How to Compile Aosp Android on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)

Make sure adb and the android sdk are installed before proceeding. If you need help on ADB --help. Now for the fun. This took me a minute to figure out but was painless in the process. Here are the apps needed.

Repo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
sudo apt-get update


32 & 64 Bit:

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush gcc-4.4 g++-4.4

64 Bit:

sudo apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.4-multilib g++-4.4-multilib


After you install these needed packages we will need to make sure Ubuntu is symlinked gcc & g++ > 4.4 instead of the default 4.5.

Remove the symlinks:

cd /usr/bin/
sudo rm i686-linux-gnu-g++
sudo rm i686-linux-gnu-gcc
sudo rm g++
sudo rm gcc


Re-add the symlinks:

sudo ln -s g++-4.4 i686-linux-gnu-g++
sudo ln -s g++-4.4 g++
sudo ln -s gcc-4.4 i686-linux-gnu-gcc
sudo ln -s gcc-4.4 gcc


This should be your final product.

Then you just make your build director, sync up your repo and build your sweet android rom!

Hope you have fun compiling android on Ubuntu 11.04!
