hi Team,

I am new to AOSP and trying to build android for raspberry pi 4b but while running make command
  "make bootimage systemimage vendorimage -j$(nproc) "
for
"lunch rpi4_car-eng"
I am getting following error.
09:30:53 Build sandboxing disabled due to nsjail error.

    I tried to search for this error but with no solution.
    Any suggestions on this can solve my problem.
Thanks & Regards

looks like you're using WSL --- use real Linux instead. (or
https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1755 suggests that WSL2 might
work better than WSL1.)

Updating wsl1 to wsl2 resolved my following errors.
09:30:53 Build sandboxing disabled due to nsjail error.

But now when I am running this command 
make bootimage systemimage vendorimage -j12
I am getting the following error. I think it requires more memory. I am running with 16GB of ram that only allocates 13.5GB.

yeah, it _may_ be possible, but i don't know of anyone who uses less
than 64GiB, and i think we've heard from people having trouble
building with 32GiB. 16GiB is definitely too little.

Thanku so much for your reply.
Yes. I am using Windows 11 and installed Ubuntu via the command "wsl --install -d ubuntu". Do I need to uninstall Windows and install Ubuntu on my system?

I had the same problem with machine  with 32 gib 
only on the main branch, when I switch to specific flag it works, and when I change to 64 gib it worked with main branch also

Hi Kiran,

In your system more than 16 GB RAM then it will build without any issue.

Thanks,
Balaji

I got the solution to solve build error due to 16gb ram by creating a swap file and by allocating the specific memory required to run the build command and it worked for me.

Hi Kiran,

Great.  Still are you using 16 GB RAM 

Please share the creating a swap file commands



Thanks,
Balaji
