[Gumstix-users] New to gumstix - Need some help with Android build

[Robert H. <rha...@id...>]

Hello,

I am new to gumstix.

I have purchased an Overo Fire COM with Chestnut43 and 4.3 inch screen.
I am interested in Android development on this platform.
Developing in Ubuntu 10.10.

I have been working my way through:
http://wiki.gumstix.org/index.php?title=RowboatAndroid

Have been able to:

Checkout Sources
Build a Kernel

When I get to  "Build a Root File System",
$ make TARGET_PRODUCT=overo -j8
Does not work, as it seems that files are missing.

Specifically:

hardware/ti/omap3/liblights/Android.mk:18
hardware/ti/omap3/liblights/overo/Android.mk:
No such file or directory
Make: *** No rule to make target 'hardware/ti/omap3/liblights/overo/Android.mk'
Stop

It appears that there should be an 'overo' directory in liblights.
When I look, it is missing, thus I cannot compile the Root File System.


Lastly, a note about Java.
In a previous attempt I had received an error message stating that Java 1.5 is needed to compile.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10, which does not directly support Java 1.5.
A discussion of how to handle this will save new people time.

Thanks,
Bob Hartmann
