Building

treble build options explained:

  Usage: $ bash build-treble.sh options buildVariants blissBranch
  options: -c | --clean : Does make clean && make clobber and resets the treble device tree
           -r | --release : Builds a twrp zip of the rom (only for A partition) default creates system.img
           -p | --patch: Just applies patches to needed repos
           -s | --sync: Repo syncs the rom (clears out patches), then reapplies patches to needed repos
  
  buildVariants: arm64_a_stock | arm64_ab_stock : Vanilla Rom
                  arm64_a_gapps | arm64_ab_gapps : Stock Rom with Gapps Built-in
                  arm64_a_foss | arm64_ab_foss : Stock Rom with Foss
                  arm64_a_go | arm64_ab_go : Stock Rom with Go-Gapps
  
  blissBranch: select which bliss branch to sync, default is p9.0
  
  First you must sync with the new manifest changes:
  
	$ bash build-treble.sh -s
  
  After the sync is finished, you can build your release:
  
    $ bash build-treble.sh -r arm64_a_gapps (to build armA 64bit with gapps built in)

Celadon EFI (Android-IA) build options explained:

  Usage: $ bash build-efi.sh options buildVariants blissBranch
  options: -c | --clean : Does make clean && make clobber and resets the efi device tree
           -s | --sync: Repo syncs the rom (clears out patches), then reapplies patches to needed repos
  
  buildVariants: user : Make user build
                  userdebug |: Make userdebug build
                  eng : Make eng build
  
  blissBranch: select which bliss branch to sync, default is p9.0

  After the sync is finished

    $ bash build-efi.sh -s userdebug (to build the userdebug version)

emulator builds explained:

  Precondition: android SDK must be installed in ~/Android/SDK

    $ lunch bliss_emulator-userdebug
    $ make

  if you want to run on the same host:

    $ bash vendor/bliss/utils/emulator/start_emulator_local.sh

  if you need to copy on a different host:

    $ vendor/bliss/utils/emulator/create_emulator_image.sh
    $ cp /tmp/bliss_emulator.zip to the device where you have installed android SDK

  (unzip into /tmp)

    $ bash /tmp/generic_x86/start_emulator_image.sh

PC builds (x86) explained:

  (WIP) Add x86 PC builds

  This will build an x86 based .ISO for PCs

  Usage: $ bash build-x86.sh options buildVariants blissBranch
  Options: -c | --clean : Does make clean && make clobber and resets the efi device tree
    	   -s | --sync: Repo syncs the rom (clears out patches), then reapplies patches to needed repos
		   -p | --patch: Just applies patches to needed repos
		   -r | --proprietary: build needed items from proprietary vendor (non-public)

  BuildVariants: android_x86-user : Make user build
			     android_x86-userdebug |: Make userdebug build
			     android_x86-eng : Make eng build
			     android_x86_64-user : Make user build
			     android_x86_64-userdebug |: Make userdebug build
			     android_x86_64-eng : Make eng build

  BlissBranch: select which bliss branch to sync, default is p9.0

  To start, you must first use the -s (--sync) flag, then on following builds, it is not needed. 
  Initial generation of the proprietary files from ChromeOS are also needed on the first build. 
  We are able to use the -r (--proprietary) flag for that. This step needs to be on its own because
  the mounting process requires root permissions, so keep a look out for it asking for your root password. 
  
  First you must sync with the new manifest changes:

    $ bash build-x86.sh -s (will also do initial patching)
  
  Next step is to download the proprietary files from ChromeOS:
  
    $ bash build-x86.sh -r android_x86_64-userdebug 
    
  After that, you can build your release file:
  
    $ bash build-x86.sh android_x86_64-userdebug (to build the userdebug version for x86_64 CPUs)
