Root [CDMA] Android Build Environment setup guide


Awesome. It's like you knew I just set up my PC to dual boot Linux Mint and Windows 7 and was looking for a good tutorial. Every tutorial online is slightly different somehow.
I want to learn how to use Linux better and teach my 11yr old daughter. She taught herself to use Windows 7 with my book from college computer class on a PC I built for
for her. She's got potential. Thanks!

The job security and options that being a certified Linux admin opens up is like whoa

So I finally got a chance to set this up but when I go to set ccache, I don't have the ~/prebuilts/misc/linux-86/ccache folder. There's no ~/prebuilts folder at all, so I can't even set it up for Linaro either. Any idea why? I know I didn't put any commands in wrong because I copied and pasted everything and made sure it was all right.

have you synced a repository for what you want to build. this guide will only prepare your linux installation to build, you still have to sync a repository and download the source code, your prebuilts directory will be in there.
