How to build UT for FP2

Aloys

Hello,

I'd like to get all the sources and build UT for the FP2.
My purpose is just to learn how it works.
But I did not find any documentation for this, may be I did not find it. Especially, is there a repo manifest store somewhere?

@ublublu I don't know about FP2 specific bits but our code is in https://github.com/ubports

Maybe this documentation can help you to start understanding the whole process, at least until someone who really knows how the build process works reply to your question https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/system-software.html

Edit: this is old but has some interesting info too https://github.com/ubports/wiki.ubports.com/blob/master/How-a-UBports-Image-is-Built.md

Thnak you @advocatux, I will look at these info.

Hi,

you will need:

https://github.com/ubports/android (the starting point to build the Android parts)
https://github.com/ubports/android_kernel_fairphone_fp2 (Kernel repo)
https://github.com/ubports/android_device_fairphone_fp2 (Device repo)
https://github.com/ab2ut/proprietary_vendor_fairphone (Vendor blobs)

Now the problem is that while the current FP2 build was still made in the legacy way, our documentation is now based on Halium. See http://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/get-sources.html - Do you want to build a working image, or you just want to learn about the process?

Thank you @flohack,
I'd like mainly to understand the process and why not at the end building a working image.
I initially thought I would be able to reproduce a same build as the ones from UBports, but that's not so easy (for me)!

I think I will follow the porting information with Halium, because it seems well documented, even if I suppose I won't get a working image.

The use of Halium is not so clear for me, is this issue https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/404 is to integrate halium in UT for all supported devices?

@ublublu Ok clear then. Yes this ticket needs to be solved in order for UT to boot with a Halium port. We hope to be able to soon start working on this. It will eventually add immedaite support for more devices
