Encountering error while building

I am a novice and trying to build master branch for Google Pixel since few days. Every time I am encountering error, such as

[ 58% 572/975] including system/sepolicy/Android.mk ...

system/sepolicy/Android.mk:79: warning: BOARD_SEPOLICY_VERS not specified, assuming current platform version

[100% 975/975] writing build rules ...

FAILED:

build/make/core/Makefile:28: error: overriding commands for target `out/target/product/sailfish/system/lib/libclcore_neon.bc', previously defined at build/make/core/base_rules.mk:414

20:51:27 ckati failed with: exit status 1

Following are the steps I have used in latest build attempt:

Downloaded the source code using following command: repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
Downloaded following binaries: Pixel binaries for Android (PPR2.181005.003) from https://developers.google.com/android/drivers
Extracted the binaries in working directory
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_sailfish-user
time make -j24

Since I have new working directory and downloaded the source code in it, therefore I did not run make clobber command. I have also used make clobber during previous build attempts. I have also tried with make -j4, however, same error remains.

Android documentation says "You can download official binaries for the supported devices running tagged AOSP release branches from Google's drivers. These binaries add access to additional hardware capabilities with non-open source code. To build the AOSP master branch, use the Binaries Preview instead. When building the master branch for a device, use the binaries for the most recent numbered release or with the most recent date.". Therefore, I have also tried with preview binaries also.

Am I doing anything wrong here? I am not sure about my choice of binaries. Pleas help!

And now when I am building android-9.0.0_r10 with Pixel binaries for Android (PPR2.181005.003) , I am getting this error:

I've never built from the master branch. I always build with the latest branch for my device.

Since you're building for Pixel (sailfish), try repo init with the 9.0.0_r10 branch, which is the most recent according to this link: https://source.android.com/setup/start/build-numbers
This branch will also match with the version on binaries that you already downloaded.

Note: Even if you successfully build, there seems to be a bug with the current binaries supplied by Google for AOSP 9.0 for Sailfish. Some files are missing and the SIM is not found. There is another thread in this group right now that addresses this issue and a workaround.

For the master branch on AOSP, you need the preview blobs, not the ones from PPR2: https://source.android.com/setup/build/requirements#binaries

For your 9.0.0_r10 build, why do you have a hardware/qcom/sdm845.mk file? Is it left over from a previous checkout?

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, looks like so. I downloaded 9.0.0_r10 branch in new working directory and able to build successfully. But now i getting boot loops after flashing using following command:

fastboot flashall -w in ~/working_directory/out/target/product/sailfish

Am I doing anything wrong here? Please suggest!

-Vincent

Try deleting the sdm845 directory. Under it are two symbolic links to files under a non-existent data/ directory, therein.

After I did that, an re-ran the build, the build continued from where it left off, and made it to 994/994, whereas before it choked

at 493/995. (note that the total is now 994, not 995, since we deleted one folder).
