Build fails for Android JB422_100

andreygelman — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 14:23:49 GMT

I'm building the recent Android release - JB422_100 - for SabreSD platform on Ubuntu 12.04.

The build fails with:

/obj/EXECUTABLES/wpa_supplicant_intermediates/src/drivers/driver_nl80211.o: in function wpa_driver_nl80211_init:external/wpa_supplicant_6/wpa_supplicant/src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c:1510: error: undefined reference to 'nl_handle_destroy'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [out/target/product/sabresd_6dq/obj/EXECUTABLES/wpa_supplicant_intermediates/LINKED/wpa_supplicant] Error 1

If I totally delete external/wpa_supplicant_6, this error disappears, but this one emerges:

make: *** No rule to make target `out/target/product/sabresd_6dq/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libwpa_client_intermediates/export_includes', needed by `out/target/product/sabresd_6dq/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libandroid_runtime_intermediates/import_includes'. Stop.

There are additional problems that I have, somehow, figured out the solution.

Previously I have successfully built Android 4.0.4 and I did not have half these problems.

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Try to build using an Ubuntu 10.04 box. Newer Ubuntu versions have not been fully tested.

No problem. I have built a 10.04 virtual machine. Now it fails with:

external/mtd-utils/mkfs.ubifs/mkfs.ubifs.c: In function ‘write_super’:

external/mtd-utils/mkfs.ubifs/mkfs.ubifs.c:1902: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘uuid_generate_random’

Hi Andrey,

Did you follow section 2.1 "Set Up Your Computer" in the Android User Guide? Here are two steps you need to do correctly:

10.10 or 11.04 64bit version of Ubuntu
Setting up your machine http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

BR,
Jack

I have eventually figured out how Android JellyBean can be built on Ubuntu 12.04.

It all boils down to 2.5 to 3 issues:

1. To compile correctly external/mtd-utils, I had to copy locally liblzo2, libuuid for i386, and add the path to LOCAL_LDFLAGS in external/mtd-utils/mkfs.ubifs/Android.mk

2. This part is tricky ...

SabreSD board is not equipped with Wi-Fi, however if one merely removes "BOARD_WLAN_VENDOR := ATHEROS" line in device/fsl/sabresd_6dq/BoardConfig.mk, the Android build system will attempt to compile wpa_supplicant_6, which is so outdated, that it simply cannot be compiled these days.

Put

"WPA_SUPPLICANT_VERSION := VER_0_8_X"

"BOARD_WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER := WEXT"

"BOARD_HOSTAPD_DRIVER := WEXT"

to build wpa_supplicant with no specific hardware support.

2.5 When building the whole system use "make" (as opposed to "make -j<num-cpus>"), because there are some unclear dependencies that will be broken by parallel compilation, but this is something I can currently live with.

...

Kinda so ...
