How to build busybox from sources?

I'm trying to build busybox from sources.
I use last NDK as toolchain.
I started building it from original sources checked out from official busybox's git. Some small fixes with includes/declarations and stuff. Didn't finish fixing these problems.
And found out that cyanogenmod already has it with fixes I made for my build, but wrapped in __BIONIC__ define.
I decided to build it from cyanogenmod git (http://github.com/cyanogen/android_external_busybox) cause it looks like it already solved all that small build problems.
But I can't invoke make properly.
It has Android.mk, If I invoke usual
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="arm-eabi-" CFLAGS="-I/home/astar/android/android-ndk-r4/build/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/usr/include"
it doesn't use Android.mk makefile and fails with those small problems.
But if I invoke it with -f Android.mk It fails with error
Code:
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="arm-eabi-" CFLAGS="-I/home/astar/android/android-ndk-r4/build/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/usr/include" -f Android.mk
cat: /busybox-full.sources: No such file or directory
make: *** CC=cc: No such file or directory. Stop.
cat: /busybox-full.links: No such file or directory
cat: /busybox-minimal.sources: No such file or directory
make: *** CC=cc: No such file or directory. Stop.
looking inside Android.mk i think, that it fails with setting LOCAL_PATH. Setting it manually inside Android.mk doesn't help.
Can anyone point me to proper guide/howto?
How do You build busybox?

I have really little knowledge about building parts of Android system, but I think that you can't build it using makefile directly. When you are building Android system, then building process begins with some initialization, macros are defined, etc. and then makefiles of subprojects are called. This is why you get errors - you run makefile of busybox directly, but building process isn't initialized properly.
On the other hand NDK does this initialization when you are building native application, but you don't use NDK properly. NDK apps aren't build using regular make command.

There's three build systems for android:
SDK - Java
NDK - C/C++
android-sources - unixy stuff
You might need the android-sources rather than NDK to build busybox. To do that you'll need to download the sources then source the build/envsetup.sh then run "mm" in the directory that has your Android.mk
I have some instructions here (for dropbear, not busybox, but should be similar):
http://teslacoilsw.com/dropbear
Check the Building section.

Thank you very much. It is the magic I was looking for (crap, I spent 10 hours trying to find out how to do it):
Code:
export TOP=/path/to/android-sources
source "$TOP/build/envsetup.sh"
mm
I managed to build AOSP with java 1.6. Check this patch if you're interested in.
I tried to build cm's busybox with AOSP but it fails (I expected that). Currently I'm getting cm sources. Hope that it'll be ok.
Do you know if I have to build whole tree before external utils (=busybox)? Cause when I tried to do it before aosp build it failed with make dependencies.

[Q] Problems building CM 10.2

I have been trying to build CM 10.2 all day and now keep getting errors while it is building. Here are the last few lines I am getting during the build before it stops. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 to build with.

I think you don't have the proprietary blobs.
From http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_mako#Extract_proprietary_blobs
Now ensure that your Nexus 4 is connected to your computer via the USB cable and that you are in the ~/android/system/device/lge/mako directory (you can cd ~/android/system/device/lge/mako if necessary). Then run the extract-files.sh script:
$ ./extract-files.sh
You should see the proprietary files (aka “blobs”) get pulled from the device and moved to the right place in the vendor directory. If you see errors about adb being unable to pull the files, adb may not be in the path of execution. If this is the case, see the adb page for suggestions for dealing with "command not found" errors.

I redid the proprietary files and now I am getting it to run for a while then getting this at the end while building. While it is extracting the proprietary blobs I am getting a lot of errors, but not adb errors.

