You just need about half GB more of swap. To be sure let it be 4 GB all together.

can you explain this part a little more elaborately? I don't understand which path to give? can you give me an example of how it's done? I mean giving a path where you're working.
Just go to the folder where is bin subfolder and type this command or you can add your full path.
To make it permanent after reboot:
$ gedit ~/.bashrc
then add:
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
Just experiment a little
1.) using pastebin or the code feature here on XDA would make things a little easier to read - just mentioning this for future reference.
2) the make error points to line 77 in your .../sepolicy_intermediaries/policy.conf. file. Follow the path, outlined in terminal, and check to see if there are spelling errors, misaligned text, or spaces where they shouldn't be.
Unfortunately, files do occasionally get messed up, even if you don't edit them. Check for those errors first, and make clean. Hopefully it's a quick fix... If you're still getting errors, report back.

It was an error on my part. Make gnu wasn't installed properly. I reinstalled and all went well. Thanks for the tips though.

yes I did.. I think that I fixed it but now when I run It i's crashing.. can you help me with that?
alright this will be a bit long. I had followed this guide and with some help from a friend successfully built liquidsmooth for the samsung vibrant. well literally the build completed and the machine ran out of space at the same time. so i moved the build to desktop and i was forced to get of the computer by my mother. she then shut the computer down and ubuntu corrupted. i then booted to windows and deleted the ubuntu partition. i didnt know i had to fix the boot partition with the installation disc and ended up completely wiping the computer and reinstalling windows. next i tried ubuntu gnome through a usb drive and it had glitches so i decided to go back to regular ubuntu. here i started to set up the build enviroment and was setting paths following another guide to install make gnu and python(still not completely sure how to do thay properly a guide would be lovely) alll of a sudden sudo, su, and ls were not recognized as a command nothing i did or googled worked permanately. so i wiped the partition fixed the boot partition and reinstalled the ubuntu again and just started using this guide. just got done installing the sdk and i went to install the 64bit only libs(the ubuntu is 64 bit but windows is 32) and it says the very first one is not a command. so i tried sudo apt-get and then the command and it says that it is incorrect. i tried the 32 bit and 64 bit system and that didnt work either. Does anyone know what could be going on? i have java jdk6 installed.
And while compiling for my phone grand quattro i am stuck at this error
Code:
Import includes file: /home/himanshu/cm11/out/target/product/delos3geur/obj/EXECUTABLES/reboot_intermediates/import_includes
Export includes file: system/core/reboot/Android.mk -- /home/himanshu/cm11/out/target/product/delos3geur/obj/EXECUTABLES/reboot_intermediates/export_includes

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....Any help????
Wow man, that was a doozy of a read, lol. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're installing the 64bit Ubuntu on a 32bit machine, correct? If so, that's your issue right there... You can't compile Android in a 32bit architecture.
If I'm wrong, and you have a 64bit box, then I suggest following this guide, which has updated instructions, pertinent to 13.10 and its derivatives (Mint 16, Xubuntu, etc) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2224142. The guide is for building AOSP, but you can repo sync anything you want, when you get to the corresponding step.
As for building gnu and python, I wouldn't even bother if I were you...at least not in your build machine. If you want to learn how to do it, do so on another box. Just use "sudo apt-get install python" and "apt-get install gnu blah blah blah" (related libs) when necessary, and you should be good.
Also, how are you setting up you Ubuntu install? If you're losing the ability to sudo, you may not have set your home directory mount point correctly... It should be mounted as root or simply "/" (without quotes obviously), and should anyways be a primary directory. Hopefully this will help you, but if not, report back, and we'll try again.

Alright so part of it was correct for one the computer shipped with 32 bit but has 2 GB of ram and can run 64 bit that's what I successfully compiled on when Ubuntu corrupted. As for the second part thanks I didn't know that you could just run the sudo apt-get ins all pythonand i installed Ubuntu the same as last time I accidentally cha he'd the execution line and corrupted it

Building CM 11.0 for P5100
Hi,
This is my first attempt at building a rom,
I try to build CM 11.0 for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and I've followed the guide at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_p5100.
Everything went ok up until I made this step
I get this :
I have no idea on what's happening. I'm learning but currently I'm stucked
And this time Google was not my friend.
Any help would be appreciated..

You initially did not have device folder(s). Now try repo sync again, and try brunch again (or breakfast, or lunch, or whatever).

