How to build SDK from AOSP

[lee jade]

I tried to build the SDK from AOSP through:
    source build/envsetup.sh
    lunch sdk_x86-eng
    make sdk

And get followed error:
build/core/main.mk:674: *** Module 'layoutopt' in PRODUCT_PACKAGES has nothing to install!.  Stop.


I switch to lunch full_x86-eng and get the error :
    build/core/main.mk:674: *** Module 'AlarmProvider' in PRODUCT_PACKAGES has nothing to install!.  Stop.

However, if I use android-sdk-4.0.3_r1 branch (i.e. repo init -u xxxxx -b  android-sdk-4.0.3_r1), seems evryone is working.

So is AOSP supposed to support SDK building?

Thanks

I would be very glad to get feedback on this question as well. Ran
into the same problem on AOSP master branch,
and I need to be able to create the SDK as well (to include
Android.jar as a platform for application development, although I am
sure this can be some how workaround with the framework intermediates
but I can't get it right.)

It should be fixed by https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/31451/.

Anytime you see "Module has nothing to install" in SDK build, you can just remove that module name from the product conguration.

How do we that?  Where do find the references, and is there a Macro we could use to help filter out the problematic modules?
