Install the Build Packages

Install using the package manager of your choice:

For 32-bit & 64-bit systems:

git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool

For 64-bit only systems:

g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib

NOTE: gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib is no longer available for Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, but should still build without issue.

NOTE: On Ubuntu 10.10, and variants, you need to enable the parter repository to install sun-java6-jdk:

add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"

Create the Directories

You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.

To create them:

mkdir -p ~/bin

mkdir -p ~/CM9

Install the Repository

Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:

curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo

chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

NOTE: You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect.

Now enter the following to initialize the repository:

cd ~/CM9/

repo init -u git://github.com/Swift-Team/android.git -b ics 

repo sync

Download RomManager which is needed by the build:

~/CM9/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager

Check for updates

First, check for updates in the source:

cd ~/CM9/

repo sync

Configure Build & Compile

Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM compiled, from code, for the swift.

. build/envsetup.sh && brunch swift

CyanogenMod

Submitting Patches

Patches are always welcome! Please submit your patches via CyanogenMod Gerrit! You can do this by using these commands:

(From root android directory)
. build/envsetup.sh
(Go to repo you are patching, make your changes and commit)
cmgerrit <for(new)/changes(patch set)> <branch/change-id> 

repo start ics .
(Make your changes and commit)
repo upload .

Note: "." meaning current directory For more help on using this tool, use this command: repo help upload

Make your changes and commit with a detailed message, starting with what you are working with (i.e. vision: Update Kernel) Commit your patches in a single commit. Squash multiple commit using this command: git rebase -i HEAD~<# of commits>

To view the status of your and others' patches, visit CyanogenMod Code Review

Getting Started

To get started with Android/CyanogenMod, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.

To initialize your local repository using the CyanogenMod trees, use a command like this:

repo init -u git://github.com/Swift-Team/android.git -b ics

Then to sync up:

repo sync

Please see the CyanogenMod Wiki for building instructions.

For more information on this Github Organization and how it is structured, please read the wiki article

Buildbot

All supported devices are built nightly and periodically as changes are committed to ensure the source trees remain buildable.
