[Q] Help Compiling the source

Trying to compile the source for the archos gen 8s. If I can compile it, I might be able to add in root support, but I have hit a snag. When I compile I get this:
Code:

I googled around and was unable to figure out what is going on there. --nostdinc should be a command for GCC, but doesn't seem to be working correctly. When I run gcc -v I get:

PS If you do get it compiled I found where you can override user for certain applications: /buildroot/package/dbus/archos.conf
It looks like this:
Code:

</policy>
<!-- Add your service name

the whole build process seems to be buggy as hell

I don't know why it's referring to /usr/lib/libltdl.so because this would be a 64bit lib of my linux machine. bug?

You two realise that you can't just use a PC version of gcc to compile an arm version of sw?
You need the crosscompile toolchain to do this, and than its working correctly.

the toolchain is inside the xxx.tgz archive and it is used for building. no need for extra toolchain

But laptopfeak is using something that does:
Target: i686-linux-gnu

wrong. he just typed gcc -v in his shell. this uses of course his very own gcc and not the one served by the archos toolchain.
when I type gcc -v using the archos toolchain it looks like this:
# gen8-gpl-froyo/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/usr/bin/arm-linux-gcc -v

the toolchain builds the crosscompiler itself and then starts crosscompiling

I did find out why I was getting one of the errors. I was missing some dependencies. Found a quick tutorial on how to compile the kernel for the gen7. http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=Compiling_gen7-gpl
Now I am getting an error about the .config file being out of date. Odd thing is that the make menuconfig does not work... as previously mentioned.

Oh and this does seem to be the buggiest source/compile I have ever dealt with. But I did talk to someone on xchat last night and they said that they got it to compile out of box.

I installed a fresh ubuntu 10.10 into a virtual machine and installed the packages mentioned on this website: http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=Compiling_gen7-gpl
currently building.. stay tuned..
edit: still buggy

Finally got it to compile thanks to jensbln:
According to him you have to: "disable gdb in /buildroot/local/g8_arm/g8_arm.config"
So I poked around in the g8_arm.config and found the gdb. I then set all instances of gdb to n instead of y. I then had to sudo make, because I was getting permission demied. After that it compiled fine.

Let's see if this works for me too...
edit: failed on the x64 machine.. not that surprisingly as others had problems too. testing on x32..

damn, its not working (failed because of missing symlinks to libmpfr.so.1)..
edit: ahh.. it seems that i missed this dependency: libmpfr1ldbl
edit2: yes, this was the missing dependency.
using a fresh ubuntu 10.10 x32, to compile the froyo gpl sources install these packages:
Code:
# apt-get install flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl automake autoconf libtool gettext texinfo libmpfr1ldbl
edit3: make menuconfig does work too
Code:
# cd gen8-gpl-froyo/linux
# cp linux.config .config
# make oldconfig
# make menuconfig

you are not supposed to use "make menuconfig"
just type "make" in the buildroot folder and it will build the kernel and buildroot packages that are in gen8 units...

@_nz_ you're late, see my last post.
btw: yes I'm supposed to use make menuconfig when I want to change kernel settings without changing the kernel config file manually

sure. I was referring more to make menuconfig in buildroot which is not used during our SW development, so it's not really "supported" and might be broken. All our configs are hardcoded

it's not used inside buildroot, I use it inside linux
btw: do you work at archos?

yes, we are

Hey -nz- I posted this on the Archos Fans forum in response to an answer to my question; why can't we reflash to 2.1. You probably didn't see it......what do you say?
Thanks for the reply about the bootloader. Again ignorance on my part. Surely Archos could release a patch that would allow the bootloader to install any version of the OS? I mean its all just code going into a certain memory address. I have a hard time with companies like Archos who seem to make things difficult for owners. I can see Apple doing it because they really are the 800 pound gorilla in the corner but the Dev Team and smart guys have always found a way round what they do. Archos are a relatively small fish in the pond. The tablet scene is moving very fast and new tablets are coming out every day.
It reminds me of the Pandigital novel. We pleaded with Pandigital to give us the source code. They said they would but never did. The smart guys were able to do wonders with what they had but ultimately within 3 months people had given up and moved on. Once the smart guys were gone all development stopped and now the PDN is just a mostly forgotten memory. If Pandigital had of opened up, the word of mouth would have spread, people would have bought their reader, hacked it and they would have both sold more and got the hearts and minds (and money) of people who would have considered any product they brought out. Now they are pretty much dead in the water and will likely just stay selling photo frames. People and technology has passed them by.
I won't say the same will happen to Archos. They are a bigger fish but they seem to have generated a lot of ill will over the 2.2 release. Even all those who were trumpeting how wonderful 2.2 was going to be have slunk away. Apple will bring out a new iPad next year. The price of the present one is dropping and will continue to do so. Say what you like about the iPad, but it works and it works well. It's too big and I'll probably sell mine again in a month or so depending on what comes out next in the 7 to 8 inch form factor.
Archos have the opportunity to buck the trend and open their software up and let people make it fly. There are some really sharp, switched on guys out there and if given the encouragement and support by Archos, they could do wonders. How cool would it be for Archos to be known as the one company that actually helped and supported its customers. The hardware is all there, the software is lacking but it is easier to make something better if it is only the software that is holding back the hardware.
So come on Mr Archos, if you are reading this, do some deep thinking. Be the tablet company of the people. Lets see some liberté, égalité, fraternité.

