How to build Android adb for ARM .

Thanks to Google I’ve just found searching in many Forum threads the way to build adb on ARM arch.
Just download sources with git (apt-get install git-core on debian-like system):

$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/system/core.git system/core
$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/build.git build
$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/external/zlib.git external/zlib
$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/bionic.git bionic

or you can go into Android source code and find the directory /system/core/adb/

Now edit build/core/main.mk and comment out the parts labelled

# Check for the correct version of java

and

# Check for the correct version of javac

Since adb doesn’t need Java, these checks are unnecessary.
Also edit build/target/product/sdk.mk and comment out the “include” lines after

# include available languages for TTS in the system image

This avoids having to download language files that aren’t needed for adb. 

Save this Makefile as system/core/adb/Makefile : https://gist.github.com/958335
Then just run:

cd system/core/adb; make

Then you can copy and use your adb binary.
That’s all! If you have any problems search your distro’s packages repository to install needed packages!

 ============================================================================================================================================================

pseudolocalize.cpp is not needed for adb. And NDK toolchain is intended to build with bionic(Android libc). adb requires glibc(GNU libc) to build.

I created a Makefile to compile adb for Linux/ARM. This Makefile makes statically linked adb executable binary for Linux/ARM, thus it works on Android/ARM as well.

• standalone Makefile for adb

How to make.

1. Install Sourcery G++ Lite for ARM and GNU Make.
2. Download "Android source code".
3. Save Makefile as system/core/adb/Makefile.
4. cd system/core/adb; make.
