AOSP Build using ICECC

[anish anil]

Hello Android,

We are trying to do AOSP build and on a regular day the build takes about 2 hours.

We tried using the below solutions to expedite the build time

1> Incredibuild

2> CloudBees Accelerator

3> Icecc

4> Distcc

The first two are super expensive but does a decent job. We however are evaluating ICECC to do the Android build and it does not use the node machines at any point to accelerate the build. To confirm the environment is working perfectly, I tried doing a linux build and a make -j30 does work as expected and the build completes in less than 2 minutes which ideally on a single node takes about 10 minutes.

How do we build AOSP using ICECC. Is it possible............if yes, is there a documentation that i can refer to get this done.

I saw the below article,

https://groups.google.com/g/android-building/c/iYqkdL6Fhrs

However this was written on a older version and years back so, unsure if it still works as the scripts uses "make" which does not work on the latest AOSP and it uses "m"

Any tool apart from ICECC that is being used to speed up the build operations or any suggestion to increase the performance of the AOSP build??

Thank you,

Anish
