strictly for the entertainment value, i decided to follow the instructions here for 64-bit ubuntu:
http://source.android.com/source/download.html as i have a perfectly stock install of ubuntu 10.04, i had to make a couple tweaks -- some of the packages in the "required list" have been slightly renamed and, since i didn't feel like regressing my java 6 to java 5, i cavalierly ripped out the test for the version of java that would normally cause the build to fail and typed "make". a couple hours later, it finished: ... Generated: (out/target/product/generic/android-info.txt) Target system fs image: out/target/product/generic/obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_unopt_intermediates/system.img Install system fs image: out/target/product/generic/system.img Target ram disk: out/target/product/generic/ramdisk.img Target userdata fs image: out/target/product/generic/userdata.img Installed file list: out/target/product/generic/installed-files.txt $ am i to assume then that i successfully built the entire code base using java 6? other than numerous compilation warnings, i didn't notice any build errors. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
