Hell yes I've been waiting for this forever. How can I help out?

Walk me through the steps to either:
- Compile XBMC on Ubuntu running on my Transformer (I think this requires a compiler built for the ARM7 processor which I'm not sure exists)
- Cross-compile it on my Ubuntu x86 laptop. I downloaded a cross-compiler for arm processors but don't know how to use it to compile xbmc for the Transformer.

Fantastic idea, I will be following your progress for sure, good luck!

I need some serious help here. I have over 18 years of Windows experience but I'm lost when it comes to Linux.
I'm not a programmer either so I'm stumbling all over myself trying to get this to work.
I need some developers to help me with the steps to compile XBMC for the Transformer.

I've compiled tons of **** in the past but never cross-compiled something, maybe this will help: http://www.ailis.de/~k/archives/19-ARM-cross-compiling-howto.html

I'm gonna put cross compiling on the shelf for right now and attempt something really stupid, compiling xbmc with the Transformer itself. LOL I doubt this will work.

can anyone post a compiled version? thks

Following this guide.
I'm on this step:
Code:
Here is the magic command to get the build dependencies (used to compile the version on the PPA).
$ sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
After running this command I get this output
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libglew1.6dev' instead of 'libglew-dev'
Note, selecting 'libjpeg62-dev' instead of 'libjpeg-dev'

Note, selecting 'libfontconfig1-dev' instead of 'libfontconfig-dev'
Note, selecting 'libsdl1.2-dev' instead of 'libsdl-dev'
E: Build-Depends dependency for xmbc cannot be satisfied because the package libcec-dev cannot be found
I've looked and looked and can't figure out how to install "libcec-dev". I've added the Pulse Eight PPA and tried to install libcec-dev and it can't find the package to install. I don't know how to get past this.

Thanks Mr Muffin! I tried to get help on the official xbmc forum but every reply was a tiny bit of help and the remaining 80% was "holier-than-thou" BS and lectures on why I shouldn't be asking in the first place. I hate jack-asses like that.

I built the xbmc source today, but I had to fix an error message like this:
Code:
WinSystemGLES.cpp: In constructor ‘CWinSystemGLES::CWinSystemGLES()’:
WinSystemGLES.cpp:35:14: warning: converting to non-pointer type ‘EGLNativeWindowType {aka long unsigned int}’ from NULL [-Wconversion-null]
WinSystemGLES.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool CWinSystemGLES::InitWindowSystem()’:
WinSystemGLES.cpp:49:70: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘EGLNativeDisplayType {aka _XDisplay*}’ [-fpermissive]
/home/andrew/xbmc/xbmc/windowing/egl/WinEGLPlatformGeneric.h:38:31: error: initializing argument 1 of ‘virtual EGLNativeWindowType CWinEGLPlatformGeneric::InitWindowSystem(EGLNativeDisplayType, int, int, int)’ [-fpermissive]

WinSystemGLES.cpp:74:14: warning: converting to non-pointer type ‘EGLNativeWindowType {aka long unsigned int}’ from NULL [-Wconversion-null]
make[1]: *** [WinSystemGLES.o] Error 1
Seems like it worked with this workaround:
in xbmc/windowing/egl/WinSystemGLES.cpp on line 35: replace - line with + line (without + )
Code:
- m_window = NULL;
+ m_window = (EGLNativeWindowType) NULL;
on line 49:
Code:
- m_window = m_eglplatform->InitWindowSystem(m_display, 1920, 1080, 8);
+ m_window = m_eglplatform->InitWindowSystem((EGLNativeDisplayType) m_display, 1920, 1080, 8);
on line 74:
Code:
- m_window = NULL;
+ m_window = (EGLNativeWindowType) NULL;

[Q] Building CM for Nexus 7 GSM weird errors...

