19<p>This section provides instructions on how to configure your host system to build Android for mobile devices. While Android is designed as host-environment agnostic, it has been tested and is known to work on the following Linux operating system; Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper), 7.10 (Gutsy), and 8.04. Cygwin is not recommended. </p>

27
28<p>Android requires the following system packages:</p>
29<p><ul>
30<li>flex: This lexical analyzer generator is used to read a given input file for a description of a scanner to generate.</li>
31<li>bison: This is a general-purpose parser generator.</li>
32<li>gperf: This is a perfect hash function generator.</li>
33<li>libesd0-dev: This enlightened sound daemon (dev files) is used to mix digitized audio streams for playback by a single device.</li>
34<li>libwxgtk2.6-dev: This package provides GUI components and other facilities for many different platforms.</li>
35<li>build-essential: This package contains a list of packages considered fundamental to building Debian packages.</li>
36</ul></p>

98<a name="androidSourceSetupBuildSystemSetupJavaIntro"></a><h2>Installing Java</h2>
99
100<p>Android source code includes a hard dependency on the Java Developer Kit (JDK) 5.0 Update 12 or greater. The specific file name of the Update 12 package is <code>jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin</code>. To download this version of the Java JDK:</p>
101<p><ol>
102<li>Navigate to: <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/archive/">http://java.sun.com/products/archive/</a>.</li>
103<li>Select '5.0 Update 12' from the 'Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE)' -> 'JDK/JRE - 5.0' field and click 'Go.'</li>
104<li>Click 'Download JDK.'</li>
105<li>In the 'Linux Platform' section, click 'Linux self-extracting file' associated with the jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin package.</li>
106<li>Follow the installation instructions.</li>
107</ol>
108</p>
109
110<p>Once you have cleanly installed the JDK, modify your PATH environment variable to include <code>&lt;jdk-install-dir&gt;/jdk1.5.0_12/bin</code> at its beginning so that Dapper will use the correct installation. </p>
111<p><b>Ubuntu 7.10</b></p>
112<p>An alternative method to quickly install Java is to enable multiverse repo in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and then execute:</p>
113<pre class="prettyprint">
114% sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
115</pre>
