Hi For anyone who is using Gentoo and wants to build Android - If you refer to the directions provided at http://source.android.com/download: ---- Linux
To build the Android source under Linux, you will need Ubuntu. The Android build is routinely tested on recent versions of Ubuntu (6.06 and later), but reports of successes or failures on other distributions are welcome. To set up your Linux development environment, make sure you have the following: Git 1.5.4 or newer. Instructions for how to install and configure Git are below. Python 2.4, which you can download from python.org . JDK 5.0, update 12 or higher, which you can download from java.sun.com . The following packages: flex, bison, gperf, libsdl-dev, libesd0-dev, libwxgtk2.6-dev (optional), build-essential. To make sure you have all these packages, run $ sudo apt-get install flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl You might also want Valgrind, a tool that will help you find memory leaks, stack corruption, array bounds overflows, etc. To install it, run $ sudo apt-get install valgrind ---- Obviously we don't have apt-get here. Git, python, java, flex, bison, gperf, zip, curl have packages that can be emerged if you don't have them already. For libsdl-dev, I emerged package libsdl. For libwxgtk2.6-dev, I emerged package wxGTK. And for libesd0-dev, I emerged media-libs/audiofile-0.2.6-r3, media- libs/alsa-lib, and media-sound/esound-0.2.38-r1. The first two packages may be unnecessary but the last one should cover it. I'm not sure what build-essential is - I think it's ubuntu-specific. Valgrind has its own package so I emerged that with no problems. I also had to emerge unzip because the build process complained about unzip missing; I reran the build and didn't get any further complaints. So I was able to complete the build with no errors regarding missing symbols, etc - hopefully nothing comes up in further testing. Just passing this on to people not using Ubuntu... -Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
