So I've read through both posts several times, and now that I have a new laptop its around the 6th time (not exaggerating) that I set up Ubuntu and the "build enviroment" from scratch.
This time though my problem seems to be with java >_<...
build/core/config.mk:269: *** Error: could not find jdk tools.jar, please install JDK6, which you can download from java.sun.com. Stop.
Device olympus not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (
http://github.com/CyanogenMod).
Found repository: android_device_motorola_olympus
Duplicate device 'CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_olympus' found in local_manifest.xml.
build/core/config.mk:269: *** Error: could not find jdk tools.jar, please install JDK6, which you can download from java.sun.com. Stop.
** Don't have a product spec for: 'generic_olympus'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
I have the correct JDK installed (sun not openjdk) version 1.6.0_31, and looking through the folders I can find the tools.jar file in the directory, I've even tried to point it out by putting:
# Variable ANDROID_JAVA_HOME
ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31/lib
export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME
into my .bashrc. Also tried changing the ANDROID_JAVA_HOME variable to the HOST_JAVA_TOOLS_JAR variable which seems to be what the build/core/config.mk file cant find.... Yet still no hope

... as of now Im not even worried about the "Device Olympus not found" error as I've had it before. Dont really know how I fixed it but atleast I know I can lol...
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks =]
