Help anyone know a darn thing about building source code?

[nickdalzell]

Because no matter what i never can get this to work without it aborting for even the most insignificant error. this time i edited a few things and it at least attempted to build Cyanogenmod, but it gave this line of jargon and aborted. i can't make sense of it. it's gibberish as far as i am concerned...Google ain't no help either.

Wow, I wish I could help ya there nick. Would that be something a developer would know?
If so, Capt. Throwback or robobob are the first that come to mind. Perhaps you can p.m. them...

 

[nickdalzell]

yeah it went over my head too...this is an attempt at building a Avail/Merit port of CM 7. but like my past experiences with Linux tooling this is often the result--and half the time i am not sure what went wrong or wtf the output means....

the Merit is a nice phone FWIW but without CyanogenMod and this halt at a standstill i'm considering finding some way to port the old Optimus V i had that ran the same ROM to work on Verizon. it's a CDMA phone tied to Sprint but a little hacking and i can port my number to Verizon's pre-paid. having a phone without the means to run CM 7 is a deal breaker. i wish i had known that before being sold on its $50 sale pricetag then.

yeah it went over my head too...this is an attempt at building a Avail/Merit port of CM 7.

Looking at the log you posted, you are trying to port to armv7:

TARGET_ARCH=arm
TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT=armv7-a

Avail/Merit is using an armv6 chip.

 

[nickdalzell]

i think i got ahead of myself--i hadn't even edited the mk files properly nor pulled the necessary stuff from my phone yet. sorry, new developer here! i'm a total n00b to this! trying to build the CyanogenMod ROM without the stuff necessary to do so.

first mistake i made was trying to build using blade resources. the blade is using the ArmV7 chip. (no wonder it bootlooped when i tried flashing one of those!). what i need to do is edit all the files to match my device, pull some files from my device, and build from there.
