Error building kernel - unable to find *.o files

[Tomasz Witke]

Still trying to build android-x86 on macOS :-)

This time I'm unable to build kernel, and can't find the reason. Full log here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lcvR0zS7fFTaQFyXPQQ6TwU-MrGAGhHD (60MB of plain text!). Last lines of output:

Please, give me some advise.

It's been awhile since ive touched mac, but i remember its always been a pain? why not just run an linux VM?

well regardless the first step for me would be to verify the enviroment is built correctly

To verify the file system is case sensitive make sure output says case sensitive journaled HFS+

Make sure you have xcode-select installed

sometimes you have to change your deployment target

if you are using brew make sure that is updated

hmmm... you may have to link gcc

But seriously IMO if you can just use an ubuntu VM or something else
