Hi folks, Have some feedback on the docs online http://source.android.com/source/download.html that could be considered for improvement:
1. docs say 32-bit linux ubuntu is supported, but on compile you get an error that says (build/core/main.mk) "$(warning You are attempting to build on a 32-bit system.) $(warning Only 64-bit build environments are supported beyond froyo/2.2.)" 2. docs say 64-bit linux "has not been well tested", but considering 32-bit isnt supported at all (above note) does this mean mac OS X is the only environment supported? 3. on related note, it's odd that mac os X 64-bit is not supported. In other words if you have a 64-bit macbook your only option is to build in linux, which as noted is not "well tested" 4. with respect to JDK version, it's vague. "JDK 5.0, update 12 or higher." suggest doc actually recommend a particular version, e.g. "JDK 5.0 Update X is known to be stable" I'm curious if there is a way to have a page of build setups that are known to work, ideally by repo revision? BTW I'm using a macbook i7 64-bit and have been reading the various developer notes and suggested workarounds for building on this machine, but it's pretty interesting to see how far the real support is for working on Mac and Linux compared with the statement that they are "official build platforms". regards, ms -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
