problems with building the android kernel

Question

I started building the android core (for nokia 6). Completed make PLE_defconfig(device code name), passed with one warning(arch/arm64/configs/PLE_defconfig:745:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for WLAN) then made make -j5, and everything came up against errors. What should I do?

Log: logs

dir /usr/

compiler linaro 4.9.4

Thanks! (I'm sorry if I'm asking noob questions, I'm just doing it for the first time in my life, and I don't know English)

Answer 1

AOSP usually ships with python packages installed.

Check if you have it with python2 --version first.

Or check if you have Python 3 installed with python3 --version.

Note: AOSP ships with its own copies of the Python 2 and Python 3 packages, and you can use the version that's included in the source tree. Google is migrating all scripts in the Android source tree to Python 3, and the embedded copy of Python 2 might be deprecated.

You can try to build with Python 3 instead:

sudo apt install python3
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python2

Or you should download new Android source tree which includes Python 3 script.
