I've been trying to build android based on the instructions on http://source.android.com/download
The tree downloaded by those instructions does not compile on x86 - it bombs out.. starts with a 'line too long' error from bash then complains about missing files half way though. I'd be happy to get anything working right now, even a simulation. That's the first hurdle. I know someone has ported it to the eepc 701, but I tried to exract the binaries from that one & adding my known working kernel and they don't work at all - exception in init whilst booting - so there's some kind of eeepc specific stuff it's expecting. It also uses an initrd, which I'd rather avoid. I have a 2.6.30 kernel that I know works, with the android patches in. The device is EFI based and has no legacy support (so no real mode booting, no vesa, no VGA, etc.). Booting I've sorted out and have managed to patch elilo to run on the platform. Screen is 800x480 touch screen, and there's no keyboard although I can plug a USB one in for testing. What I'm looking for is a way to create a filesystem tree the I can tar up and unpack onto a fresly prepared USB stick. Surely there's a prebuilt one? Once it's booted it is just a standard x86 linux system with a framebuffer. There's no even any sound to worry about (not supported by ALSA), and all it needs to do is display stuff and respond to the touch screen...
