64-bit Ubuntu supported for build environment?

[Tom Morris]

It doesn't appear that building from source works out of the box on 64-
bit Ubuntu (8.04 Hardy Heron).

Before I dig into debugging it, I was wondering if a) it's a supported
platform and b) anyone has already done the work?

The initial errors are listed below, but, like I said, I haven't
looked at it yet, so I don't know if this is an isolated problem or
the tip of the iceberg.

Tom,

I have built Android on Ubuntu 8.04.1 desktop x86_64.
I did not enconter your problem.

[koba]

Tom,

I am using ubuntu 8.04.1 desktop on x86_64 to build android.

You need 32bit version library, such as /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so
How about try

$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev

to get 32bit libraries.

Needs g++-multilib and gcc-multilib.

Should be on the install page but I've given up convincing the google
guys to make the change..

No, building on 64-bit does not appear to work... you can get past
your error by installing g++-multilib. Then you'll also need a 32-bit
libz, but the build will still fail at some point unable to find
libX11, even though it's installed.

Android C runtime is 32bit only, and the X86 stuff isn't released yet.

Additionally the compiler for ubuntu 8.04 is the newer gcc and it will complain when compiling some of the C++ code.

Koba & Disconnect - Thanks for the tips. Apologies to everyone for
the duplicate post, but there was a significant moderation delay
yesterday and the other query hadn't been posted when I wrote mine.

I got everything to build and run on 64-bit Linux once all the
necessary dependencies were installed.

The libX11 problem mentioned by Jonas Bonn is due to this Ubuntu bug

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/117131

If you've got ia32-libs installed, you can work around the problem by
creating the softlink by hand.

$ cd /usr/lib32
$ sudo ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so

I had most of what I need installed, so I'm not sure this list of
dependencies is complete, but you definitely need a bunch of the
32-bit dev packages. Combining the lists from Koba and Disconnect,
I'd suggest starting with

$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs g++-multilib gcc-multilib
lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev

and then creating the softlink as described above. Of course, this is
in addition to the dependencies already listed on Google's build page
http://source.android.com/download#TOC-Linux

It took over an hour on my laptop, but when it was done I had a
complete build with working emulator, SDK, and bundled apps that ran
just fine.

BTW, if anyone needs to debug the makefiles, there's a target
'showcommands' that is useful to see what's going on.

I have gone through the same problems and I can confirm that the steps
Tom Moris shared here will allow you to build the source successfully
on an 64AMD platform.

What to do next is a big question mark for me! But one step at a time.

Cheers,

Could you post here the result of this ls command?

$ ls -l /usr/lib32/libX11*

May be you have different version of libX11 installed.

hier is the result:

Hi, Yalcin

You need /usr/lib32/libX11.so
So what you should do is

$ cd /usr/lib32
$ sudo ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so

[Yalcin]

Yes you are right. I had link in /usr/lib64.
After

$ sudo ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so

build is succesfull.
Thank you very much.
