Hi,

I own a Galaxy S international (gt-i9000) and we managed to create the
proper makefiles for it, it's actually in the replicant repository,
branch replicant-2.3.

I started by building the code the usual way (lunch + make [...]
bacon) and installing it via recovery mode, maybe you can try to do
the same. I should push an extra commit with some small corrections,
but it is otherwise usable with free video driver (no 3D) and non-free
RIL. Also, there are no free drivers for camera and wi-fi.

I don't know if there are significant differences between the Galaxy S
versions, maybe you can try that first and report what works?
We can discuss further in the irc channel if time coincides. Best of luck!
