Hey guys, the experienced devs atleast. For my first project I wanted to give a shot at bringing android 4.3 aosp to our phone. The problem I'm having is when syncing the android repos. After 'repo sync' it takes forever and eventually locks up. After lock up I'm unable to reboot ubuntu. Ive reinstalled 3 times trying to get this to sync. Following googles directions exactly. Anyone have experience with preparing to build AOSP from source? Help would be awesome

I've narrowed it down. The boot problem occurs after installing the remaining dependencies then symlinking libgl.so. After that a reboot causes either a blank screen or black screen with flashing cursor after the Ubuntu logo.

 

I have found the culprit! In setting up my build enviroment, when installing "libgl1-mesa-glx:i386" causes..



I believe its removing half the dependencies ubuntu needs to actually fully boot. Does anyone else recognize this? I have successfully installed every last thing required except this last lib

Mods if there is a better placs for this thread, please do move it thanks

Edit: it seems that [HIGH]libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal:i386[/HIGH] is already installed. So im wondering if
[HIGH]libgl1-mesa-glx:i386[/HIGH]
and
[HIGH]sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so[/HIGH]
is even necessary? Still doing research. Apparently its because in Ubuntu 12.04.02 some new X variants were used.

 

Lmfao. Ubuntu's site only lists a server edition of 10.04. What would you perfer/recommend? as I always thought this was pretty much the standard. I dont feel like spending hours preparing my Arch Linux build, and I removed OpenSuSE to make extra hdd space for repo syncs

Im going to try a test sync and build to see if it will work without that lib, maybe

 

I use cli quite a bit, but i like a decent gui, cinnamon or lxde/xfce. Hmm. Well shit, I guess I should test and see if this works, or just install a different distro. Both would be about the same work. Bahhh.

 

Im getting 10.04.4 desktop 64 now. I am interested in building a kernel too, was my first thought, but then i saw the couple on here that are already great! and only one rom.

 

i dont, im completely scratch with this phone. ive only ever edited 4.0.3 sense 3.6 roms so im fairly new to building

 

well, setting up 10.04 now, back in a bit haha

 

Thanks a ton for that!

Tapatalk ftw! , wasting 24 hrs configuring and reinstalling ubuntu 12.04 is not what's up

 

I

It certainly will be and I'm excited. Only rocking an Asus laptop i3 @ 2.4x4 and 4gb ram, but it'll do, 10.04.4 64bit desktop almost done installing then lots of setup todo

Edit: finished. Kernel 2.6.x eeeck I was just rocking the July release of 3.10.x lol

Edit2: seems I'm gonna have to get my wifi working before anything... Phone research ftw

 

I'll b setting one up in a minute have to use windows to get wifi files

 

Thanks JerryScript Maybe I'll go back to 12.04, well see if I get ndiswrapper setup easy enough or not.
