To get started with the Team-OctOS sources, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
Check to see if you already have existing SSH Keys.
ls ~/.ssh
By default, SSH Keys are saved as: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub
If you do NOT have these files, continue. If you DO have these, skip the next step!
Note: If you already have existing SSH Keys, doing this will overwrite them!
cd ~
ssh-keygen -t rsa
It will ask you where to store the key (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa) and will ask if you wish to enter a password. If you enter a password, you will need to enter this EVERY TIME.
We recommend (and will assume) that you are using your SSH Keys for GitHub and Gerrit review.
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
This will display your PUBLIC SSH Key. This is what you will put on GitHub and Gerrit, and will be used to identify you to those services.
Please see GitHub's Step 3: Add your SSH key to GitHub to add your key to your account.
After creating your SSH Key, you will need to create a configuration file so the system will know to use these keys automatically.
Open your ~/.ssh/config file in your favorite editor (nano, gedit, vim, etc).
nano ~/.ssh/config
and add the following code blocks.
Host review.teamoctos.com
User <Gerrit_UserName>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
Host github.com
User <GitHub_Registered_Email>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
and then save. This will allow your system to automatically supply your SSH key when connecting to these hosts.
You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.
To create them run:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/octos
Enter the following to download the "repo" binary and make it executable:
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect. Now enter the following to initialize the repository:
These libraries are needed for building, but not installed by default or carried by the ROM.
Ensure System is up-to-date and add libraries needed that are not included in stock Linux
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libcap-dev texinfo automake autoconf libgmp-dev libexpat-dev python-dev liblz4-tool
Required when using SaberMOD's toolchain
wget https://github.com/SaberMod/prebuilts_cloog_isl/archive/master.zip -O prebuilts_cloog_isl-master.zip && unzip prebuilts_cloog_isl-master.zip && sudo cp -R prebuilts_cloog_isl-master/lib/* -f /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu && sudo ln -s /usr/include/asm-generic /usr/include/asm
Set the Team OctOs environmental flags - Add these to the bottom of ~/.bashrc
# OctOs Build Flags
export CCACHE_DIR=$HOME/.ccache
export USE_CCACHE=1
export USE_PREBUILT_CHROMIUM=1
alias git-pl="git log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit"
#set up ccache if not present
if [ ! -d "$CCACHE_DIR" ]; then
$HOME/octos/prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
fi
The below flag(s) are OPTIONAL
export TO_OR=xx
The TO_OR variable allows the user to set the concurrent threads when builds (-j#). If it is not set, it will be automatically set to the number of CPU cores available to the system.
cd ~/octos
repo init -u https://github.com/Team-OctOS/platform_manifest.git -b oct-14.1 && repo sync
This will initialize the new repository and begin the initial sync. This will take a while!
Initialize the environment with the envsetup.sh script. Note: Replacing "source" with a single dot saves a few characters, and the short form is more commonly used in documentation.
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch
Enter the number of the build you want to start and press enter
The first time you build a device, the system will identify and fetch the required device repos.
Patches are always welcome! Please submit your patches via Team-OctOS Gerrit!
