Build android kitkat from source imx6q

[alexandredel]

Hello

I am working on a Sabrelite and i'm trying to put android kit kat 4.4.2 on it, so i build it from sources. I have Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on my computer.

Everything is fine until page 7 of the documentation named "Android_User's_Guide.pdf", when i launch "make 2>&1 | tee build_sabresd_6dq_android.log" something strange happen, the first part look like that:

============================================
PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL
PLATFORM_VERSION=4.4.2
TARGET_PRODUCT=sabresd_6dq
TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=user
TARGET_BUILD_TYPE=release
TARGET_BUILD_APPS=
TARGET_ARCH=arm
TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT=armv7-a-neon
TARGET_CPU_VARIANT=cortex-a9
HOST_ARCH=x86
HOST_OS=linux
HOST_OS_EXTRA=Linux-3.13.0-32-generic-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-14.04-trusty
HOST_BUILD_TYPE=release
BUILD_ID=1.0.0-rc3
OUT_DIR=out
============================================

then everything is OK until this part:

including ./frameworks/base/Android.mk ...
find: "src": Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type     (It's french for "no such file or directory")

and at the end, it shows that:

including ./tools/external/fat32lib/Android.mk ... build/core/Makefile:32: attention : écrasement des commandes pour la cible « out/target/product/sabresd_6dq/system/etc/permissions/android.software.live_wallpaper.xml (Traduction: Warning : deleting command for)
build/core/base_rules.mk:529: attention : anciennes commandes ignorées pour la cible « out/target/product/sabresd_6dq/system/etc/permissions/android.software.live_wallpaper.xml (Traduction: Warning: Former command ignored for)

make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/validatekeymaps_intermediates/Main.o] Erreur 127

Something is very strange, this prompt said that the file "prebuilts/tools/gcc-sdk/../../gcc/linux-x86/host/i686-linux-glibc2.7-4.6/bin/i686-linux-g++" doesn't exist, but i went to this file and i found it.

Everything was fine before, i don't know what to do

Thanks

Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

You could try checking your admin permissions of the Host machine. Also, you should verify the installed Java version.
Hope this will be useful for you.

Best regards!

Hi, Carlos,

I met the same issue.  I use chown to own everything in android directory, still got the error.

What is the exact way to solve this issue?  Thanks

Hello!!

Using an ubuntu 14.04 machine, you have to make sure that you have the following packages installed:

sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make python-networkx zlib1g-dev:i386 zip

Perhaps the g++ multilib will complain, if it does please install the buld essentials stuff:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

You will also need to be on the sudoers list.

type

sudo visudo

and make sure your user name has the following privileges.

# User privilege specification

root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

hugo    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Now, depending on which android version you are compiling, you may need different Java versions. I am compiling Kitkat and I needed to install the Java 6 bins.

I hope this helps,

Hugo

And there are a lot of warning like that => "warning: "ARCH_ARM" redefined [enabled by default]"

Is there any solution for that problem?

Thanks

Thank you

Alexandre

Hi, Alex,

Can you be more detail now you solve this permission issue.  I use chown to own everything,  but still got the same error.

Thanks
