Building Android on CentOS

[Phil HUXLEY]

Has anyone been through the process of building the platform under CentOS
as opposed to Ubuntu?

Thanks,
Phil.

This should be similar to Fedora.

In Fedora 9, with all development libraries installed Android has no issues with building from source.

take care,

FYI, I've compiled it successfully on Fedora Core 8 as well.

I tried it earlier today, on CentOS 5 but gave up. There was an
incompatibility between readline and ncurses5.
It was easier to put ubuntu in a chroot and compile it there.

I had it running on CentOS.

Had to 'export HOST_GLOBAL_LDFLAGS=-lncurses' to resolve the

incompatibility between readline and ncurses5.

Kannan,

Follow the instructions at "http://source.android.com/download". I'm
assuming you would start from 'Installing Repo'.

Before you start your 'build', do the following.

1. Make sure your 'java' and 'javac' are the right version.

2. export HOST_GLOBAL_LDFLAGS='-lncurses'

3. Download and install 'gperf'.

Then just follow the instruction on 'build'.

Regards,

It solved it with this patch.

It adjusts to the latest source.

Hi Everyone.

I'm trying to build the Android on Redhat Linux enterprise 4.6 AS. I'm
getting this error :
frameworks/base/libs/utils/Threads.cpp:104:error: 'PR_SET_NAME'
undeclared...

This happens when i try to build the file system.

does anyone have an idea ?

Thanks.

Hi, Chen Ganir

./bionic/libc/include/sys/prctl.h includes ./bionic/libc/kernel/
common/linux/prctl.h.
In the previous file, the function 'prctl' was called in frameworks/
base/libs/utils/Threads.cpp:104 taking the macro 'PR_SET_NAME', whose
value is 15 and actually defined in the latter file, as the first
argument.

It seems a problem of the path included.

For more information about function 'prctl', please read

http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/prctl.2.html