I tried to fix it but my kernel foo (or coding foo in general) is pretty weak
the source of the kernel is available at github
the driver resides in drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329
could anyone please take a look at it ?
the kernel-source is from CM7 and 2.6.35.7 based
Many many thanks in advance !

why got this moved into "General" section ?
this is clearly development material

I came across your post because I was seeing a similar compiling error for a Xoom with bcm4329/dhd_linux.c, specifically the "array subscript is below array bounds" in dhd_open().
That specific error is caused by a failure to check the return value from dhd_net2idx for the flag value DHD_BAD_IF before the variable is used as an array subscript. DHD_BAD_IF is -1, and this compilation error exists to ensure that the return code from dhd_net2idx is checked.
I'm not sure what the ideal solution is, but looking through the rest of that file there are other checks for that value that I used as a template to fix the dhd_open() function as well.

Came across your post when searching for similar errors, though I would keep it open to give you the solution...

(unfortunately I've already used up all 'thanks' for today)
thanks a lot GadgetSam and LeeDroid !
seems like I now can remove my workaround (hardcoding to optimize the wifi-driver with -Os only)
I'll have a look at that later if
drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/dhd_linux.c: In function 'dhd_open':
drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/dhd_linux.c:1907:18: error: array subscript is below array bounds
still happens with latest wifi code
thanks again !
edit:
lol - wrong file
I meant dhd_linux.c

ok, since I got several PMs already on this issue I'm posting the possible ways to solve this:
there are 2 solutions to tackle this issue:
- you fix the array errors in the code
- you force the wifi driver to compile in -Os (optimize for size) mode
the latter one is mainly used in several SGS kernels right now since e.g. fixing the array failures with some drivers strangely leads to non-functioning or broken wifi behavior (not connecting, etc.) [at least for me it did]
e.g.
in drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/Makefile
replace:
# bcm4329
DHDCFLAGS = -DLINUX -DBCMDRIVER -DBCMDONGLEHOST -DDHDTHREAD -DBCMWPA2 \
-DUNRELEASEDCHIP -Dlinux -DDHD_SDALIGN=64 -DMAX_HDR_READ=64 \

Trying to build the stock kernel from source [SOLVED]

edit: The stock kernel can be built following this thread.
I'm trying to build the stock kernel from source (the one from huaweidevice). I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
I've gotten this far:
- I've extracted config from phone /proc/config.gz and copied it to kernel/.config
- I went through this guide: source.android.com source initializing.html
- I created some symbolic links to get rid of file not found errors when compiling:
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/net/netfilter$ ln -s xt_connmark.c xt_CONNMARK.c
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/net/netfilter$ ln -s xt_HL.c xt_hl.c
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/net/netfilter$ ln -s xt_MARK.c xt_mark.c
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter$ ln -s ipt_ECN.c ipt_ecn.c
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/include/linux/netfilter$ ln -s xt_mark.h xt_MARK.h
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4$ ln -s ipt_ecn.h ipt_ECN.h
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/include/linux/netfilter$ ln -s xt_DSCP.h xt_dscp.h
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4$ ln -s ipt_ttl.h ipt_TTL.h
kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/include/linux/netfilter_ipv6$ ln -s ip6t_hl.h ip6t_HL.h
Now for the cross compilation I've tried 3 different toolchains:
- The ones from developer.android.com sdk ndk index.html
- and codesourcery.com sgpp lite arm portal package8734/public/arm-none-eabi/arm-2011.03-42-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
then I've tried compiling with:
make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=.../android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
and
make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=.../android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi-
and
make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=.../arm-2011.03/bin/arm-none-eabi-
they all give me output similar to this (this is with the 4.4.0 toolchain):

sorry for the messed up links, I'm not allowed to post links (yet).
Any ideas how to get forward?
The reason I'm doing this is that I want to fix the bug that the internal mic is disabled when a stereo headphone / or a 3.5mm jack - 2xrca cable is plugged in. I think I can fix it from kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo/kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm/rpc_server_handset.c, but first I have to get my build environment working

copy missing files instead of link
xt_MARK.c and xt_mark.c are not the same, at least in my source
try copy the missing file from android source
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=tree

