Welcome to TipsyOs

This is a testing grounds, proceed with caution

Getting Started

To get started with Tipsy, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.

To initialize your local repository using the TipsyOs trees, use this command:

repo init -u git://github.com/TipsyOs/platform_manifest.git -b 6.0

Then sync up with this command:

repo sync

Setting up your build environment for Ubuntu/Mint

Prepare your Java environment

In terminal:

sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Check your version:

java -version

Should see something similar too:

java version "1.7.0_65"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.3)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

Install some required tools:

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg ccache lzop flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python

If you come into any errors:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Then try again

Download repo tool and set your path

mkdir ~/bin
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Include bashrc in repo tool

sudo nano ~/.bashrc

Once open: To set the right path for your local bin folder, paste the following code to a new line at the very bottom of the bashrc file, and then save the file using Ctrl+X

Add:

export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
export USE_CCACHE=1

After saving and closing:

source ~/.bashrc (Reload bash variables to include the new path)

Install lz4 compression tool:

sudo apt-get install liblz4-tool

Initialize TipsyOs build environment:

Open Terminal

mkdir tipsy && cd tipsy
repo init the branch you want
repo sync -j4 

"-j is the number of jobs you want give to the download/sync, depending on your system, 4 should be fine on slower systems(i use -j16 on i7, 12Gb)"

Setting up global:

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

(Just replace the credentials with your own)

When that is done & repo is synced, type:

set ccache : prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
Choose your device
make tipsy -j#

Have Fun!!
