Error building `aidl`

[petefoth]

I’m trying to build a ROM using @harvey186’s builde.sh script from [HOWTO] Build /e/ without docker for non LineageOS supported devices

The build is consistently failing while creating the build tools. It fails with the following error message

[  1% 675/34789] Lex: aidl <= system/tools/aidl/aidl_language_l.ll
FAILED: /bin/bash -c "prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/flex/flex-2.5.39 -o/srv/src/NOUGAT/out/host/linux-x86/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libaidl-common_intermediates/aidl_language_l.cpp system/tools/aidl/aidl_language_l.ll"

Can anyone give me a clue where to start trying to solve the problem?

Thanks.

The builde.sh isn’t working anymore. I thought I have added a commend in that post.
Better using this way

[HOWTO] build eOS in old fashioned way with breakfast -- now with interactive script

I prefer to build in the good old fashioned way, because I‘m more flexible and I can stop when ever I want with CTRL+C. Since all eOS sources are available in e.foundation git we can build complete without any docker or docker command. It’s tested on Linux Mint19. Don’t know if the script will work on Windows. I have created 2 scripts. the first is for only one time run to check your environment/dependencies – download here https://ecloud.global/s/kLttdHMsTAyC99H – run sudo chmod a+x run_on…

And which locale is active on your build environment?

[petefoth]

I’ve now read that post again and looked at the scripts. I have more idea of what the scripts are doing, and why. I’ll move on to those next time I try to build.

Before I do, I have a couple of questions.

1. If I’m buiding a ‘normal’ ROM, with all the standard system apps, then I should use 161.sh, and use 1312.sh for a minimal customised ROM?
2. Using 1312.sh, what is the format of entries in the personal apps section? Do you have an example?

Thanks

PS My locale is UK English

[harvey186]

I know, I have seen this error before and it has something to do with the locale of your system. But I can’t find the post with the solution / which locale is needed. Could you try with us_utf8 ?I will search and I hope I will finde the related post

[andrelam]

try this: export LC_ALL=C you can put it in script, or cmd line.

[harvey186]

Ah, yes, that’s what I was looking for. Thx @andrelam

[petefoth]

Thanks. That seemed to do the trick. The build has got past building aidl, so I’ll go out for the rest of the day, and look forward to finding a ROM waiting for me when I get home

[harvey186]

Try this command before building

export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="- Dfile.encoding =UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4G"

[petefoth]

That line is already in the script. But I’ll give it a try

[harvey186]

Ah ok, than it’s a different error

You can try updating jack on your build system.

@harvey186

export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS=“- Dfile.encoding =UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4G”

That was this line I talked about in my post on your topic when I asked about the “JAVA line”.
Is it necessary ? What is the goal of this line please ?

[harvey186]

AH OK, you was meaning that one.
I’m not really sure, but as far as I know, it gives the jack server some needed information and space for compilation. I have found it in several build instructions or people which are running into build errors regarding Jack.

In my personal build steps I never use it. By the way @petefoth could you try building without that line ?