It worked I copied all the files from the git instead of ln -s.
"Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready"
Thanks for the quick reply.
Then I had to remove comment out CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA=y line from .config and answer no to two questions when running make.
I used the 4.4.0 toolchain
Now I have the zImage but don't know how it'll work because the CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA probably has something to do with the display type.
BTW I've taken a backup with genokolar's recovery img. When I try this new kernel and if I can't boot, I should be able to get it to boot again by doing a restore from the earlier backup?
Now I'll start looking into packing the kernel to an .img (android-dls.com wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images#Structure_of_boot_and_recovery_images)..

OK. I copied the boot.img from the phone in bootloader mode, unpacked it with unpack-bootimg.pl. Then I bsdiffed (binary diff) the resulting boot.img-kernel.gz with the Image file I built, the patch file is only 389K so looks like they are quite similar. The only differences may be because of the display thing I changed in the Makefile.
Might try tomorrow to replace the unpacked kernel with the Image file and see if it works. What is the worst case scenario? I should always be able to restore from the old backup if it doesn't boot?
Maybe I'll also try to get the display thing to build right before trying it on the phone
edit: I read somewhere the .gz extension in the unpacked kernel file is a bug with the unpacking script, so "boot.img-kernel.gz" is actually the unpacked kernel file (so it should be the same as compiled Image) ?

Looks like the unpack-bootimg.pl and repack-bootimg.pl are not working right for the U8800 boot.img. I just tried to unpack the original boot.img and repack it, I got a blue screen when trying to boot. I could restore the original just by going to bootloader mode and copying back the original.
Any ideas how to unpack and repack the boot.img of the U8800?

You can repack the boot/recovery images with the following:
Code:
./mkbootfs RAMDISK DIRECTORY | ./minigzip > ramdisk-boot.img
./mkbootimg --kernel KERNEL --ramdisk ramdisk-boot.img --base 0x00200000 --pagesize 4096 --cmdline 'console=ttyDCC0 androidboot.hardware=huawei' -o boot.img
I just modified the repack perl script accordingly and added lines so that it will mount cust_backup and transfer the image across for me. Saves heaps of time.

I used the unpack script from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891333 then modified the line "#$bootimg = substr($bootimg,2048);" to "$bootimg = substr($bootimg,4096);". There's still a difference of 215 bytes with the repacked img, but it works.
Now I can test the kernel I built myself. Thank you for the help.
edit: Looks like the built kernel doesn't work, now I can start tackling that

CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA=y
if you see only blue screen when you boot your own kernel, refer to my experience, edit .config, change 2 lines as below instead of comment out CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA=y should fix it
CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_AUTO_DETECT=y
CONFIG_FB_MSM_TRY_MDDI_CATCH_LCDC_PRISM=y
BTW, there is a tool "abootimg" which is quite handy for packing the kernel
http://gitorious.org/ac100/abootimg

Works! great! Thanks for the help. Hopefully soon I can release my fixed kernel

Sorry, I'm new to Android. What advantages are there if you get the stock kernel or whatever?

"Stock" means the kernel that comes with the phone when you buy it. I just wanted to build it so I could modify it. I created a modified kernel that allows you to use the internal mic with headphones or for example when you connect the phone to your car stereo. The modified kernel is in the other thread.
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App

So with custom kernel you can achieve more functionality just like normal linux? Good. Would be awesome.

[Q] Get kernel framebuffer console

Hello XDA users!
I'm so confused with this thing. I've been trying to do that nearly a month. After a billion google queries and phone reboots (if my N4 could throw up, it would) I got nothing.
First of all, I can't compile the kernel.
Sys info: I'm on Arch Linux 3.12.1-3-ARCH 64 bit.
I have all the three google toolchains (arm-linux-androideabi-4.{6,7,8}) and currently I'm trying with 4.8.
With default config (I stress that) I get this: http://showterm.io/1a41b9af919653f53a890
I use google's repo (https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git) on the android-msm-mako-3.4-kitkat-mr0 branch (I use occam-krt16o build on my N4).
I know this must be noobish problem, but I have no idea what's the problem...
Thanks in advance!

I've got some news!
First of all, you need to edit scripts/gcc-wrapper.py to use python2.7 and not 3.
However, 4.8 toolchain spits some errors and I'm not really into casting spells just to compile with 4.8 instead of 4.7. If there is a major difference between them (performance improvements etc.) I'll look into it.
Now it's time to implement the framebuffer changes to the .config
for more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10075806&postcount=3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18256605&postcount=1
UPDATE: Well, I applied this patch (https://github.com/Tasssadar/kernel...a9d#diff-94babbe85a910bf17f882465a760c431R608), I can only get blank screen. Any ideas?