This is a guide to Compile From any CyanogenMod and CyanogenMod Source-Based source for Any Phone. This guide is for linux , Ubuntu etc.
What you’ll need
- A Phone Which runs Android
- A relatively recent computer (Linux, OS X, or Windows) w/a reasonable amount of RAM and storage. The less RAM you have, the longer the build will take. Using SSDs results in faster builds than traditional hard drives.
- A micro USB cable
- A decent Internet connection & reliable electricity
- Some familiarity with basic Android operation and terminology. It would help if you’ve installed custom roms on other devices and are familiar with what a recovery image such as ClockworkMod is, for example. It may also be useful to know some basic command line concepts such as cd for “change directory”, the concept of directory hierarchies, that in Linux they are separated by /, etc.
So let’s begin!
Build ROM and ClockworkMod Recovery
Prepare the Build Environment
Install the SDK
If you have not previously installed adb and fastboot, install the Android SDK. "SDK" stands for Software Developer Kit, and it includes useful tools that you will can use to flash software, look at the system logs in real time, grab screenshots, and more-- all from your computer.
Install the Build Packages
Several "build packages" are needed to build From Source. You can install these using the package manager of your choice.
For 32-bit & 64-bit systems, you'll need:
For 64-bit only systems, get these:Code:git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
For Linux Mint, you'll need:Code:g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-4.7-multilib g++-4.5-multilib
Code:libc6-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils
Create the directories
Code:mkdir -p ~/bin
Install the repo command
Enter the following to download the "repo" binary and make it executable (runnable):
Code:curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Put the ~/bin directory in your path of execution
Make sure that the ~/bin directory you just created is in your path of execution so that you can easily run the repo command even when you're not in ~/bin. Assuming you are using the BASH shell, the default in recent versions of Ubuntu, you can set it like this:
Code:export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
Initialize the source repository
Make a Folder to Download the Sources and cd to it. For That:
Code:mkdir -p ~/SourceCode:cd Source
Enter the following to initialize the repository:
Download the source code
Code:repo sync
Get prebuilt apps
Code:cd ~/Source/vendor/cmCode:./get-prebuilts
How To Compile is there on next post105Prepare the device-specific code
After the source downloads, type:
Code:. build/envsetup.sh
Then Do This
Where ***** is the codename for your deviceCode:breakfast ******
Extract proprietary blobs
Now ensure that your Phone is connected to your computer via the USB cable and that you are in the ~/Source/device/***/***** directory (you can cd ~/Source/device/***/****** if necessary). Run as Root if on Debian using sudo. Then run the this script:
orCode:./proprietary-files.sh
Code:./extract-files.sh
You should see the proprietary files (aka “blobs”) get pulled from the device and moved to the right place in the vendor directory. If you see errors about adb being unable to pull the files, adb may not be in the path of execution
Turn on caching to speed up build
Code:export USE_CCACHE=1
Start the build
Here ***** is the Phone CodenameCode:cd ~/Source brunch *****
If the build breaks...
If you experience this not-enough-memory-related error...
...you may want to make the following change to This File : system/build/tools/releasetools/common.pyCode:ERROR: signapk.jar failed: return code 1make: *** [out/target/product/n7100/cm_n7100-ota-eng.root.zip] Error 1
Change: java -Xmx2048m to java -Xmx1024m or java -Xmx512m
Then start the build again (with brunch).
If you see a message about things suddenly being “killed” for no reason, your (virtual) machine may have run out of memory or storage space. Assign it more resources and try again.
Install the build
Assuming the build completed without error (it will be obvious when it finishes), type:
Code:# cd $OUT
in the same terminal window that you did the build. Here you’ll find all the files that were created. The stuff that will go in /system is in a folder called system. The stuff that will become your ramdisk is in a folder called root. And your kernel is called... kernel.
But that’s all just background info. The two files we are interested in are (1) recovery.img, which contains ClockworkMod recovery, and (2) cm-[something].zip, which contains ROM.
Install ROM
Back to the $OUT directory on your computer-- you should see a file that looks something like:
Here *** is the phone codenameCode:cm-10-20120718-UNOFFICIAL-***.zip
Now you can flash the ...zip file above as usual via recovery mode. (Be sure you have backed up any previous installation before trying your new build.)
Feedbacks to this guide 18The issue with guides like these is they are specific to one version of Ubuntu. I successfully build Android on gentoo, which has about as little in common with Ubuntu as possible. Hence we prefer to go for guides which, where possible, teach the reasoning, rather than the method.
For building CM, this might be worthwhile merging into the "how to build android from source" one?
Unfortunately this guide isn't usable for most people, as it relies on the hacksung build scripts, so you can only build for certain devices...
What might be better is a guide on using roomservice via lunch, to build for any device?6What if i want to compile the PAC rom?
https://github.com/PAC-man
Downloading Ubuntu now!! Excited!!
Edit figured it out myself!!
repo init -u git://github.com/PAC-man/android.git -b jellybean
thankx anyways...
ya and you might need a minor edits to makefiles in the config ...
btw
this is a thread maintained by me

so feel free to post your errors that you encounter....
@op
explain what every step means rather then just copy paste....
