Here is another Gift from the DARKSIDE Dev Team:

Compiling CM from Source
Thank you to Sparksco for building a great base tutorial that I used help build this.
Original Thread Found Here

Updated info for non-debian based systems thanks to Vicodan:
If you want to use this on fedora or non-debian based systems you will need to replace every command that says apt-get to yum. Thanks to Vicodan for pointing this out.

*Note: Not currently working on Tmobile Hercules, for learning purposes only until source is out for our device

If you can add anything let me know and I will add to this or edit the tutorial, 2nd post will be for building from Google Source AOSP.

Hardware Requirements:

- A minimum dual core pc, the more ram the better
- A working wifi connection or network connection
- Linux Operating System. Either 32-bit or 64-bit will work
NOTE: 64-bit will run faster and you need 64bit to build Android 2.3 +
You also need full access to CM source but CM is hording those

Red Bold Print = Terminal Code

Italic Font = Misc. Details

Optional Recommended Software:

Many of these can be found in the software center using the search box
If you find multiple versions it's ok to install them all, unless it says
otherwise

Python
Open the terminal application and type

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install python

awk and gawk
7zip
RAR

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install rar

Step 1 java:

Setting up java is one of the most important step to getting your pc prepared for a build environment. Truly this step is whatever is going to work best on your system, I do it this way and you can try it whichever way you want. Take my advise or not.

NOTE: On Ubuntu 11.10, and variants, you need to enable the
parter repository to install sun-java6-jdk:

Code:

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

then do

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install -y git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev pngcrush schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib

$ java -version

The correct version is:

java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)
You must have a 1.6.x to compile on the gingerbread branch of cyanogenmod. If you have the correct

Step 2 - Install git

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install git

Step 3 - Prepare the Build Environment

NOTE: You only need to do these steps the first time you build.
If you previously prepared your build environment, skip to Copy
proprietary files.

3a - Install the ADB

To let Samsung Galaxy S2 be recognised by the debugger add these lines to 92-samsung.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

Code:

$ sudo gedit 92-samsung.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

paste

Code:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="6640", MODE="0660", OWNER="root",
GROUP="androiddev", SYMLINK+="android%n"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

save and exit

$ sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

paste

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0489", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”18d1″, SYMLINK+=”android_adb”, MODE=”0666″
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

save and exit

Code:

$ sudo gedit .bashrc

paste at the top

Code:

#AndroidDev PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:~/androidsdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/androidsdk/platform-tools

save and exit

Now to Install the SDK, be prepared this takes some time:

Go to Android Developers SDK Download Found Here - Link
or
Download directly from This Link - Download Link

Once done extract the contents to your home folder, then rename it to androidsdk.

Once extracted and renamed go to /androidsdk/tools and double click the file android and click run in terminal.

Android SDK updater will pop up, select the option New and start the upgrade. Now wait. When finished do new one more time to make sure you got everything, once done close SDK window and terminal window.

3b - Install the Build Packages
Install using the package manager of your choice:

For 32-bit & 64-bit systems:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool

For 64-bit only systems:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib

4a - Create the Directories

You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.
To create them:

Code:

$ mkdir -p ~/bin

$ mkdir -p ~/android/system

4b - Install the Repository

Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:

Code:

$ curl https://raw.github.com/android/tools_repo/master/repo > ~/bin/repo

$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

NOTE: You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect.
Now enter the following to initialize the repository, repo sync will take a long time so sit back and watch the code on terminal scroll, dont touch it, toss in Star Wars Saga or Lord of the Rings Trilogy and watch from start to finish and it might be done:

Code:

$ cd ~/android/system/

$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread --repo-url=git://github.com/android/tools_repo.git

$ repo sync

4c - Copy proprietary files

NOTE: This only needs done the first time you build. If you have
already done these steps, you may skip to Download RomManager.
You will need to have a speedy with a working copy of CyanogenMod
install and ADB working on the computer. This script will copy the
proprietary files from the device.
Connect the device to the computer and ensure that ADB is working
properly.[/B]

Code:

$ cd ~/android/system/device/samsung/(DEVICE NAME)

./extract-files.sh

4d - Download RomManager

NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to
RomManager is released. If you are-up-to date, you may skip to Building
CyanogenMod. Download RomManager which is needed by the build:

Code:

$ ~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager

5a - Building CyanogenMod

Check for updates
First, check for updates in the source:

Code:

$ cd ~/android/system/

$ repo sync

$ cp build/core/root.mk -f Makefile

5b - Set up your Compiler
This is optional but helpful for kernel compiling

There are a lot of things that need to be added to the .bashrc to let your
pc know about which type of compiler you want to use. The best way is
to use the one provided in the CM7 work tree.

Code:

#Android

export ARCH=arm

export CCOMPILE=$CROSS_COMPILE

export PATH=$PATH:~/android/system/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin

[B]6 - Configure Build & Compile
Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM
compiled, from code, for the GalaxyS2.

Code:

$ . build/envsetup.sh && brunch (DEVICE NAME)

7 - Install

Copy your .zip file from

~/android/system/out/target/product/galaxys2att/update.cm-XXXXX-
signed.zip to the root of the SD card.
Optional: Download Google Apps for CyanogenMod 7 and place it on the
root of the SD card.
Flash both of these .zip files from recovery.

2nd post for Building from GOOGLE Source AOSP

3rd Post for anything else I add

**interdpth** · 01-20-2012

Don't forget to add how to make extract-files.sh
How to put your own device into the device tree
and all that good stuff

**FirehaK** · 03-09-2012

+1 for adding how to make an extract-files.sh file. I'd love to build at least aosp from source and the Replenish isn't exactly widely hacked. I have no idea where to start or what proprietary files are needed.
