Yeah that documentation is out of date. You can build using 64-bit, but you may need some 32-bit libraries. Getlibs (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790) is very helpful for that task.
As for java 1.5/1.6, I just change the makefile script that checks for the version to look for 1.6 instead. There are two places you need to change a 5 to a 6. Let me know if you can't find that file. Btw, welcome to building AOSP, it is a treacherous sea but, if you navigate it well there be rainbows ahead. Also, I recommend all noobs try posting questions on Stackoverflow because they tend to be more likely to be answered in my experience. -Frank Maker On Sep 7, 6:32 am, slthomason <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Just starting out on porting Android.