Bump.

Hi does anyone know how to get this to work.
I have an Alcatel OT918D ANDROID 2.3.5.
I have managed to compile my own kernel and boot it. But for adding the frame buffer option in the makefile I get this error during compilation:

Trying to port to MB886 - Struggling with build setup

Hello,
I've successfully built CM12 in the past for the Motorola Atrix HD (mb886), and was looking to try porting omni 5.0 to the device.
I've set up the device at https://github.com/ssuds/android_device_motorola_mb886 following the steps at http://docs.omnirom.org/Porting_Omni_To_Your_Device. I believe I've set up the omni_mb886.mk and omni.dependencies files correctly, but please feel free to refer to my github source to confirm.
To accommodate the external references to common CM modules I added:
Code:
<remote name="cm"
review="review.cyanogenmod.org"
fetch="https://github.com/CyanogenMod" />
to manifest XML. I also added:
Code:
<remote name="tm"
fetch="https://github.com/TheMuppets" />
to account for proprietary blobs.
When I try building, I get the below error:
Code:
[email protected]:~/android/omni$ brunch mb886
build/core/product_config.mk:227: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/motorola/mb886/omni_mb886.mk]]: "frameworks/native/build/phone-xhdpi-1024-dalvik-heap.mk" does not exist. Stop.

Getting closer, I hope...
Now am able to get the mb886 in the lunch menu... With a catch.
If I do a breakfast command, it shows the lunch menu with only the "full-eng" option. After that, if I do the lunch command it only shows "full-eng".
However, if I setup my build environment again ( . build/envsetup.sh) and then lunch, omni_mb886-userdebug shows up... But the build breaks with that error.

So it looks like I'm actually missing a bunch of build directories, which totally explains why this isn't working out...
My CM directory:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My Omni directory:
Clearly this is linked to my issues with repo... So I guess the real question is, what is wrong with my repo setup that is causing these issues?
Edit: My omni directory is a mere 676 MB... I should have realized this much sooner.
Edit2: I think I'm on the right track. Starting from scratch using the repo reference flag linked to my already downloaded source. 60% of the source is downloaded so far, we will see where it goes.

Update:
It builds! Finally got all my references and source synced properly. Omni is building for the MB886 currently.

Hit a new snag while building.
The build starts out fine. However, it only lasts about 5 minutes and then ends with:
Code:

[email protected]:~/omni2$
There's no ZIP in the Out>Target>Product>mb886 directory.
Same thing happens whether I use brunch mb886 or lunch mb886 and then mka...
Anyone have any ideas? @TecknoFreak maybe?
Edit:Think I might have got it, my javac version was on 1.7 and i switched it back to 1.6... we shall see.
Edit2: now it builds further but breaks on an audio blob

Any luck on this? I get the exact same error, except I'm building AOSP.

I somehow missed this thread.
Some of the issues I saw there look like they may have been CAF-related. With 5.0, we never completed the process of merging the CAF branches of frameworks/av and frameworks/native so they coexisted. (To make a long story short, that was primarily my task and I was catastrophically burned out and pretty much gone for 3-4 months... Then 5.1 dropped.)
As of today, working on a CAF device requires syncing the android-5.1-caf branches of frameworks/native and frameworks/av - Also, we use a different naming method for determining which QCOM CAF variant of display/audio/media HALs to use. You might want to try finding a device with a similar CPU to get ideas of how that was brought up. I remember when bringing up falcon in 4.4, I also had to add some oddball Moto-specific patches that aren't in our 5.x branches because I never had the time to resurrect that device. (I have more time now, but I've got a LOT of catching up to do...)
Right now:
CAF "b-family" (8226, 8974, etc) devices are current focus, especially 8974s, I'm going to be working this weekend on getting the CAF branches of av/native to coexist in our tree without syncing funky branches
CAF "a-family" devices (8960, 8064, etc.) are "here be dragons" - The Sony guys have them semi-working I believe, but the a-fam stuff needs a LOT of work. Getting a bootable device is feasible, but getting a usable device (especially media/AV stuff) requires us to fix a bunch of stuff

Awesome, thank you for the direction @Entropy512! I've been kinda busy with other stuff recently, but when I get the chance I'll definitely try again to spin this up using that set up!

Hi there,
How did you get rid of these errors?
I use these commands but get the above errors all the time:
repo init -u https://github.com/omnirom/android.git -b android-4.4
repo sync -j4 -f --no-clone-bundle
I am just a beginner so help will be appreciated...
Thanks!

ssuds, Did you ever solve this problem?

No... I gave up.
