KK4.4.3 build failed at gcc check

[torus1000]

Hi,

I tried to build Android KK4.4.3 image on my 32bit ubuntu14.04 host but error occured at lunch command.

It seemed x86_64 gcc(64b) used instead of i686 gcc(32b).

Can anybody help me to fix gcc selection as i686?

Thanks.

Hello,

In order to build android you need your host to be a 64 bit OS, that is why it's forcing you to use x86_64 gcc.

Also, I have never tried to build android with Ubuntu 14.04, it is recommended to use 12.04 as the latest.

Have a great day,
Sergio

Dear Sergio,

Thank you for your answer.

Finally I successfuly built KK4.4.3 images with 64bit ubuntu14.04.

P.S.
In my case, I added following package...

     # http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
     $ sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils
     # misc
     $ sudo apt-get install gksu lib32z1 flex

and modified BoardConfig.mk to re-build boot.img for sdcard.

     # $ make bootimage BUILD_TARGET_DEVICE=sd    <== nothing changed!
     $ vi device/fsl/sabresd_6dq/BoardConfig.mk
     # <<del 13,18-23 lines>>

Have a nice day.

Thank you for giving us those details to set Android from Ubuntu 14.04!
