I Have a question to build taintdroid

[kyh1026]

Hi, I tried to build TaintDroid environment for AVD but I could not
build TaintDroid.

I follow your website(http://appanalysis.org/download.html) and use
the kernel/common git repository and the "goldfish" branch (instead of
kernel/msm) in step3b.

Now I trying to step 4 and step 5.

I have a question. Do I download nexusone_vendor_setup.zip In step 4
though I wil build for AVD??

If answer is yes, when I execute shell script "extract-files.sh" can
not pull any file.

In my opinion nexusone_vendor_setup.zip is pulling file in nexusone,
not for AVD.

How can I build TaintDroid for AVD?

Thank you for reading. :)

The nexusone_vendor_setup.zip is only used for building TaintDroid for the Nexus One. You don't need these files to build TaintDroid for the AVD.

If you use the "lunch 1" configuration, and build, the emulator will be built as well. The ". ./build/envsetup.sh" step that precedes "lunch 1" should also set up your environment so that the "emulator" binary is in your path and the Android-specific environment paths point to the built system images. However, you will still need to specify the kernel image on the command line.

Note that this process does not include the "Google Apps" in the emulator (one of the things the extract-files.sh script pulls from the the NexusOne). It's technically possible to extract them from an Android emulator include them, but I haven't done it personally. I imagine there is a HOWTO out there somewhere.

Thanks,
-Will
