Re: [android-building] Re: BUILD_TINY_ANDROID Now Obsolete

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

We're approaching from two fronts:

-we're moving to using true product definitions for everything (no
more LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := user), so that it'll be possible to
explicitly control exactly what ends up in the result without having
to disable individual makefiles (which is what BUILD_TINY_ANDROID
did).

-we're tweaking the build system so that by default it only compiles
what gets installed. That way, if you have a product definition that
only has the same low-level components that you'd expect in
TINY_ANDROID, you won't be unnecessarily compiling the entire world.

I'm not sure which of those are in AOSP at the moment.

From the commit daf5e22dbac03e174e22c8209ed97c44c3a2a2c9 in the build project,

it seems build/product/embedded.mk is the closest counterpart to the previous tiny android.

But embedded.mk seems not to be a buildable product,

 so you'll have to define a new product configuration that sets up the PRODUCT_DEVICE and inherits from only build/product/embedded.mk..
