Figure it out is definitely the best knowledge, skills, teaching, you
could have.
Of course, and in fact I found out that the important difference was the
installation of the jdk. The building instructions in the Ubuntu wiki
don't require the installation, so I did not install it. But it seems
that "breakfast" not only bails out when no jdk is found, it also seems
to work insufficiently.
The build afterwards complains that I'm using an "unsupported version"
of java, but I think that doesn't matter as I would be surprised if Java
is needed for the build.
About the binaries blobs I don't know cause I was working on a
hammerhead port and I only built the real CM. I know that I didn't
encounter difficulties with that part. And I also know that I didn't
need to install CM.
It seems that the file extraction does only work from CM, at least for
Nexus 4. If the phone still runs Android, some of the files in the list
definitely are not where the list wants to find them. So instead of
copying the files from the device, I copied them from an unzipped CM
10.1 and then I was able to build.
I really would like to understand the system better, but the situation
around documentation is really frustrating. Most of the time some not so
unimportant details are missing that might be clear for the experts, but
confuse the newbie. As an example, installing the built images as
explained in Touch/Building will not give me a running Ubuntu Touch
installation, the phone just shows a "Google" screen and adb shell opens
a busybox shell on the phone. I'm sure that this is correct, but
shouldn't that be mentioned in the documentation?
Regards,
Mathias
