[TUT] Compile CM9 from source for the Xperia Play [UBUNTU] - Xperia Play Android Development

Just before we start, Google says:
Note: The source download is approximately 6GB in size. You will need 25GB free to complete a single build, and up to 90GB (or more) for a full set of builds.

Google also test compiling on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but I used 10.10, 32 bit. These instructions are for Ubuntu version 10.04-11.10
To install JDK6 (needed):
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
FOR 64bit: You will need the required packages, so open up your terminal and enter:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc
On Ubuntu 10.10:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so
On Ubuntu 11.10:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386
FOR 32bit (what I used): You will need the required packages, so open up your terminal and enter:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev libreadline6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc
Now, onto downloading the source
First of all, you need to get the google repo tool, in a terminal:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Then reboot the PC
Now, we will actually initialize the repository:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/ics/
cd ~/android/ics/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
Then enter your name and email address
Then:
Code:
repo sync -j8
if you have bad internet, use a smaller number than 8, eg. 4 or 2
Now, wait for the repo to sync (all 6GB of it )
Then after that is done, you need to setup vendor and device trees for our device
In the terminal again:
Code:
cd ~/android/ics/vendor/
git clone https://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_semc.git -b ics semc
Then:
Code:
cd ~/android/ics/device/
mkdir semc
cd semc
git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_msm7x30-common.git -b ics msm7x30-common
git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_zeus.git -b ics zeus
git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_zeus-common.git -b ics zeus-common
to sync changes since last sync:
Code:
cd ~/android/ics/
repo sync
get CM props:
Code:
cd ~/android/ics/vendor/cm/
./get-prebuilts
then to build :
Setup environment:
Code:
cd ~/android/ics/
. build/envsetup.sh
then to get device list:
Code:
lunch
Now, select the number that is cm_zeus-userdebug
Now to finally build:
Code:
make -j4 bacon
again, you can use a higher value than 4 if you have more cores and more ram.
My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.8GHz
4GB RAM
VirginMedia 50Mbps broadband
My time:
Time to sync: 2hours+
Time to compile: 5+ hours, using -j16 which made my laptop VERY laggy
Enjoy, run into any issues, post here please

Troubleshooting:
Getting this: http://pastebin.com/Cy55wKZK ?
FIX:
In a file manager open up the directory: android/ics/frameworks/base/telephony/tests/ and delete the telephonytests folder
this is harmless
then recompile again

In case you forget what that thing you're working on was for?
Only joking, good luck and all that.

Which thing? I happen to be working on a lot of things lol
But I was thinking, maybe I could provide something similar to CM Night lies, but obviously not every night?

Is there a way to implement chevyowner's CDMA changes into it for the zeusc build? Should I contact him to do so after the compile completes?

we don't have a zeusc vendor or device tree for ICS yet, but I can get one set up
What I need from chevyowner is a list of changes he made to get it working on CDMA

There was a change in libs too? I thought it was only a build.prop hack?
Can you send me libs? I only have build.prop changes, and have merged them
anyway: https://github.com/keiranFTW/android_device_semc_zeusc <-- tis CDMA zeusc device configuration for CM9
should work

Forgot about that, will get you a download link tomorrow night if I can?
Newest CM9 ICS change log:
Data works brilliantly, although I never get H, just 3G
New adreno libs are there, faster rendering and all.
Some launcher shizz I didn't read
New CM9 boot animation when I add it into the make files
Reboot option works, unless used by ROM Manager
I think that hw decoder will be fixed soon, because I seen something about it on CM code review, about qualcomm omx which fixes video. Not sure it is working though, but there are tons of devices all with the same problem, it will be fixed
Ty,
Keiran

Once you have the libs merged, I'll start compiling myself

Ouch.
Have you tried Googling the error? Do you have the right version of Java set up?
Edit:
Do you have a vendor tree for zeusc? ~/android/ics/vendor/semc/zeusc? If not I can get one setup tonight.

Nice one KeiranFTW. Ran into some trouble install the JDK on 11.10. Had to install it from a ppa in the end. Details here.
Currently building. Shall see what happens
