[TUT] Compile CM9 from source for the Xperia Play [UBUNTU]

---

Just before we start, Google says:

Note: The source download is approximately 6GB in size. You will need 25GB free to complete a single build, and up to 90GB (or more) for a full set of builds.

Google also test compiling on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but I used 10.10, 32 bit. These instructions are for Ubuntu version 10.04-11.10

To install JDK6 (needed):

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

FOR 64bit: You will need the required packages, so open up your terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
  zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
  x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
  libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
  libxml2-utils xsltproc

On Ubuntu 10.10:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so

On Ubuntu 11.10:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386

FOR 32bit (what I used): You will need the required packages, so open up your terminal and enter:

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 xsltproc

Now, onto downloading the source

First of all, you need to get the google repo tool, in a terminal:

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

Then reboot the PC

Now, we will actually initialize the repository:

mkdir -p ~/android/ics/
cd ~/android/ics/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics

Then enter your name and email address

Then:

repo sync -j8
if you have bad internet, use a smaller number than 8, eg. 4 or 2

Now, wait for the repo to sync (all 6GB of it )

Then after that is done, you need to setup vendor and device trees for our device

In the terminal again:

cd ~/android/ics/vendor/
git clone https://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_semc.git -b ics semc

Then:

cd ~/android/ics/device/
mkdir semc
cd semc
git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_msm7x30-common.git -b ics msm7x30-common
git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_zeus.git -b ics zeus
git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_zeus-common.git -b ics zeus-common

to sync changes since last sync:

cd ~/android/ics/
repo sync

get CM props:

cd ~/android/ics/vendor/cm/
./get-prebuilts

then to build :

Setup environment:

cd ~/android/ics/
. build/envsetup.sh

then to get device list:

lunch

Now, select the number that is cm_zeus-userdebug

Now to finally build:

make -j4 bacon

again, you can use a higher value than 4 if you have more cores and more ram.

My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.8GHz
4GB RAM
VirginMedia 50Mbps broadband

My time:
Time to sync: 2hours+
Time to compile: 5+ hours, using -j16 which made my laptop VERY laggy

Enjoy, run into any issues, post here please

Troubleshooting:
Getting this: http://pastebin.com/Cy55wKZK ?
FIX:
In a file manager open up the directory: android/ics/frameworks/base/telephony/tests/ and delete the telephonytests folder
this is harmless
then recompile again

Reserved again

In case you forget what that thing you're working on was for?

Only joking, good luck and all that.

Which thing? I happen to be working on a lot of things lol
But I was thinking, maybe I could provide something similar to CM Night lies, but obviously not every night?

Thanks, tutorial is now live

Is there a way to implement chevyowner's CDMA changes into it for the zeusc build? Should I contact him to do so after the compile completes?

we don't have a zeusc vendor or device tree for ICS yet, but I can get one set up
What I need from chevyowner is a list of changes he made to get it working on CDMA
