This is only for system files, the instructions for kernel making will come as soon as i get some time.

If u want to learn building from source, cyanogenmod is the best place to start with. What u need is UBUNTU/DEBIAN , i would recommend start with ubuntu as i find it the best to start with it. U should have atleast 20gb of storage in ubuntu. U can use a virtual machine or full OS anything which suits u.

To start with nexus one
Making ur computer ready to build
1. sudo aptitude install git-core gnupg sun-java6-jdk flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev
2. If u have 64 bit version add this (only for 64bit)
sudo aptitude install ia32-libs lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib

3. cd ~
4. mkdir bin
5. cd bin
6. echo $PATH

Here i would recommend editing ur .baschrc in your home directory. It is a hidden file so u have to edit it in terminal using command gedit .baschrc
and adding a line to the last line export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

Now u have to setup repo
1. curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo
2. chmod +x ~/bin/repo


This is for obtaining the source
1. Open Terminal
2. cd ~
3. mkdir cm-build
4. repo init -u git://github.com/cyanogen/android.git -b eclair
5. repo sync
Wait for the repo to sync as it is really huge around 2.5 gb

After the sync has completed u have to create the environment
1. cd cm-build
2. . build/envsetup.sh

Builiding ADB - Do it only if u havent already built it. Most probably u havent

make -j3 adb

now add the path of adb directory of adb like u did for bin. adb will be in the out folder in folder cm-build

Now configure your build
select the build u want to make, list using this command
1. sed -n -e "s/^add_lunch_combo//gp" vendor/*/vendorsetup.sh
2. lunch cyanogen_passion-eng

Get properitery files from ur devices- dont skip this step. U need to have adb setup. And if u are unable to get the files ur build will not complete. i will upload a folder with properitery files today with instructions how to place them so if u r unable to get them u can use those files

1. cd ~/cm-build/vendor/google/passion
2. ./extract-files.sh

Now the final step building

make -j3

The -j flag specifies how many threads the compiler should use. Rule is # of processors+1

its gonna take time for the first time u build so just relax somewhere, go eating, watch Movies, use google video

all the files will be in

~/android-cm/out/target/product/passion

u can use fastboot to flash those files and test the build



If u have any problems while building just let me know with the error where it as stopped. using the command make-clean solves most issues but it will make u build from scratch again thus building will take the same time as it took while building the first time as it clears all the prebuilt files


If u find anything to correct in this wiki let me know i will do it

More to come
1. Kernel compiling
2. making update.zip
