Jack-server failing on AOSP master

[Kim Schulz]

I am trying to build AOSP master, but the new JACK-server is giving me a hard time. 

During build I hit this:

Communication error with Jack server (58), try other ports or see Jack server log

Failed to contact Jack server: Problem reading /home/kschulz/.jack-server/client.pem

I have searched to try to find a solution for this but no one else seem to have discussed this problem yet. 

I have tested on Ubuntu 13, 14 and 15 without luck (all of which worked fine before moving to Jack). 

anyone that has an idea as to how I get by this problem ? 

thanks

Kill your existing jack servers and delete your .jack-server folder (it will be rebuilt automatically). Afterwards, I expect you to have other problems.  

I tried a lot of tricks, in the end I think this worked for me:

sudo aptitude install libcurl4-openssl-dev nss-updatedb 

I'm not sure which of the 2 packages was necessary but the build now runs.

My theory is, the building with jack uses the 'curl' program which for some reason cannot connect through ssl to the jack server because of some certificate incompatibility, NSS/OpenSSL, something like that.

[Kim Schulz]

Did have a other problems afterwards but not SSL related anymore. Now it runs out of resources (heap) and I need to start it with _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx6G" jack-admin start-server in order to get it to compile all of android.

I can get it compiled now but not exactly stable build. Jack server still wants to restart itself (or simply dies) and cannot connect afterwards. At some point it times out and I can restart the build and it will continue from where it died.

yes, i'm getting those too, found the Xmx option in build/core/config.mk, did the same as you, tried different larger values (added the Xms option, too) but still getting all sorts of errors. Sometines it explicitly complains about SSL, sometimes the build process gets stuck (with the java process taking 80-90% cpu). Also, jack server doesnt start if you only delete the '.jack-server' folder (found out that you must also clear the 'out' folder in that case, otherwise the folder doesnt get rebuilt). Frustrating.

[Blaze Ristov]

I think I finally found a neat and elegant solution - just turn off the damn jack server in build/core/configure_local_jack.mk by changing the line:

LOCAL_JACK_ENABLED := $(strip $(LOCAL_JACK_ENABLED))

into:

LOCAL_JACK_ENABLED := #$(strip $(LOCAL_JACK_ENABLED))

and my build of 6.0.1_r3 succeeded

unfortunately, the hack above might cause a different error when building a more recent aosp:

While when deleting the folder ~/.jack-server the current build system does not seem able to recreate the certificates client.pem and server.pem. I've solved by building an old version of the aosp (Dec'15) which correctly creates the certificates, and then rebuilding with the current version of the aosp..

Hi,

           When i tried to build the latest AOSP on ubuntu 14.04. i am getting this following error

Hi, try this:

# Use 7GB RAM for Jack Server -1GB from 8GB
export JACK_SERVER_VM_ARGUMENTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx7000m"
# Killing...
out/host/linux-x86/bin/jack-admin kill-server
# Starting...
out/host/linux-x86/bin/jack-admin start-server

[Avtar Singh]

Kim,

It is most likey to do with the memory. Try bumping RAM as mentioned by mexanicteam below. I do remember running into this problem, and I recall bumping up the RAM but I also recall reducing the number of simultaneous threads in jack-server. I can't recall the exact fix. However, what I had done was go through the readme-docs provided in the jack-server folder and play around with the settings they had mentioned.

Hi Валерий Тихомиров,

It works for me.

Many thanks.

To Kim & Avtar,

We can do 2 things.

1. edit $HOME/.jack-server/config.properties

and set jack.server.max-service=1

2. export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx2G"

./prebuilts/sdk/tools/jack-admin kill-server

./prebuilts/sdk/tools/jack-admin start-server

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

N. Singh

I'm having a similar issue. It seems jack is not *really* meant for multi-user builds -- and that is my case (I have a build server that multiple people use to build a shared lib that uses ndk). You need to check if the user you are running your build as is m_timenko. Any other user will not be able to access the jack-server installed under /home/m_timenko/.jack-server unless you properly configure it. I don't know how to configure it for multiple users, but there is a hint here: https://source.android.com/setup/build/jack that says:

Jack limitations

• By default, the Jack server is mono-user and can be used by only one user on a computer. To support additional users, select different port numbers for each user and adjust SERVER_NB_COMPILE accordingly. You can also disable the Jack server by setting SERVER=false in $HOME/.jack.

If anyone has an example of how to do this, I would certainly appreciate the help.
