Shamu build failure

[Matthew Gillman]

Hi everyone

This is the first time I've tried to build Android.

I am trying to build it for a device from several years ago: an Amazon Fire 7 (7th generation), which runs Android 5.1 (API level 22), Nexus 6, Lollipop, LYZ28M

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (jammy).

I downloaded the latest version of the relevant branch:

`$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest --depth=1 --partial-clone --clone-filter=blob:limit=10M -b android-5.1.1_r22`

`$ repo sync -c -j8`

I did the above in my directory `/home/matt/repos/Fire7Tablet`

As per instructions for older versions, I'm using the Docker file as described, but with the lines about `repo` commented out, as I already had `repo` installed.

i.e. I commented out these commands in the Dockerfile
`RUN curl -o /usr/local/bin/repo https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo \
&& echo "d06f33115aea44e583c8669375b35aad397176a411de3461897444d247b6c220 /usr/local/bin/repo" | sha256sum --strict -c - \ && chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/repo`

but manually made my `repo` executable: `sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/repo`

Then

`$ export ANDROID_BUILD_TOP=/home/matt/repos/Fire7Tablet`

`$ cp ~/.gitconfig gitconfig $ docker build --build-arg userid=$(id -u) --build-arg groupid=$(id -g) --build-arg username=$(id -un) -t android-build-trusty .`

successful, so then start the Docker file interactively:

```

$ docker run -it --rm -v $ANDROID_BUILD_TOP:/src android-build-trusty

> cd /src; source build/envsetup.sh

> lunch aosp_shamu-userdebug

> m -j50

```

The build gets as far as this:

```

What am i doing wrong, and where can I find the error it describes (in the source code)?

Thanks.

Hi

I managed to fix it.

The first thing I changed was to explicitly set an environment variable in the Dockerfile, as I had seen an error about this on a previous build:

`ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive"`

However, I think what really fixed it was that i drastically reduced the number of processes from 50 to 4:

`m -j4  -d > build.txt 2>&1`

Is there a test suite I can run?

Thanks

Matthew
