I want to build CyanogenMod for my old Kindle Fire HD 8.9. The Amazon OS and software environment are ridiculously out of date. So I’m following instructions from here:
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_jem
Android SDK Installation
First step is installing the Android SDK
Downloading android-studio-ide-145.3537793-linux.zip (22 minutes)
Unzipped that into ~/opt/android-studio
Installation instructions: https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html
IDE Setup says… Search for install instructions for your particular Linux configuration (Android KVM Linux Installation) that KVM is enabled for faster Android emulator performance.
Installed that and created launcher icon.
Installing required libraries as suggested.
Updated .bashrc to include ~/opt/android-studio/bin
Problem: adb and fastboot executables not in path? I expected they would at this point.
Additionally downloading tools_r25.2.3-linux.zip to get command line tools. Nope, adb not there, either.
Do I need to run sdkmanager to get it? And/or other tools, too? Need to install Platform Tools package via IDE?
Already in ~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/ Added that to my path in .bashrc
Pick up tomorrow with installing build packages: bison, build-essential, etc.
