How to skip docs

[Ray Kelly]

I am build Android 9 from source and taking a very long time. I am wanting to skip the long docs building process when using make.  Is there a way to accomplish this easily?  Thanks!

Hi, technically speaking you are not really supposed to just do that as there aren't much docs at all, and it can break CTS.

However, for a debug quickie - you can put "PRODUCT_LOCALES:=en_US" into your device's board configuration, also check PRODUCT_ART_TARGET_INCLUDE_DEBUG_BUILD, PRODUCT_AAPT_PREF_CONFIG,  PRODUCT_AAPT_PREBUILT_DPI,  PRODUCT_AAPT_CONFIG aswell. Or check how build tags (inside package's Android.mk) are supposed to work Won't recommend DONT_DEXPREOPT_PREBUILTS though because it'd cause lot problems to QA because of phones acting slow.

Also, the speedy inhouse builds to test a feature or two should be either done with `make snod` or rely on unit tests to break first, compilation time if possible .

Also what's your work got to do with real document-heavy parts of ? If you're rebuilding framework/SDK that often, even a $2 per day of cloud 32gb/8 core instance would be a lesser expense than repeated standby costs over a developer's time, while such asset may be shared between a group of developers. Even more important if you're going to ship production/nightly builds from some date later. Might also look into structuring your changes  - commits, branches, gerrit/CI etc, so they won't cause nearly identical rebuilds, and either ccache or less common solutions such as btrfs/overlay fs are a huge help there (at a cost of couple TBsof storage but its manageable).
