Segfault while compiling AOSP (Nexus 7 - 2013 wifi)

[Adrian Tang]

My device is the Asus Google Nexus 7 - 2013 wifi tablet.

I was compiling the android-4.4.2-r1 build for AOSP on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, but the build process terminated with a segfault as follows:

$ uname -a

Linux ubuntu 3.8.0-44-generic #66~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 04:01:04 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4.2_r1

$ repo sync -c

(downloaded and extracted the Nexus 7 proprietary drivers into ./vendor)

$ . build/envsetup.sh

$ lunch aosp_flo-userdebug

$ make

...

including ./vendor/qcom/flo/proprietary/Android.mk ...

target thumb C: libcompiler_rt-extras <= external/compiler-rt/lib/mulodi4.c

make: *** [out/target/product/generic/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libcompiler_rt-extras_intermediates/lib/mulodi4.o] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I was wondering if anyone encountered this problem before. Will appreciate any help here. Thanks!

It's very likely you have faulty ram. This happened to me too, even though my memory passed Memtest. Try a different set of ram or putting your sticks of ram in one at a time and building. Chances are that at least one stick is bad... :(
