[Q] Building ROM from downloaded Source

[chuckie987]

Hey,

I have downloaded the source code for my device - Lenovo S6000-H from the lenovo website but after reading many guides cant figure out how to compile it as all the rest use git to get the source.
I also dont think I need to change any enviromental variables as its the source for my model.

Using ubuntu 12.04.3 with JDK 6u35 and have the latest Android JDK/NDK
I have downloaded and install all needed programs and set up all my paths in ~/.bashrc

There isnt a single make file I can use to compile the whole system or does it need to be done in individual parts?
Couldnt find a lunchrc file either so unsure on how to compile it to get a flashable rom..

Any help appreciated

Thanks they did help but I dont think the source code they provided is complete as getting File not found errors,

You must try others sources.
I have the same problem as you. I'm able to compile various MT6577 sources but none works on my device.

Good luck and happy compiling. :fingers-crossed:
