two is really easy once you have it all setup.
What are the specific problems you have been having with Git?
I got GitLab instald on a local server and I have a beta ans a master branch. The problen with git is that i know the basics, push, pull, add and commit thats is. I really don't know how to seperate the code of different versions (eg v.1 and v.2) in the same branch.
Let me give another exame the GitLab is a wonderfull project, but I can't delete a folder (all the magic happens within a webinterface), but I can delete the files one by one ... Nope takes to much time
How do I manage files trough git, from my workstation (remove directory's for example)
Is there a guide about git somewere? When i search for it on Google all i get is github results but i want git results.
Thanks for helping me out!
Appriciate it!!
Why do you need GitLab? From your requirements you just need Git client and remote repository (which can be github.com).
You might want to check Git Branching - Basic Branching and Merging.
I wanted an east to use git software. When installing GitLab the setup setups everything for you, so I don't have to run commands etc. which saves me a great amount of time.
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out later today!
I see. Basically to get started with GitHub you just need Git package (e.g. msysgit for windows).
Yeah, I got GitLab installed on a networked server.
Can you learn me a few tips 'n tricks?
Sure, you can start from here: https://help.github.com/articles/good-resources-for-learning-git-and-github/
Thanks!
