Andriod ics comilation issue

Which ubuntu version are you using?

The ICS sources are targeted to be compiled on Ubuntu 10.04. Later versions may cause issues with host GCC. You can refer to 'android-building' forum in google groups for more details:

e.g: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-building/2EwtWQTqjdI/discussion

Ubuntu 10.04 is the recommended version for compiling ICS sources.

You may also try changing the default GCC to 4.4 from 4.7 in case you wish to continue using ubuntu 12.04. I have not personally verified this.

I found some webpages documenting this. e.g. http://xlcwu.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/ubuntu-12-04-gcc-4-4/

Dear Vishveshwar,

As per your suggestion i was sucessfully changed gcc version to 4.4 but i got some more compilation issues. please see below issues and suggest me how to fix.

Please ensure that you have installed all host dependencies.

Refer to the AOSP documentation: http://s.android.com/source/initializing.html

I feel that your host setup is still incomplete. Did you install all the recommended packages I pointed out in the link above?
