[TUTORIAL] How to download and compile ICS from source

To compile Ice Cream Sandwich on Ubuntu I'm going to first give you steps to set up your computer to get this thing rolling.

This will NOT make a fully functional ROM, but will give you a place to start. Also I CANNOT fix every error you run into.
Note: The source download is approximately 6GB in size. You will need 25GB free to complete a single build, and up to 80GB (or more) for a full set of builds.

Thanks dastin1015 - For base instruction for compile

1) You need the following:
- JDK 6 if you wish to build Ice Cream Sandwich
You can download it from oracle.com. Or:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
for a Ubintu 11.10
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ orcelot partner"

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

- Python 2.4 -- 2.7
You can download from python.org. Or:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python

- Git 1.7 or newer
You can find it at git-scm.com. Or:

Code:

sudo apt-get install git-core

2) Install required packages:

Code:

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev libreadline6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils

On newer versions of Ubuntu such as 11.10 you may need to do the following:

Code:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so

3) Configure your USB:

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Inside of this blank text file insert:

Code:

4) Save the file and close it and then issue this command:

Code:

sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

5) Install the repo:

Code:

mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

6) Reboot PC:
7) Initialize the repo:

Code:

mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
- For AOSP
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.3_r1
- For CM9
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
- For AOKP
repo init -u git://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b master
- For IceColdSandwitch
repo init -u git://github.com/IceColdSandwich/android.git -b ics

8) When prompted, enter your real name and email address.
9) Gather the files:

Code:

repo sync

10) Compiling:

Code:

source build/envsetup.sh
Or:
. build/envsetup.sh

11) Issue:

Code:

lunch

12) Pick your poison.
13) Now issue:

Code:

make -j4

Build for Sony Ericsson device
1) Download sources for ARMv6

Code:

cd ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/
repo init -u git://github.com/OldXperia/android.git -b ics
repo sync -j4 or low if you have bad internet

2) Compile:

Code:

source build/envsetup.sh
Or:
. build/envsetup.sh

4) Get your list of devices:

Code:

lunch

5) Pick your poison.
6) Now compile:

Code:

make -j4

- Or for a flashable zip:

Code:

make -j4 otapackage

NOTE
If you are running into issues such as:

Code:

Which would you like? [full-eng] 5
build/core/product_config.mk:209: *** No matches for product "full_shooter".  Stop.
Device shooter not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (http://github.com/CyanogenMod).
Repository for shooter not found in the CyanogenMod Github repository list. If this is in error, you may need to manually add it to your local_manifest.xml.
build/core/product_config.mk:209: *** No matches for product "full_shooter".  Stop.

** Don't have a product spec for: 'full_shooter'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?

What you need to do is to edit your blob to match the PRODUCT_NAME to the file name. For example with mine I have full_shooter.mk therefore in this file I need to have PRODUCT_NAME to match it. Whatever error it is looking for you just need to change the PRODUCT_NAME line to match what the error shows.

In future versions of udev, "SYSFS" will be deprecated and has to be replaced by "ATTR". So it depends on what version of udev is installed in your distribution.

Yes, you just need propietary files, but is almost the same process

PD: Paul, im setting up my dev enviroment, soon ill help you a bit on framework, and maybe I learn C and help you on libs :P
PD2: Ubuntu 11.10 original unity interface sux.. i like Gnome

EDIT: 15 mins and after i thought it was ok, then
device/semc/msm7x27-common/libgralloc/mapper.cpp: In function 'int gralloc_perform(const gralloc_module_t*, int, ...)':

Freaking classic on android -.-, Ill try again 2morrow