Can you please give me a hand with building my CM for the Nexus 7 GSM?
I have a number of problems.
When running "brunch tilapia" as specified in the CM tutorial for building for the Nexus 7 GSM, I get the following errors:
I don't get a zip file output in the "out" Directory
I am getting the following errors:
/bin/bash: flex: command not found
Warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [enabled by deafult]
13: warning: extra tokens at end of #ifdef directive [enabled by default]
warning: 'fin' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized
warning: implicit declaration of function 'read_all' [-Wimplicit-funtion-declaration]
You are attemtping to build with an unsupported version of java.
find: 'src' : no such file or directory
No private recovery resources for TARGET_DEVICE tilapia
Please help!
I tried wiping and re-installing, wiping the repo and re-initializing that.
I followed all the steps I believe, must just be unlucky.
Peace,
shandy1996

Perhaps you know this, but there is a thread for building cm10.1 for the n7 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846651.
Some of the warnings you have listed are normal and are nothing to worry about. However, it looks like you are missing the package flex, so try 'sudo apt-get install flex', depending on what Linux distro you are using, then try again.

Thanks, but still one quiestion...
Why do I not get any .zip file output?
I am not sure as to why this is, but an answer would be much appreciated.
Thanks for you help, hopefully i can sort it out
Peace and thanks again,
shandy1996

It's because the build aborts as soon as it realizes that a required build package is missing. In a way it's kind of an all or nothing thing... you don't get a zip package until you have everything in place and set up properly.
Did you try installing the package 'flex' as suggested? I'm not positive, but that might be the issue, unless there are other errors or missing packages.
Also, have you posted in the thread on building cm10.1? You would probably get more help there!

I installed flex and it solved that error, but still no zip output.....

Ok ,what did it say at the end when it stopped? Also, what version of Linux are you using and what guide are you following? The guide linked in the other thread works great.

I used the guide on the CyanogenMod wiki for building for the Nexus 7 GSM.
I am running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.
The error i get at the end of the build process is:
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target 'vendor/asus/tilapia/proprietary/tf_daemone', needed by '/home/jacob/androis/system/out/target/product/tilapia/obj/EXECUTABLES/tf_daemon_intermediates/tf_daemon'. Stop.

ah ok, i had this exact same issue, i think it might be an internal thing, not your fault. for some reason the file tf_daemon seems to be missing, so someone suggested manually placing it in the proper place. i was directed to find the file here: https://github.com/AOKP/vendor_asus_grouper/tree/jb/proprietary/bin. so i downloaded it and put it in the folder /vendor/asus/tilapia/proprietary, and this problem was solved

[Q] Firefox os build error at SurfaceTextureClient.cpp

I'm trying to port firefox os(B2G) to my device (HTC Desire HD). While building it stops because of error at libgui in SurfaceTextureClient.cpp
last few lines of build log
Code:
target thumb C++: libgui <= frameworks/base/libs/gui/SurfaceTextureClient.cpp
frameworks/base/libs/gui/SurfaceTextureClient.cpp: In member function 'virtual int android::SurfaceTextureClient::setUsage(uint32_t)':
frameworks/base/libs/gui/SurfaceTextureClient.cpp:500: error: 'GRALLOC_USAGE_EXTERNAL_ONLY' was not declared in this scope
frameworks/base/libs/gui/SurfaceTextureClient.cpp:505: error: 'GRALLOC_USAGE_EXTERNAL_BLOCK' was not declared in this scope
make: *** [out/target/product/ace/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libgui_intermediates/SurfaceTextureClient.o] Error 1
and the full build log is here
I think this happens because of the build system doesn't build
Code:
hardware/qcom/display/libgralloc/
before building
Code:
frameworks/base/libs/gui/
How can I tell the B2G build system to do that? Or is there any other way to get around this without breaking(like can't see anything) the build?
Here is my B2G manifest file.
I know this belongs in the developer forum but I still can't post in it

In your device blobs you are telling it to make hardware/com/display or display_legacy or the like correct? One way to at least get past this error and possibly get either further clues or have it compile would be to just add the header to this file or reference it as a dependency in your frameworks/base makefiles. These are just some ideas. Its hard without knowing where you are pulling these from (cm repo, Google, linaro, b2g, or whatever) so I can look at the code and makefiles. But normally this sort of thing will be an adjustment needed to your makefiles. Its just finding which, or if its simply a missing statement like this in your device makefiles TARGET_QCOM_DISPLAY_VARIANT := legacy

Wow, you are already testing 5.0 on the Z3?

thx @jerpelea wasn't sure if we would be lucky enought to get lollipop at the first instance ?

Fix? Does the code contain any major bugs something not working? Just got soooo excited with this news

tx a lot @jerpelea! Just make bl unlock a bit more straightforward (e.g. easy to go back to stock)!

