I successfully compiled the Android source on a Ubuntu & Kubuntu AMD64 platform with Intel EM64T architecture. The only thing is that the lib32z1 and lib32z1-dev Debian packages both need to be installed to make the build complete successfully with all the other build dependencies listed on [HTML] http://source.android.com/download[/HTML]
When first compiling with only the zlib1g and zlib1g-dev packages, it was ending in an Error 2: not being able to find a valid libz.so after a -lz search giving hits in a few different directories, but not finding a valid lib. So I searched the repositories and installed the lib32z1 deb package, and it still ended in the same error. Then I installed the lib32z1-dev package and it compiled like a charm. I believe the zlib1g* libs are 64-bit compiled, and since it is compiling for a 32-bit target, it needs the 32-bit compression Z-library. There were no major compilation errors that stopped the build after the lib32z1 packages were installed, and the make completed successfully. Hopefully this will help others! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
