最近以CM7为基础移植android到某个机型,简单的说编译步骤如下:
1,在device/zte/blade/目录下运行unzip-files.sh,这步的主要目的是将某些硬件相关的库直接复制到vendor目录(因为拿不到厂家的源码只能这样做了);
2,在source目录运行. build/envsetup.sh;
3,lunch,选取适当的编译目标;
4,make -jx,开跑。
一切从envsetup.sh开始,在运行了build/envsetup.sh之后,将会多出一堆有用的函数来帮助我们更好的编译或者分析android,在输入help之后会显示:
Invoke ". build/envsetup.sh" from your shell to add the following functions to your environment:
- croot: Changes directory to the top of the tree.
- m: Makes from the top of the tree.
- mm: Builds all of the modules in the current directory.
- mmm: Builds all of the modules in the supplied directories.
- cgrep: Greps on all local C/C++ files.
- jgrep: Greps on all local Java files.
- resgrep: Greps on all local res/*.xml files.
- godir: Go to the directory containing a file.
Look at the source to view more functions. The complete list is:
add_lunch_combo cgrep check_product check_variant choosecombo chooseproduct choosetype choosevariant cproj croot findmakefile gdbclient get_abs_build_var getbugreports get_build_var getprebuilt gettop godir help isviewserverstarted jgrep lunch m mm mmm pid printconfig print_lunch_menu resgrep runhat runtest set_java_home setpaths set_sequence_number set_stuff_for_environment settitle smoketest startviewserver stopviewserver systemstack tapas tracedmdump
其中的各项功能可以参照英文解说,croot可以从各种目录下随时回到source目录,mm根据当前路径的Makefile编译出模块,mmm根据后面跟着的path来寻找makefile,然后把makefile里面定义了的LOCAL_MODULE编译出来。
build/envsetup.sh的工作大部分就是定义上述的一些helper函数,最后运行的就是这一段:
# add the default one here
add_lunch_combo generic-eng
# if we're on linux, add the simulator. There is a special case
# in lunch to deal with the simulator
if [ "$(uname)" = "Linux" ] ; then
add_lunch_combo simulator
fi
...
# Execute the contents of any vendorsetup.sh files we can find.
for f in `/bin/ls vendor/*/vendorsetup.sh vendor/*/build/vendorsetup.sh device/*/*/vendorsetup.sh 2> /dev/null`
do
echo "including $f"
. $f
done
unset f
因此,在默认情况下会有generic-eng这个选项,在linux下编译的话会再有simulator选项,然后就会到vendor和device目录中寻找vendorsetup.sh然后执行,以ZTE blade的CM7为例,在device/zte/blade中有vendorsetup.sh文件,内容如下:
add_lunch_combo zte_blade-eng
add_lunch_combo zte_blade-userdebug
它会再增加zte_blade-eng和zte_blade-userdebug两个目标。
随后的lunch根据上述的目标生成菜单供选择,lunch与choosecombo达到的效果一样,只不过choosecombo是把选择细化成几个步骤。
通过lunch完成选择后输出如下信息:
