Greetings everybody!

    When you are trying to follow the step-by-step instructions on 
wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Emulator to build and install the Touch-emulator 
from scratch on an AMD64-system (Trusty), you might run into issues. In 
order to successfully complete the install I had to manually apt-get 
these additional packages:

 * schedtool
 * default-jdk
 * gcc-4.8-multilib
 * g++-4.8-multilib

    The best time to get those is before you trigger 
"phablet-dev-bootstrap emulator". For some reason "sudo apt-get 
build-dep android" did not automatically resolve this. I'm not even sure 
if that's meant to happen. If others also run into this too, it is 
probably not just an odd quirk on my system and I gladly add this to the 
wiki. But unless nobody else comes across these problems, I don't want 
to "pollute" the wiki-instructions with unnecessary steps.

When I got to the step "./build/tools/build-emulator-sdcard.sh" the 
script exists with an error reading...

 * "cp: cannot stat 'out/target/product/generic//system.img': No such
   file or directory"

... but I've a file called "ubuntu-system.img" in 
out/target/product/generic. It it just missing a symlink to it or is 
this a simple typo in the script?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards...

Mirco
