This is simple note to compile Android 2.3.5 on Ubuntu 12.04 beta1
(64bit) successfully.
First of all, refer to http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
official website.
And, http://www.kandroid.org/board/board.php?board=androidsource&command=body&no=81

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
\
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 \
g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386

I summarized troubleshooting to run "#>repo sync" command successfully
as following contents.
Refer to the below my experience if you have some issues on Ubuntu
12.04 64bit.
