[edit] Prepare the Build Environment

    NOTE: You only need to do these steps the first time you build. If you previously prepared your build environment, skip to Copy proprietary files. 

[edit] Install the ADB

    Install the Android SDK. 

[edit] Install the Build Packages

Install using the package manager of your choice:

For 32-bit & 64-bit systems:

    git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool 

For 64-bit only systems:

    g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib

        NOTE: gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib is no longer available for Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, but should still build without issue. 

    NOTE: On Ubuntu 10.10, and variants, you need to enable the parter repository to install sun-java6-jdk:

        add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner" 

[edit] Create the Directories

You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.

To create them:

    mkdir -p ~/bin 
    mkdir -p ~/android/system 

[edit] Install the Repository

Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:

    curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/bin/repo 
    chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

        NOTE: You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect. 

Now enter the following to initialize the repository:

    cd ~/android/system/ 
    repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread 
    repo sync -j16 

[edit] Copy proprietary files

    NOTE: This only needs done the first time you build. If you have already done these steps, you may skip to Download RomManager. 

You will need to have a buzz with a working copy of CyanogenMod install and ADB working on the computer. This script will copy the proprietary files from the device.

Connect the device to the computer and ensure that ADB is working properly.

    cd ~/android/system/device/htc/buzz/ 
    ./extract-files.sh

        NOTE: If some hardware isn't working, like camcorder or FM radio, you will need to find the updated prop blobs. 

[edit] Download RomManager

    NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to RomManager is released. If you are-up-to date, you may skip to Building CyanogenMod. 

Download RomManager which is needed by the build:

    ~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager 

[edit] Building CyanogenMod
[edit] Check for updates

First, check for updates in the source:

    cd ~/android/system/ 
    repo sync 

[edit] Configure Build & Compile

Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM compiled, from code, for the buzz.

    . build/envsetup.sh && brunch buzz 

[edit] Install

    Copy your .zip file from ~/android/system/out/target/product/buzz/update.cm-XXXXX-signed.zip to the root of the SD card.

        Optional: Download Google Apps for CyanogenMod 7 and place it on the root of the SD card. 

    Flash both of these .zip files from recovery.
