[HOWTO] Build /e/ without docker for non LineageOS supported devices

eOSWiki HOWTOs

I think you can just go to your /srv/e//src/PIE folder open termanal and run commads in this format:

sudo git clone https://github.com/MyCats/android_device_xiaomi_whyred device/xiaomi/whyred -b lineage-16.0

sudo git clone https://github.com/MyCats/android_kernel_xiaomi_whyred kernel/xiaomi/whyred -b lineage-16.0

sudo git clone https://github.com/MyCats/android_vendor_xiaomi_whyred vendor/xiaomi/whyred -b lineage-16.0

sudo git clone https://github.com/LineageOS/android_packages_resources_devicesettings packages/resources/devicesettings -b lineage-16.0

@andrelam could you add this unzip package to the prerequsites at beginning of your script ?

62

Nice one thank you. /srv/src/PIE is the source directory

63

I know))))))))))))))

64

Now I’m chipping away at the build errors :slight_smile:

I will crack this build!

65

Can anyone help with this error regarding a live display library error?

I’ve search and found this article about commenting out the library in teh device.mk file but it had no effect. I have no further directories or files in /srv/src/PIE/out/target/product/clover/

thanks

66

Sorry, can’t help, but could you please do a favor and open a new post for build help. This post here is a howto. Thx

67

maybe you should add this repository https://github.com/vanhoopstallion/android_device_xiaomi_clover-oss

68

That is his repository :wink:

69

its not included in his manifest, so i think he also not copied it with git clone

70

I will update the script when i have time, it’s out of sync with the latest /e/ docker file.

Unless specific execution parameters need to changed I think this way is not needed any longer. I was able to build an unsupported device by simply placing the local manifest for it in a folder that is passed to docker as path like so

-v "/opt/e-build/local_manifests:/srv/local_manifests:delegated"

This is picked up as with a local (non-docker) run, and as all device customization goes into this file nothing else is needed.

Things are probably different if you are a developer and need to do changes in the main sources, but for simply building an unsupported device where device-tree repositories are available this does the trick for me.

72

possibly a silly question:
Your HowTo is about building /e/. It is my understanding that /e/ is with no google code, but MicroG instead. In Github I found vendor, device and kernel files for ‘my’ device (Samsung A3 a3ultexx). How can I verify that these files are usable for building /e/, means with no google code?

Thank you

73

You can’t. The proprietary files are always critical, but you can’t build without them.

@harvey186: thank you
