[DEV] Building CM from scratch (the easy way)! - *nix Shell Script

---

This script is only needed the first time you want to install all the stuff on your computer. If you have already done that please use the build.sh script from your desktop

This is just a compilation of the wiki/guide given from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com

Thank @Cyanogen and #teamdouche for the ROMs and CM7

This is gonna take some time and HDD space to complete. If you don't have the time to let the computer running or you dont have 7GB on your HDD please quit and try again when requirements (time/space) meet

A few words from Cyanogen (copied from his posts of nightlies/RCs and stable cm releases)

CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

This is an AOSP-based build with extra contributions from many people which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Visit the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes and features!

All source code is available at the CyanogenMod Github!

##HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?

• Was it a hard reboot? Get me the file "/proc/last_kmsg".

Please visit the CyanogenMod Wiki for step-by-step installation walkthroughs and tons of other useful information.

The preferred method of installation is via ROM Manager, or you can head over to the CM Forums for manual downloads.
