Guest nio25 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Hi, I tried to compile my ICS, and I followed the first post's instructions. Everything went fine, but in the 5.point, when I paste make bacon -j8 I get an error: https://www.dropbox....7b9l1/error.png What did I wrong? Possibly low memory...use (more) swap and/or less threads (-j4 for example) Edited June 14, 2012 by nio25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nio25 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Hmm im not sure...can you give us the sepcs of your vm? (cpu/cores-ram-swap) I was building in a vm with 4 cores and 2gb ram (and no swap) and i was getting the same error.

Guest t181 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Hmm im not sur...can you give us the sepcs of your vm? (cpu/cores-ram-swap) I am using VMware Player, installed ubuntu 12.04 I have got a A6-3400m CPU, I gave 3cores for the virtual machine. I have 4GB DDR3 RAM, and I gave 1GB.(usage is about 4-50%) I do not have swap, because when I expanded the ext4 partition, my swap dissapeared. Edit: And how did you solve it?

Guest targetbsp Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 The VM needs more ram than 1gb to compile ICS. Even GB needs about 1.7 with a single thread or it aborts. I'm not actually sure how much ICS needs. It seems to need about 4 with the -j8 switch in post 1 which i have given it (2gb ram and 2gb of swap) but it needs less without the switch.

I followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu....mmunity/SwapFaq Look at "Four-step Process to Add Swap File" (It takes ~2hours to build in my vm!)

Guest targetbsp Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 But...I tried to give for Ubuntu swap, after i installed it, but the system couldn't see it. During Ubuntus install, it appears to give it the same amount of swap as you gave the VM ram during the install. Bit late now but that's the easiest way to handle it if you ever have to set it up again the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit late now but that's the easiest way to handle it if you ever have to set it up again the future. Yes, I know, but I thought I wont need it... I gave 2.3GB RAM, and I think it works. There are lot of lines which starts with: target thumb c++, target thumb c, host c++, etc... ohhh, my cpu... :D But, Thanks guys for help! ;) EDIT: ohhh, no...I think my RAM will give out... Windows says, I have 53MB left... If compiling stops, what should I delete, to restart compiling? Edited June 14, 2012 by t181 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sej7278 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 If compiling stops, what should I delete, to restart compiling? windows :) seriously a vm sucks for this kind of thing, i tried compiling xbmc in a vm on a 3ghz quad core (4gb/2 cores allocated) and it was actually slower than doing it on a 1.6ghz 2gb atom! laptops suck too, slow drives and slow ram i guess.

You can just give it more memory and just start compiling again and it will be fine. :) I ended up increasing my ram to 6gb for compiling roms. Mostly cause I have DDR2 and ram is really expensive. DDR3 is dirt cheap so you probably may as well go to 8 if you get into doing this regularly. :) Edited June 14, 2012 by targetbsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jventura Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 By the way, for those using VM's to compile ICS, I recommend Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu, mainly because the memory footprint is lower (at least it was in previous versions of Ubuntu, now with Unity desktop I think they've lowered it). I've got Xubuntu as my OS and it is the same as Ubuntu with a saner graphical layout, for those who were used to "old" gnome 2.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Penmax Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Guys, I don't know if it is a recurrent bug, or if it has appeared lately, but I think there is something with the Mms.apk app which prevent the phone from deep sleeping. I'll explain.. Here in Portugal, there is this mobile operator called Optimus (Orange brand) which sends everyday a message, which I think is an mms, publicizing some Apps from its website (93AppsClix). I use to receive that mms everyday without problems (sometimes I still use Android 2.3), but lately, with CM9 (build 09/Jun), I don't receive that mms instantly. What happens is that in the middle of the afternoon, if I press a key from the keypad, my phone wakes, so it is not sleeping. Then, I do a restart, and immediately after the reboot, even before I enter my PIN, I receive the "93AppsClix" mms, usually 1,5h/2h later than the original sent date/time. So, to me, there is something happening with the Mms app which, instead of presenting the mms to the user instantly, kinda of blocks the phone, thus preventing it from deep sleeping.. Has anyone noticed something like this? I can't test sending mms to myself because the Mms app isn't sending mms, and I rarely (never) send mms to anyone, so don't know the default behavior.. I would like to track this bug down, since it causes massive battery drain, and I have my girlfriend and my sister already using CM9. They don't understand nothing of this "technicities", lol.. Thanks Edit: Oh, I use "Use Only 2G", but don't know if it has something to do with it.. If i remember correctly on early ICS builds there were som errors with internet connection if you switched to 2g from 3g you had to restart the phone. Had some calls break also when it sitched from 3g to 2g with earlier versions. Edited June 15, 2012 by Penmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I type "repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics" it says "repo: command not found". I read it is because I have to install jdk-6. I tried it, but always give this...

Guest targetbsp Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) That's nothing to do with jdk. :) It'll be because repo isn't in your path.
