Since Toybox made it into Android, I just reinstalled my big machine with Ubuntu 14.04 so I could actually add packages to it (such as the java version the Android Open Source Project wants), and I have downloaded AOSP (overnight, and I had to restart it in the morning), and it is now compiling. (Wow, that's a lot of warnings...)
Does anybody know if there's an actual android operating system channel on IRC? The main #android one is mostly about application development in java, and people reimaging their phones. Anyway, my short term goal is still to get Aboriginal Linux weaned off of busybox, and then get Linux From Scratch built under the result. And then _after_ that I need to take apart the AOSP build and figure out what the minimal package set to get text mode running under the emulator, and then try to get that rebuilding under itself. This will almost certainly involve separating the build into layers the way I described way back at: https://speakerdeck.com/landley/developing-for-non-x86-targets-using-qemu?slide=91 Because the current giant hairball? It's... I'm aware Google has the funding to make the Mongolian Hordes technique work, but it doesn't seem quite optimal from a project scalability perspectve. I haven't got nearly the familiarity necessary to criticize yet, but _achieving_ the necessary familiarity is... daunting. Working on it...
