Alwin suggested I post these notes here. I have more notes on how to install and test the SDK, let me know if you would like those too.
setup on 64bit: (lucid or maverick) 1. sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev libsdl-dev openjdk-6-jdk curl setup on 32bit: (lucid or maverick) 1. sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev openjdk-6-jdk curl checkout: 1. curl https://android.git.kernel.org/repo >repo && chmod +x repo 2. mkdir android-sdk && cd android-sdk 3. ../repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git asks a few questions 4. ../repo sync takes ~.5 hours 5. sed -i 's/^$(error stop)/#&/' build/core/main.mk java5 does not exist in karmic, lucid, or maverick. this might cause problems. building: 1. make ignore the errors about java (see #5 above) takes ~2 hours outputs to "out/host/linux-x86" directory? 2. cd .. assuming no errors, you're done BULIDING the SDK. (installing, packaging, or testing is more complicated and described later) sources: http://source.android.com/download http://developer.android.com/sdk/ Again, I have more notes on how to install and test the SDK so let me know if you want those notes. adrian -- [needs-packaging] android SDK https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565635 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
