I am - thank you very much! Downloading GNU tar at the moment I did think it would be something wrong with my setup as I had never encountered that issue with Ubuntu 11.10.jeffers wrote:I assume you're referring to the tar error:
tar: Option --overwrite is not supported
What version of tar are you using? GNU tar has this option. I dont think BSD tar does (mac os) but I would have thought you could download a version of GNU tar.
HTH
Which version of Ubuntu are you using now? As I did read on the Android site that JB would only build on the lastest version of Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit...even if you were building for x86.jazzmista wrote:I am - thank you very much!

Yup, you've got the right links - follow those guides I currently build on 4GB of RAM (more on that in a couple of posts )Juggler wrote:I'd really like to have a go at doing a build of Android for X86 and for the Joggler.
If anyone could post some links on how to make a build environment and how to use the resources mijuu (mporting) has provided, that would be fantastic !
I've downloaded the files mijuu has made available ( http://www.mporting.com/download/ ) and had a look through them. I am presuming that the source overlay is something you would put over the top of the source gained from the repository. Is it possible to download the source without having a github account ? What tools are necessary to compile and make ?
I have found some details at :
http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
Is this all I need ?
What sort of hardware do I need ? I don't have anything particularly fancy. Got a bit of a shock when I saw the requirements for a virtual machine, when it was stated to create an environment with 16GB of RAM - that's a lot of memory !
Thanks in advance for your help.

One quick request for later versions - could you use .zip or .gz format to compress the images? The 7zip program can't be used to just extract the file to the standard output, so you have to extract the thing rather than just send it to the flash drive directly.
11.10 is the only thing I've managed to get JazzMod compiled on!acesabe wrote:Looking forward to it! Any reason for Ubuntu *11*.10? Thos Ebuyer budget PC's sure look tempting, if that's what you are going for
Meanwhile...What's the state of play r.e. Android 4.1.1 Jelly bean and Joggler. It runs great on my 'old' phone, well if 1 year can really be considered old!!!
That's good to hear that you've done a build with 4GB of RAM ! I've managed to find two 2GB sticks and have put that into my single core 64bit (old) AMD, which I hope to do a build on. Thing is, I have Ubuntu 12.04 on there. Do you think that is going to cause a lot of problems ? I think I will have a go and see what happens. Never compiled an OS before and 8GB of code is just colossal ! Still I hope it is a good way to start learning all sorts of stuff about Android.jazzmista wrote:Yup, you've got the right links - follow those guides I currently build on 4GB of RAM (more on that in a couple of posts )Juggler wrote:I'd really like to have a go at doing a build of Android for X86 and for the Joggler.

Ubuntu 12.04 shouldn't cause any problems, it is supported by AOSP. It's the best way to learn about Android IMHO, I've learnt loads working on JazzMod. Just follow the links you posted earlier and you should be OK - the best way to test the build environment is to try it!Juggler wrote:That's good to hear that you've done a build with 4GB of RAM !

Are there are any tips you have to making a build environment and testing it ?
Also, when you get compile/make errors/issues, do you have any tips on finding solutions/workarounds to them ?
Look forward to hearing from you...
Not yet, sorry! I'm new to this and I keep getting distracted by other things... going to spend this morning trying to fix issues. Here goes...QuackingPlums wrote:My ICS image died again today. Any sign of a solution to the shutdown issue?
