Hello guys, trying to build Shashlik on Arch Linux with this commands: $ repo init -u https://github.com/shashlik/shashlik-manifest $ repo sync $ source build/envsetup.sh $ make and got the following error:

Same issue here, see latest comments at http://www.shashlik.io/what-is/. You're not alone. That piece of code is in build/core/soong.mk

If you run git remote show you'll see the branch in the build/core folder is "aosp." Then, git remote show aosp will show that this code comes from "https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build".

Here is the debug log / verbose output from make -nd (dry run debug). Maybe some clues in there possibly.

In the master branch, bootstrap.bash can be found at this code path

The main chunk appears to be this:

Maybe the buiid settings are enterly wrong? I thought Android should be build for x86 not for ARM.

EDIT: I've think I got it. Try to clone this repo in the build dir and replace it with the old build dir in the repo.

@ProfessorKaos64 @rafaelsoaresbr Hey, did you solve this problem? I am building brillo OS, and I meet this error too. make: *\ No rule to make target bootstrap.bash', needed byout/soong/.soong.bootstrap'. Stop.` Could you please share your solution or some tips? Thank you very much. :)

[mdeguzis]

@xiaokc I haven't, no. I am have been busy with other things, but perhaps I could look more this week. This doesn't seem to have been reviewed by a dev yet.

this is not a complete solution, but helps a bit: from source root dir git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/soong build/soong git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/blueprint/ build/blueprint/ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/go/linux-x86 prebuilts/go/linux-x86 ln -s build/soong/bootstrap.bash

But it complains about missing Android.bp and if you link build/soong/Android.bp, starts complaining about some more directories. Edit: ln -s build/soong/root.bp Android.bp <- does the trick Edit2: keeps complaining about missing dependencies: libunwind_llvm libcrypto liblz4 libgoogle-benchmark libgmock libselinux ...
