[Q] Compiling diff patch with sources(Windows)

alen1901 · Oct 18, 2012 at 12:13 AM

Hi guys, i googled so much about that but everything is for linux. I found some tutorials but now im stuck. I need some dev or anyone who uses git, compiling with sources and applying diff on windows, to teach me some steps. I know how to download source codes, but dunno which to use for what and how. Basically i "just" need to apply diff to source code and compile.

I am posting this here because here are great devs and people, and also i would like to compile for nexus s.
I hope someone could help me with that.

Not to be rude, but why not just use Linux?

You can use ubuntu's wubi installer to install Ubuntu in windows, in such a way that it doesn't involve creating new partitions or messing with bootloaders.

How much space does it uses when installed? Im low.

also, do you know, what sources i need to download if i want to apply one of evilisto mods? Framework_base and app package settings? Because if i download all sources on my drive it will take a lot od GBs and download will last forever. Or there is not a way other than full download?

Usually not. I have desperate hard drive forw windows. If your low on space to that point maybe you should invest in a new hard drive.

Get a smaller distro and its no biggie on space. Not like puppy dog but maybe kbuntu xbuntu, etc

Or anything debbain, really, saves loads of time. Gentoo is hard to learn, gotta be good at linux for it.

I'm sure the ubuntu wubi installer will let you specify D: as the target drive.

Guess what, i need help.

i put sources to download few hours, i was out on a drink. When i came back, ubuntu was frozen. Mouse, keyboard, picture, terminal. So i could just hit restart button and i lost all what was downloaded until that. Do you know what might couse that? I put 10gb for instalation on wubi. Now i installed it again with 20gb and i will try again. Maybe i was low on ubuntu partition space?

Probably, I think 20gb is probably not enough for compiling a whole ROM. Go for 100GB and allow a generous swap space, at least 16GB. If you are compiling the kernel, 20gb will be enough, and you won't need as much swap either.

But one you get used to Ubuntu you'll probably want to keep it, so you might as well allocate as much space as you can.

On installation i can choose from 2gb-35gb for ubuntu. Not higher. But i have 120gb of free disk. And why i need swap etc. I just need to download rom sources, apply diff patch and compile.

Wubi sucks, slow, instability....imho.

bedalus · Oct 21, 2012 at 12:35 PM

Your other option is to delete everything off d: that you can afford to lose, then use the ordinary Ubuntu install disk to repartition d: manually before installing.

Nah, i dont want to do that. I just want to try this out, if it works, i would maintain mods for few most popular roms(or make only for myself), but i wouldnt use ubuntu and that stuff every day. Thats why i hoped i can do it like mentioned in posts.
