not sure if this is the right forum for this, but i recently checked out the code base and following the suggestions for 64-bit Ubuntu here:
http://source.android.com/source/download.html did a bit of tweaking and got the entire checkout to build on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04, which i documented here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Android_on_Ubuntu_10.04#Building_Android_in_its_entirety to be frank, i was flying blind and simply ignored the original documentation and stuck with ubuntu's stock java 6 and, with the slight tweaks i documented, the build completed. so does that mean that, at least in this specific case, java 6 is feasible? and for anyone who wants to check my work, did i do anything egregiously wrong? rday p.s. if i wanted to submit patches for the code base, where would i do that? i was thinking that if java 6 actually works in this case, it might be worth adding extra logic in the build makefile (build/core/main.mk) to recognize this special exception. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