Is your n4 already running cm10.2?
If not the blobs would be wrong and some are named different in cm10.1
Edit: try to extract the missing file from an official nightly

OK I'll try that, thanks for the suggestion

Firefox OS Porting to Motorola G

I and my friend are trying to port Firefox OS on Motorola G device. Because of our lack of experience in the field, we are stuck. Mozilla's documentation is not that helpful and we don't know at the moment how to continue.
What we did:
- created manifest xml for the device, based on unofficial cyanogenmod for Moto G.
- synced all sources
- added manually prebuilt kernel.
- tried to build everything but it doesn't build, of course, we don't know why.
The error seem to be:
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `out/target/product/xt1032/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libwpa_client_intermediates/export_includes', needed by `out/target/product/xt1032/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libhardware_legacy_intermediates/import_includes'. Stop.

means there is no target to build the path. I need more info. What compiler are you using. Or are you just using the command prompt?What's the custom kernel, you could try using CM #2 Unoffical However that'd only work if ur Moto G is currently running android with CWM (to flash the kernel when u build it) Can u link to the mozilla post, I didn't bookmark it and I can be bothered to google it Can u send me what you've done so far pls. Thanks

Or are you just using the command prompt?

Yes, I'm using terminal to compile everything. Actually a specialized script for that purpose. Environment versions are:
g++ - 4.6
gcc - 4.6
Actually I'm using this guide .
Yes, I use Clockwork but before that there is building problem. Anyway, the link for porting is this.
The kernel I got is from here.

Admittedly, I know jack **** about android development, but I was under the impression that Firefox OS was based on an ICS kernel? I don't think the CM11 kernel works.

Never seen that error before. Know wat it means tho. Have u tried complieing with Xcode (mac) or another 3rd part app ?

No. I don't have and don't use mac computers, at least for now. I did this in Linux. It seems that it just doesn't read kernel/ directory or just ignores it.

I solved (apparently) that problem by modifying variable TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE (device/motorola/msm8226-common/BoardConfigCommon.mk) to be absolute path but now I have another error
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `out/host/linux-x86/bin/acp', needed by `out/debug/host/linux-x86/bin/validatekeymaps'. Stop.

@coldSense
Try this way please
Code:
rm -rf out
rm -rf objdir-gecko
./build.sh gecko
then run
Code:
./build.sh gaia
and copy file from <build_path>/gaia/profile/webapps to <build_path>/out/project/<device_name>/system/b2g/webapps
Then replace all file from out/target/<product>/system to /system of AOSP ROM
then edit ramdisk follow https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Porting
and flash boot.img and /system you were edit to your Motolola G
Try this way please

Any luck with this? I might try myself, but curious if you can update.

If all else fails, use |rm -rf objdir-gecko| to clobber gecko and |rm -rf out| to clobber everything else.
A modification in device/motorola/falcon/vendorsetup.sh maybe ?
UPDATE :
Modifying vendorsetup.sh like this
add_lunch_combo full_falcon-eng

Can somebody explain me how to use a prebuilt kernel to build that please ?
Thank You

You can try to create the folder falcon-kernel inside device/motorola/ and put into it your kernel image.
In device/motorola/(your model) create the file AndroidBoard.mk and put inside:
ifeq ($(TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL),)
TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := device/motorola/falcon-kernel/kernel
endif
Than try to rebuild.

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.

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!

Kernel compilation error '"aarch64-linux-android-gcc" is not allowed to be used.'

Kernel compilation error '"aarch64-linux-android-gcc" is not allowed to be used.'
I'm building the kernel with LineageOS 17.1 / Android 10 r31 however the build process errors out during kernel compilation.
Specifically with:
Code:
"aarch64-linux-android-gcc" is not allowed to be used. See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/master/Changes.md#PATH_Tools for more information.
make[3]: *** [/home/saltoin/android/lineageos-17.1/kernel/samsung/universal8895/scripts/Makefile.build:153: scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s] Error 1
Following the link says that any host tools in PATH won't be allowed to be used during compilation. However, `aarch64-linux-android-gcc` is not from my path but supplied by the build tools. Unless I'm mistaken in that assumption.
Regardless, exporting TEMPORARY_DISABLE_PATH_RESTRICTIONS=true allows aarch64-linux-android-gcc.
Unless I'm missing something, I don't believe I should be getting this error.
Thoughts?

Hello there, have you found any solution?
TEMPORARY_DISABLE_PATH_RESTRICTIONS=true doesn't work in the config file. What do you mean by export? Thanks in advance for help.

Build System Changes for Android.mk Writers
As a temporary measure, you can set TEMPORARY_DISABLE_PATH_RESTRICTIONS=true in your environment to temporarily turn off the error checks and allow any tool to be used (with logging).
