Need help building Ubuntu Touch for Galaxy Tab 2

[tchan]

@yxles
Hi,
I'm not an expert of porting but maybe the device is a bit too low of specs.
I have a Galaxy tab 4 and it's also too low (1Go) of RAM.

Good luck!

Hi, @Yxles

Stupid question, but do you have this file?
And have you searched for it?

external/gpg/Android.mk

[Yxles]

@tchan @tchan I dont think specs is the problem here since Galaxy Tab 2 was supported by Canonical when they're still the one who manage Ubuntu Touch and someone actually already ported UT for this device that boots and works with UI

[Yxles]

@applee I don't have it, I think there are some files missing even though repo sync completely

[AppLee]

@yxles
Alright, so given the error message and the fact you don't have the file I guess you'll have to create it.
Given the .mk extension I bet it is a makefile hopefully an autogenerated one or you'll have to manually create one.

Best of luck.

Looking for mention of gpg on default.xml at https://github.com/Halium/android/blob/halium-7.1/default.xml for Halium 7.1 shows up nothing, is that normal?

That is not an issue, I have had successfully built halium and ubuntu touch for the device, the issue is missing files

@mighty hey its you, thx for helping me with this but there's another problem. So I downloaded the master branch of gpg here https://github.com/ubports/android_external_gpg and paste it on the external folder. Now when I execute mka mkbootimg I got this error

build/core/base_rules.mk:183: *** external/gpg: MODULE.TARGET.STATIC_LIBRARIES.libdl already defined by bionic/libdl.
make: *** [build/core/ninja.mk:167: /home/yxles/halium/out/build-aosp_espresso3g.ninja] Error 1
make: Leaving directory '/home/yxles/halium'

So I thought maybe it conflicted with bionic/libdl so I removed that and execute the command again and now I got this

build/core/binary.mk:1253: external/gpg/g10/Android.mk: static_gpg: Unused source files: filter.h

make: *** [build/core/ninja.mk:167: /home/yxles/halium/out/build-aosp_espresso3g.ninja] Error 1
make: Leaving directory '/home/yxles/halium'

How do I fix this?

@Mighty removing device/sample fix it but I saw on the github that its needed

[Yxles]

ok now mka mkbootimg completed successfully as well as export USE_HOST_LEX=yes mka halium-boot but without the device/sample but now when executing mka systemimage I got this

@Mighty removing device/sample fix it but I saw on the github that its needed

Where does it say that removing device/sample is gonna fix it?

[Yxles]

@mighty the line

device/sample/frameworks/PlatformLibrary/Android.mk:37: build/core/java_library.mk: No such file or directory

I guess when it tries to build the device/sample, it looks for that file but since it doesn't exist for me it just errors out and stop the building so I just deleted it (temporarily) to see if it fix it and it did build without errors

[Yxles]

@mighty sure, I'll just move this discussion at github. [https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues/238]
