I don't think this has anything to do with Linux or Mac. repo/git are very
new tools for a lot of people :-)

Provided that you configured your build with something like:

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch generic-eng

then a simple "emulator" after a succesful build will automatically launch
the emulator with the just-built system image.

the .repo directory is created by the "repo init" command that you should
have launched to intialize your repository.
I can only conjecture that you didn't get the sources through the
recommended ways. If that is the case, You should
really try to follow the instructions here<http://source.android.com/download>

after that, there will be a .repo/manifest.xml file (which you should not
touch). You should be able to add a new
file named .repo/local_manifest.xml then do a "repo sync" to get some
missing pieces, then rebuild.

Hope this helps
