Initializing a Build Environment
This section describes how to set up your local work environment to build the Android source files. You will need to use Linux or Mac OS. Building under Windows is not currently supported.
Note: The source download is approximately 8.5GB in size. You will need over 30GB free to complete a single build, and up to 100GB (or more) for a full set of builds.
For an overview of the entire code-review and code-update process, see Life of a Patch.
Choosing a Branch
Some of the requirements for your build environment are determined by which version of the source code you plan to compile. See Build Numbers for a full listing of branches you may choose from. You may also choose to download and build the latest source code (called "master"), in which case you will simply omit the branch specification when you initialize the repository.
Once you have selected a branch, follow the appropriate instructions below to set up your build environment.
Setting up a Linux build environment
These instructions apply to all branches, including master.
The Android build is routinely tested in house on recent versions of Ubuntu LTS (12.04), but most distributions should have the required build tools available. Reports of successes or failures on other distributions are welcome.
For Gingerbread (2.3.x) and newer versions, including the master branch, a 64-bit environment is required. Older versions can be compiled on 32-bit systems.
Note: It is also possible to build Android in a virtual machine. If you are running Linux in a virtual machine, you will need at least 16GB of RAM/swap and 30GB or more of disk space in order to build the Android tree.
See the Downloading and Building page for the list of hardware and software requirements. Then follow the detailed instructions for Ubuntu and MacOS below.
Installing the JDK
The master branch of Android in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) requires Java 7. On Ubuntu, useOpenJDK.
Java 7: For the latest version of Android
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Optionally, update the default Java version by running:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
If you encounter version errors for Java, set its path as described in the Wrong Java Version section.
To develop older versions of Android, download and install the corresponding version of the Java JDK:
Java 6: for Gingerbread through KitKat
Java 5: for Cupcake through Froyo
Note: The lunch command in the build step will ensure that the Sun JDK is used instead of any previously installed JDK.
Installing required packages (Ubuntu 12.04)
You will need a 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 12.04 is recommended. Building using an older version of Ubuntu is not supported on master or recent releases.
$ sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Installing required packages (Ubuntu 14.04)
Building on Ubuntu 14.04 is experimental at the moment but will eventually become the recommended environment.
$ sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utilsInstalling required packages (Ubuntu 10.04 -- 11.10)
Building on Ubuntu 10.04-11.10 is no longer supported, but may be useful for building older releases of AOSP.
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc
On Ubuntu 10.10:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so
On Ubuntu 11.10:
$ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386
Configuring USB Access
Under GNU/linux systems (and specifically under Ubuntu systems), regular users can't directly access USB devices by default. The system needs to be configured to allow such access.
The recommended approach is to create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (as the root user) and to copy the following lines in it. <username> must be replaced by the actual username of the user who is authorized to access the phones over USB.
# adb protocol on passion (Nexus One)

Those new rules take effect the next time a device is plugged in. It might therefore be necessary to unplug the device and plug it back into the computer.
This is known to work on both Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04.x LTS) and Lucid Lynx (10.04.x LTS). Other versions of Ubuntu or other variants of GNU/linux might require different configurations.
Setting up ccache
You can optionally tell the build to use the ccache compilation tool. Ccache acts as a compiler cache that can be used to speed-up rebuilds. This works very well if you do "make clean" often, or if you frequently switch between different build products.
Put the following in your .bashrc or equivalent.
export USE_CCACHE=1
By default the cache will be stored in ~/.ccache. If your home directory is on NFS or some other non-local filesystem, you will want to specify the directory in your .bashrc as well.
export CCACHE_DIR=<path-to-your-cache-directory>
The suggested cache size is 50-100GB. You will need to run the following command once you have downloaded the source code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
When building Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.x) or older, ccache is in a different location:
prebuilt/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
This setting is stored in the CCACHE_DIR and is persistent.
Using a separate output directory
By default, the output of each build is stored in the out/ subdirectory of the matching source tree.
On some machines with multiple storage devices, builds are faster when storing the source files and the output on separate volumes. For additional performance, the output can be stored on a filesystem optimized for speed instead of crash robustness, since all files can be re-generated in case of filesystem corruption.
To set this up, export the OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE variable to point to the location where your output directories will be stored.
export OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE=<path-to-your-out-directory>
The output directory for each separate source tree will be named after the directory holding the source tree.
