RUN B2GOS on FAIRPHONE
Hi Fairphoner!
This site will let you build and install
all neccassary stuf to run B2GOS on a Fairphone!
It contains:
Build instructions for OSX
Build instructions for Ubuntu 14.4
Build instructions for Ubuntu 16.4
How to flash a device without having to fetch the code!
Build on OSX
Due to a wrong or different md5 checksum calculation you won't be able to build on OSX. But you can go for a Virtual Linux!
Build on Ubuntu 14.4.
I made a speedup of the process by chaining commands.
-> open terminal (ctrl, alt & T)
Type these commands separately:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64 sudo apt-get install git git config --global user.email " *youremail@url.tld* " git config --global user.name " *yourusername* " git config --global color.ui False

check or make .userconfig in the B2G folder and do not forget to update the BOLD text with your system username:
echo "*** entering .userconfig ***"
export B2G_ANDROID_NDK_PATH=/home/WRITE YOUR SYSTEM-USERNAME HERE/android-ndk-r11b
echo "B2G_ANDROID_NDK_PATH=$B2G_ANDROID_NDK_PATH"
export B2G_DIR=${B2G_DIR:-$(cd $(dirname $0); pwd)}
echo "B2G_DIR=${B2G_DIR}"
echo "GECKO_OBJDIR = ${GECKO_OBJDIR}"
echo "*** exit .userconfig ***"
If you whant to make a Version to flash your phone:
./build.sh
If you whant to make a Version to flash your phone and update the community build:
./build.sh blobfree
If you run in to errors and need a log of your build:
./build.sh showcommands 2>&1 | tee build.log
everytime you run a new build clean your directories with this commands:
sudo rm -rf out && rm -rf objdir-gecko && rm -rf gaia/profile* && ccache -C