Would unlocking the bootloader and installing this eventual ROM that's based off of Sony's source code not be impacted by this warning from Sony (meaning the DRM security keys would be intact?
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Certain pre-loaded content on your device may also be inaccessible due to the removal of DRM security keys. For high-end devices running recent software versions, for instance Xperia Z3, the removal of DRM security keys may affect advanced camera functionality. For example, noise reduction algorithms might be removed, and performance when taking photos in low-light conditions might be affected. The secure user data partition may also become inaccessible, and you will not be able to get any more official software upgrades if you unlock the boot loader.

the proprietary software thar uses drm is not part of aosp
more the point re this lollipop source: camera and phone modem are disabled ~ so no daily driver for a while yet.
I will post results of my first build in this thread (give me a few hours).
update: build failed..
(something to do with bluetooth ~ checked remotely so no details yet)
try again later

I'll also build but will not be installing until our gurus fix the camera and modem.

rebuilding now, java was still 6 defaulted not java 7, plus a system folder missing.. fingers crossed..

thanks

no good for my builds.. bluetooth errors during build stopping build approx 2hrs into "make" process..
I don't know how to fix so will hold off on any more builds until after source updated or somebody else builds without error.

What kind of errors are you getting? Im compiling now so will see how that goes.

^^ I'll kick off another build, but resetting up first, will capture error details then, it's something along the lines of:
/android/external/bluetooth <- android/external/bluetooth.. something something
make stopped with jobs still to run (something like that)
definitely bluetooth each time and suggests something missing.
deleted all repos/android folder etc and re-syncing now (just in case change from 4.4.4 to 5.0.0 in repos is causing issues. probably a few hours before next attempt.

thanks for your message

thats the one @XeKToReX... (and I need a better computer!! takes me 2.04hr to get that error!) @jerpelea maybe can shed some light? (thanks, appreciate all your help)

SSD makes a difference! Seems like others have built it for the Z2, glad its not just me though, I'd have just blown the is away and started again lol

On each command you will have to select the version of java you want to use. This command is helpful if you also do other coding.
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
sudo update-alternatives --config jar
sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
I've included the master from jerpelea's branch in case anybody is having issues and needs it quickly
After i get out of class today i'm going to run through android.com and see what i can find out about the new compiling method for Android L. I'm sure there's something we've all missed.

No working camera or modem, looks like we've still got awhile guys...

great news,thankss

nice

I'm syncing it now. I'm going to do a blind build (not changing anything just going with what's already there) because I have yet to unlock my bootloader and won't until they can figure out a way so at least the camera and noise cancellation don't get messed up when unlocking (if I go back to a sony stock rom I know it won't matter on AOSP)

I got a build to finish. I'll post the boot and system img for someone to try.. I'm not going to go through the trouble yet to make a flashable zip until we at least know it boots. I'll upload the images now

Posted the images: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/img-aosp-5-0-boot-imgs-t2940499

So @NisseGurra flashed the build I made yesterday here is what he found to be broken:
no wifi, no network, some reboots, no usb storage, no external sd, no sound or camera
But its very snappy, looking forward to a functional aosp

Thank you for the guides,
I was able to compile AOSP for D5803 successfully.
A couple of issues,
First,
Has the Cherry-Pick for external/libnfc-nci/ that is provided in the guide been merged?
As I get the following error,
Code:
/external/libnfc-nci $ git cherry-pick 83cf98d0a5018e023eb9cc8b4e394957f9a6989f
fatal: bad object 83cf98d0a5018e023eb9cc8b4e394957f9a6989f
(Updated on blog to correspond with Shinano Issue.)
Second,
I get the following error when I try to output zipped package,
Code:
[B]No private recovery resources for TARGET_DEVICE aries
No recovery.fstab for TARGET_DEVICE aries[/B]
make: *** no rule to make target `otapackage'. stop.
Does this have anything to do with: TARGET_BOOTLOADER_BOARD_NAME := D5803
or that it is called aosp_d5803 (aosp_d5803.mk)
UPDATE: otatools seems to work, [" . build/envsetup.sh && time lunch aosp_d5803-userdebug && make otatools "].
But I can not find the output / output directory for package
Oh,
Is there supposed to be a userdata.img too?
Looking around a different sources mention it, however there is no userdata.img when I compiled it.
Thank you for your time
