Android source code missing mm and mmm

---

Hello,

I'm new to xda so I cannot post to the developer forums. So I am posting here. Hope that's OK. Xda suggested I post here after searching for an answer to my question.

I'm trying to add an application to the android source code in packages/apps. I have been following several tutorials and they all use the "mm" command to build their app they are adding. But I can't find the "mm" command in any of the android source code that I have downloaded and built.

-- mm: Builds all of the modules in the current directory.

Does anyone know what my problem is? Does mm have to be downloaded separately? When I build android source code, I get a folder containing lots of commands but mm is not there.

OK I think what I learned was that if I carefully and correctly built the original pristine source code downloaded using repo, then mm would become available. So what this means is I have to build the original pristine code before I add my app to packages/apps so then I can use mm to build my app that I added to packages/app. Whew! What a process. So PROBLEM SOLVED, but really ugly.

Hi
I have the same problem

you mean just make the original platform code , then the mm command can work ?

Isn't it enough to just do:

source build/envsetup.sh

...to make it available?
