1- To build the Eclipse plugin:
Under Linux:
$ cd your-device-directory
$ tools/eclipse/scripts/build_server.sh destination-directory

This will create an "android-eclipse.zip" in the selected destination directory.
Then in Eclipse, you can use Help > Software Updates > Find and Install > Search for new Features > Next > New Archived Site > select the new android-eclipse.zip. Then with the new archive checked, click Finish/Next.


2- To build a Windows SDK, you need two steps:
a- First you need to create a Linux SDK:

Under Linux:
$ cd your-device-directory
$ make sdk
Note: if you get an error when building the javadoc, make sure you use a Java SDK 1.5
Note: if you get an error when building layoutlib, make sure you use a Java SDK 1.5.0-b13.

b- Once you have a Linux SDK, you can create a Windows SDK:

You need a Windows machine with XP or Vista and Cygwin.
- Installer at 
- Set Default Text File Type to DOS/text, not Unix/binary.
- Select packages autoconf, gcc, g++, bison, python, zip, unzip, mingw-zlib
- Suggested extra packages: emacs, wget, openssh, rsync

Then under Cygwin:
$ cd your-device-directory
$ tools/buildbot/_make_windows_sdk.sh path-to-the-linux-sdk.zip destination-directory

To build the SDK for Windows, look at this: 
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/development.git;a=blob_plai... 

It's a bit old but step #2 is still "mostly" valid except you MUST 
make sure cygwin is in binary/unix mode and not text/dos mode. Also 
the main script moved: 
make_windows_sdk.sh moved to [platform/development.git] / build / 
tools / make_windows_sdk.sh 
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/development.git;a=blob;f=bu... 
Unless you are actually changing the tools, quite frankly just get the 
prebuilt ones, it's much easier.
