Compiling Android-x86 To ISO File (Or EFI IMG File)

[S B]

Dear Android-x86 Community,

I am trying to compile my own Android-x86 image for usage at home. The only problem I am having is that it can't compile it. It gives an error saying that "iso_img" and "efi_img" is unknown. I have already set the build target (aosp_x86_64). Here is the whole string of commands:

"mkdir Android711TV"
...

"lunch"

So far I have tried this over 15 times, spent 5 days searching Google and all I get is out of date guides or even ones that are for a different operating system. Please help me with this issue. Your time is very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Sam

Android O is not released yet.
Where is your codebase from?

"iso_img" is a build target defined by android-x86, not in AOSP.

"efi_img" is deprecated. Don't use it.

If you want to build android-x86, read the page
about how to get the source:

http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode

If you want to build x86 target on your O codebase,
it's your tasks to conquer it.

I'm so sorry. I didn't happen to realize that it was going to do Android O. No wonder why this didn't work. Thank you so much.

I guess I forgot to select the nougat branch. I will delete my downloaded source and then choose the nougat branch.

Thanks for catching my error. I need coffee.