For instance, if you have source trees as /source/master1 and /source/master2 and OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE is set to /output, the output directories will be /output/master1 and /output/master2.
It's important in that case to not have multiple source trees stored in directories that have the same name, as those would end up sharing an output directory, with unpredictable results.
This is only supported on Jelly Bean (4.1) and newer, including the master branch.
Setting up a Mac OS X build environment
In a default installation, OS X runs on a case-preserving but case-insensitive filesystem. This type of filesystem is not supported by git and will cause some git commands (such as "git status") to behave abnormally. Because of this, we recommend that you always work with the AOSP source files on a case-sensitive filesystem. This can be done fairly easily using a disk image, discussed below.
Once the proper filesystem is available, building the master branch in a modern OS X environment is very straightforward. Earlier branches, including ICS, require some additional tools and SDKs.
Creating a case-sensitive disk image
You can create a case-sensitive filesystem within your existing OS X environment using a disk image. To create the image, launch Disk Utility and select "New Image". A size of 25GB is the minimum to complete the build, larger numbers are more future-proof. Using sparse images saves space while allowing to grow later as the need arises. Be sure to select "case sensitive, journaled" as the volume format.
You can also create it from a shell with the following command:
# hdiutil create -type SPARSE -fs 'Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+' -size 40g ~/android.dmg
This will create a .dmg (or possibly a .dmg.sparsefile) file which, once mounted, acts as a drive with the required formatting for Android development. For a disk image named "android.dmg" stored in your home directory, you can add the following to your ~/.bash_profile to mount the image when you execute "mountAndroid":
# mount the android file image
function mountAndroid { hdiutil attach ~/android.dmg -mountpoint /Volumes/android; }
Once mounted, you'll do all your work in the "android" volume. You can eject it (unmount it) just like you would with an external drive.
Master branch
To build the latest source in a Mac OS environment, you will need an Intel/x86 machine running MacOS 10.8 (Mountain Lion), along with Xcode 4.5.2 and Command Line Tools.
You will also need the Java 7 JDK. Select the file: jdk-7u51-macosx-x64.dmg
To develop for versions of Android Gingerbread through KitKat, download and install the Java 6 version of theJava JDK.
Branch 4.2.x and earlier branches
To build 4.2.x and earlier source in a Mac OS environment, you will need an Intel/x86 machine running MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or MacOS 10.7 (Lion), along with Xcode 4.2 (Apple's Developer Tools). Although Lion does not come with a JDK, it should install automatically when you attempt to build the source.
The remaining sections for Mac OS X only apply to those who wish to build earlier branches.
Branch 4.0.x and all earlier branches
To build android-4.0.x and earlier branches in a Mac OS environment, you need an Intel/x86 machine running MacOS 10.5 (Leopard) or MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You will need the MacOS 10.5 SDK.
Installing required packages
-
Install Xcode from the Apple developer site. We recommend version 3.1.4 or newer, i.e. gcc 4.2. Version 4.x could cause difficulties. If you are not already registered as an Apple developer, you will have to create an Apple ID in order to download.
-
Install MacPorts from macports.org.
Note: Make sure that
/opt/local/binappears in your path BEFORE/usr/bin. If not, addexport PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATHto your
~/.bash_profile. -
Get make, git, and GPG packages from MacPorts:
$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 sudo port install gmake libsdl git-core gnupgIf using Mac OS 10.4, also install bison:
$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 sudo port install bison
Reverting from make 3.82
For versions of Android before ICS, there is a bug in gmake 3.82 that prevents android from building. You can install version 3.81 using MacPorts by taking the following steps:
-
Edit
/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.confand add a line that saysfile:///Users/Shared/dportsabove the rsync line. Then create this directory:
$ mkdir /Users/Shared/dports -
In the new
dportsdirectory, run$ svn co --revision 50980 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/gmake/ devel/gmake/ -
Create a port index for your new local repository:
$ portindex /Users/Shared/dports -
Finally, install the old version of gmake with
$ sudo port install gmake @3.81
Setting a file descriptor limit
On MacOS the default limit on the number of simultaneous file descriptors open is too low and a highly parallel build process may exceed this limit.
To increase the cap, add the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile:
# set the number of open files to be 1024
ulimit -S -n 1024
Next: Download the source
Your build environment is good to go! Proceed to downloading the source.
