22Hello guys i'm here with my first guide of how to build cyanmobile from source for galaxy fit ......
As you all might know cyanmobile went opensource thanks to squadzone now we can compile it from source with our own modifiactions.....
Requirements
1)Linux machine (recommended 64bit and ubuntu) with atleast 50gb free space
2)Common sense of how to use google and fix errors
3)Basic knowledge of git and its commands
4)A possibilty of bricking your fit
5)A fast and stable internet connection
now lets get started
Assuming we have linux installed
installing required build packages
from terminal
Note:- All the packages are important dont skip any of themHTML:sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
now making the directories to download the source
HTML:mkdir -p ~/bin mkdir -p ~/android/system
here mkdir stands for make directory
~ refers to your home folder (incase if you are a beginner)
Next
making the repo command executable
copy paste this terminal
HTML:curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Reboot your system after executing this
This defines the repo command or the repo command usable on your machine
chmod is giving permissions to the folder a+x is the permissions given don't go deep into this.
Next
Downloading the source
i will be referring execute to copy pasting in the terminal
HTML:repo init -u git://github.com/CyanMobile/android_cyanmobile.git -b gingerbread
now
repo sync
alternatives
repo sync -jx
here x can be anything depends on your internet speed ther will x number of simultaneous download if you use the arguement
like if you use
repo sync -j4
There will 4 downloads going on simulatneously
Next after the source has been downloaded you will find someting like this...
syncing working tree 100
now you have the source downloaded
Preparing the build environment
install java jdk6 or jdk 5 using this tutorial
http://codingforme.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/installing-oracle-java-jdk-6-or-7-on-ubuntu-12-04/
Install the android sdk following this tutorial
http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-an-android-app-build-environment-with-eclipse-android-sdk-phonegap-ubuntu-11.04
not testsed on jdk 7 so better use 6 or 5
fix its path using "export PATH=$PATH:"ur sdk path""
ur sdk path depends on where you install it
install adb using this guide

Connect your phone with usb debugging enabled and execute this
preferable do this when you are on a cm based rom ..
HTML:adb devices
if you see something like this its working for you
now go to device > samsung > beni execute extract-files.sh as root use sudo and drag that to terminal and hit enterHTML:List of devices attached S5670efac482b device
now cd into the root of your source folder
HTML:cd ~/android/system
then
HTML:source buid/envsetup.sh
HTML:lunch
you will see all the build properties something like this
HTML:PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL PLATFORM_VERSION=2.3.8 TARGET_PRODUCT=cyanogen_beni TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng TARGET_SIMULATOR=false TARGET_BUILD_TYPE=release TARGET_BUILD_APPS= TARGET_ARCH=arm TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT=armv6-vfp HOST_ARCH=x86 HOST_OS=linux HOST_BUILD_TYPE=release BUILD_ID=GINGERBREAD
now type make -jx otapackage
x depends on your hardware more it is faster the build
you will find the built one in out/samsung/beni /cm--xxx.zip
Flash it and enjoy
