Build Replicant 6.0¶

This page explains how to build Replicant 6.0 for supported devices.

Prerequisites¶

Before building, you must make sure that:

• You have installed the build dependencies: Replicant 6.0 build dependencies installation
• You have downloaded Replicant 6.0 sources: ReplicantSourceCode
• Your sources are up to date: Downloading/Updating the source from the repos
• Your terminal is running in the directory where the sources were downloaded

Warning¶

Do not build as root, always build as user.

See the build tips if you are facing issues.

Before building¶

• On Debian stretch, building the toolchain will fail. See Replicant60BuildTips for how to workaround that and make the build succeed.

Building¶

All of the following build commands need to be run in the source tree root folder.

Building the toolchain¶

First, the toolchain needs to be built for replicant 6. To do that open a new shell and run the following command:

./vendor/replicant/build-toolchain

Building a Replicant image for a device¶

Once the toolchain has been built, you can then start building an image for a specific device.

Use the command corresponding to your device in this table to do that:

Device(s)	Command
Galaxy S 2 (I9100)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh i9100
Galaxy S 3 (I9300)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh i9300
Galaxy S 3 4G (I9305)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh i9305
Galaxy Note (N7000)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh n7000
Galaxy Note 2 (N7100)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh n7100
Galaxy Nexus (I9250)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh maguro
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3100)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh espresso3g
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5100)
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Wi-Fi (P3110)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh espressowifi
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wi-Fi (P5110)
Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5100)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh n5100
Galaxy Note 8.0 Wi-Fi (N5110)	./vendor/replicant/build.sh n5110

For instance to build for the Galaxy S3 (I9300) you need to type the following command:

./vendor/replicant/build.sh i9300

The first time you build an image it might ask you a few questions at various points during the build process as it needs then to build the images and generate the necessary signing keys near the end of the building process.

Output files¶

For the built host tools, the produced files are at: out/host/linux-x86/bin/

For the built target images, you can use the following table to find the directory that has the produced files:

Output directory	Device(s)
out/dist/i9100/	Galaxy S 2 (I9100)
out/dist/i9300/	Galaxy S 3 (I9300)
out/dist/i9305/	Galaxy S 3 4G (I9305)
out/dist/n7000/	Galaxy Note (N7000)
out/dist/n7100/	Galaxy Note 2 (N7100)
out/dist/maguro/	Galaxy Nexus (I9250)
out/dist/espresso3g/	Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3100)
	Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5100)
out/dist/espressowifi/	Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Wi-Fi (P3110)
	Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wi-Fi (P5110)
out/dist/n5100/	Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5100)
out/dist/n5110/	Galaxy Note 8.0 Wi-Fi (N5110)

For instance, for the Galaxy S 3 (I9300), the built target images are in out/dist/i9300/
