Over this weekend I decided to download the Android source tree on my computer (Backtrack 4 R2). The BT4R2 is no longer supported by the Offsec\/Backtrack guys (mutt, purehate, etc.).
\nTo start off with I tried to follow the instructions listed here<\/a>.
\nThe first error I got was with Git, I was using a version earlier than 1.5.4. So I downloaded git version 1.7.4, compiled it and installed it. Then I got the error:
\nfatal: unable to find remote handler for 'https'<\/code>
\nToo bad, I tried recompiling and what not, and I did have openssl…so what was the problem?
\nThe problem was not having libcurl-devel library. So I downloaded the library and launched configure, make clean, make and make install to reinstall git. Now the error was gone.<\/p>\n

On the step where I am supposed to execute the following:
\n$ repo init -u https:\/\/android.googlesource.com\/platform\/manifest<\/code>
\nI got the following error:

\nerror: Exited sync due to fetch errors
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Seems like this error is caused because the content-length http header is not sent by the repository. If you upgrade to Python 2.7.x you can resolve this error.
\nNow if you are compiling Python from source, it doesn’t come by default with SSL support. So to add SSL support you should edit the Python-2.7\/Modules\/Setup file and uncomment four lines:
\n_socket socketmodule.c
\n# Socket module helper for SSL support; you must comment out the other
\n# socket line above, and possibly edit the SSL variable:
\nSSL=\/usr
\n_ssl _ssl.c \\
\n -DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)\/include -I$(SSL)\/include\/openssl \\
\n -L$(SSL)\/lib -lssl -lcrypto<\/code>
\nOf course, then you can do the standard steps to compile and install python:
\n$ .\/configure
\n$ make
\n$ sudo make install<\/code><\/p>\n

repo sync would work very well thereafter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
