How to build Android 5.1 for x86_64

Dear Visitor,

This post is intended to sum up basic steps to produce own bootable image for Android 5.1 on x86_64 system.

$ mkdir android-x86
$ cd android-x86
$ repo init -u git://gitscm.sf.net/gitroot/android-x86/manifest -b lollipop-x86
$ repo sync -c

In the end of synchronization you would have Android tree with all necessary packages needed to build Android 5.1.

To prepare build environment you would need to do:

. build/envsetup.sh

Now if you want to construct bootable iso image you would need to run:

make -j4 iso_img TARGET_PRODUCT=android_x86_64

-j4 could be replaced with relevant number of CPUs on your system.

Best regards,

Alex
