How to build fastboot for windows from Android N

[Xiaofeng Lei]

Hi all,

Recently we moved to Android N from M, and I'm working on poring some customized features to fastboot project. When I'm trying to build fastboot utility for Windows with the command "make -j8 fastboot USE_MINGW=1", it still generates the binary for Linux:

Starting build with ninja

ninja: Entering directory `.'

[100% 17/17] Install: out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot

#### make completed successfully (30 seconds) ####

Does anyone know how to generate "fastboot" utility?

Thanks,

Stanley

Windows builds are now integrated with the linux build, make fastboot
should build both the linux and windows versions, and USE_MINGW=1 is
unnecessary.

You don't need to use USE_MINGW anymore, the build system understands how to do host cross-compiles natively now. Just doing 'mma' in system/core/fastboot will build both the linux and windows versions. You could also use:

   m -j8 host_cross_fastboot

As the most similar command to what you were running.

Thanks Colin & Dan.

The default command "make -j8 fastboot" can't build out fastboot for windows, but the two commands from Dan are working well.

Thanks,
