How to compile the Android runtime (ART) from source

I am trying to compile the Android runtime using the Android NDK. First I cloned the repository and switched to the marshmallow-cts-release branch. Then when running ndk-build I get

suici@HP-Pavilion-g7:~/art$ ndk-build
Android NDK: Could not find application project directory !    
Android NDK: Please define the NDK_PROJECT_PATH variable to point to it.    
/usr/local/src/android-sdk-linux_x86/ndk-bundle/build/core/build-local.mk:151: *** Android NDK: Aborting    .  Stop.
suici@HP-Pavilion-g7:~/art$

How do I compile this ? Do I need the entire Android source tree ? Or am I doing something wrong ?

The repository contains the Android.mk file. I am using elementary OS freya 64-bit (based on Ubuntu) on a HP Pavilion g7-2269wm. Latest SDK and NDK are installed.

After freshly cloning the source for ART and compiling it by running the following.

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/art
cd art
git checkout marshmallow-cts-release
export NDK_PROJECT_PATH=$PWD
ndk-build APP_BUILD_SCRIPT=Android.mk

I get

I downloaded the ASOP source and built it for x86_64. In a folder I could find the dalvikvm binary which is what I wanted. But I have a problem with it.

First to install all the Android libraries I copied everything in out/host/linux-x86/lib/ to /usr/bin and everthing in out/host/linux-x86/lib64/ to /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/ and ran ldconfig -v -n /usr/lib and ldconfig -v -n /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to get all the Android libs (64 and x86)

When executing ./dalvikvm I get

art F  6066  6066 art/runtime/utils.cc:1218] ANDROID_ROOT not set and /system does not exist

Aborted (core dumped)

When running dalvikvm --32 everything seems to work correctly after modifying my ~/.bashrc by adding the following lines to it.

export ANDROID_ROOT=!!!PATH-TO-AOSP!!!/out/debug/host/linux-x86/product/generic_x86_64/system

# configure bootclasspath
export BOOTCLASSPATH=$ANDROID_ROOT/framework/core.jar:$ANDROID_ROOT/framework/ext.jar:$ANDROID_ROOT/framework/framework.jar:$ANDROID_ROOT/framework/android.policy.jar:$ANDROID_ROOT/framework/services.jar

# this is where we create the dalvik-cache directory; make sure it exists
export ANDROID_DATA=/tmp/dalvik_$USER

Replace !!!PATH-TO-AOSP!!! with the path to your AOSP folder.Then running mkdir -p $ANDROID_DATA/dalvik-cache to create the folders.

Dalvik is working in 32-bit but not in 64-bit.This is a 64-bit computer running elementary OS freya
