Build Android for shamu(Nexus 6)

Question

I followed Aosp guide and XDA guide and try to build my first ROM for Nexus 6. I checked out android-7.0.0_r27 branch, Then I downloaded all driver binaries and extract them in vendor/ directory of the root of the project. Then I ran this

make clobber && source build/envsetup.sh && lunch aosp_shamu-userdebug && make -j8 otapackage

And this is the error I get

Starting build with ninja
ninja: Entering directory `.'
[ 99% 455/456] glob vendor/*/*/Android.bp
ninja: error: 'out/target/product/shamu/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/copybit.msm8084_intermediates/export_includes', needed by 'out/target/product/shamu/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libOmxVenc_intermediates/import_includes', missing and no known rule to make it
build/core/ninja.mk:84: recipe for target 'ninja_wrapper' failed
make: *** [ninja_wrapper] Error 1

#### make failed to build some targets (54 seconds) ####

I don't have any idea what is wrong! Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated ...

Answer 1

I'm not sure what was the problem, but after checking out to android-7.0.0_r24 branch and sync that, I installed these packages on Ubuntu 16.10

$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 \
lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev ccache \
libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip

which is the requirements of Ubuntu 14.04, now I can build the source successfully.

Today I had similar problem but with difference pathes. Installing packages as above didn't solved my problem. Problem was that repo sync hadn't properly synchronised all necessary git repositories but no error message was shown during executing repo sync. What I did: from the message I entered the shown directory and typed git status -the directory was empty and full of removed files, so I typed git reset --hard, after that build moved one step further, so I redo this steps. Faster way I've used was to find all empty directories:

find -empty -type d | vgrep '.repo' | xargs -n 1 readlink -f 

and run in all of them git reset --hard. It solved my problem.
