If you do make clobber before starting a new build, the build date wil change to the day you make a fresh build...

It takes time, I would recommend to watch a movie while it goes

35~40 Minues on my baby (It would go faster if I used my SSD but I don't.)

The only part you need your device connected is when you need to get the proprietary blobs (cd ~/android/system/device/asus/grouper/) then "./extract-files.sh" I believe that is the command (Please refer to the Cyanogenmod wiki for this)

yea you gotta " make clobber " or " make clean " then " . build/envsetup.sh " and finally " brunch grouper "

hopes this helps

on a side note for the people building (that haven't make a .zip yet) It will take lots of time (for slower computers that is) im guessing for laptops that are dual and quad core 4~8GBs ram are gonna take around 3~7 hours depending on your system and what kind of storage you are using (HDD vs SSD) so be patient (your laptop might even over heat some do) but if you finish you will get something at the end of the terminal saying

Running Releasetool.........

So after your first repo sync ever later builds will take a lot less time? And also do you have to repo sync every time to update to a new nightly or version?

No.. Repo sync is used to download source code from git..
You should do repo sync about once a week, to make sure you have the latest code, all up to date..
Builds will take anywhere from 15 mins to 8-9 hours.. Depending on how powerful your machine is... And how many jobs your processor can handle simultaneously..
You dont even need to do make clean or make clobber everytime you build..
But if you make any change in the source/device tree, then you'll have to clean before making a new build, otherwise the changes wont vet picked up...
PS : build time can be reduced by something called CCACHE or Compiler Cache..
Mine reduced from 6.5 hrs down to a little over 2....
Its info is there in the tutorial fattire has written...

OK thanks and you only the proprietary files once, and does make clobber or clean take awhile or just a few minutes, and how much ccache do you recommend?

I think this is a good time for a fresh plug to check out all the stuff we've written for the wiki, particularly in the development section. Check under Learning to build CM.

So many of the questions that are being asked here are answered there.

i got it all workin thanks to bhargz16!
