[android-developers] Re: Cannot build Android source in Ubuntu
Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a shot and get back to you. On Dec 13, 1:40 am, Jack Palevich jack.palev...@gmail.com wrote: I don't recognize the ARGH!!! error messages. I wonder if you're using an incompatible version of Java. Android needs version java-1.5.0-sun. You don't mention which version of Ubuntu you're using. If it's the latest version, then that may be the source of your problems. Android won't build on Ubuntu 9.10 out-of-the-box because Ubuntu 9.10 does not support java-1.5.0-sun. (You'll also run into problems caused by a too- new version of GCC.) If this is your problem, one thing you could do is install Virtual Box, install a supported version of Ubuntu, such as 8.10 inside Virtual Box, and then build Android inside that version. This would allow you to follow the instructions athttp://source.android.com/ exactly, without running into problems caused by trying to build Android on a newer and unsupported version of Ubuntu.
