building gingerbread source code

[Faraz Yazdani]

Hi!

I am trying to build a sub project from android 2.3.7. I am using Ubuntu 12.04, GNU Make 3.81, Oracle Java 1.6.0_45, and generic-eng target.

When I go to my desired sub-directory, namely development/cmds/monkey, and issue mm this is what I get:

make: *** No rule to make target `out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/core_intermediates/javalib.jar', needed by `out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/monkey_intermediates/classes-full-debug.jar'.  Stop.

When I use make monkey from the root directory, I get this error:

frameworks/base/libs/utils/RefBase.cpp:507:67: error: passing ‘const android::RefBase::weakref_impl’ as ‘this’ argument of ‘void android::RefBase::weakref_impl::trackMe(bool, bool)’ discards qualifiers [-fpermissive]
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libutils_intermediates/RefBase.o] Error 1

Event when I try to build the whole thing using command m, this is what I get:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any idea?

Thank you  :)
