Problem in build android open source project

I download android open source project from Here

After downloaded, I used this command to clean UP etc...

$ make clobber

Then i got this problem

build/core/main.mk:42: ********************************************************************************
build/core/main.mk:43: *  You are using version 4.1 of make.
build/core/main.mk:44: *  Android can only be built by version 3.81.
build/core/main.mk:45: *  see http://source.android.com/source/download.html
build/core/main.mk:46: ********************************************************************************

I got make 4.1 default from android open source project

I'm using ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Excepted solution

  1. How to downgrade 4.1 to 3.81
  2. I can't able to install 1.6 JDK
Solution

  • I know that hell of dependencies to build AOSP, I live on Arch Linux and working build may fail after a system update.

    So now I'm using docker image with all deps preinstalled, without a need to upgrade system there, keeping my desktop Arch Linux independent.

    Just some results after googling:

    https://github.com/stucki/docker-lineageos (I used this one, but the next one may be a better choice)

    https://github.com/jfloff/docker-lineageos

    https://hub.docker.com/r/anthodingo/docker-lineageos/

    Also you may be interested to know that there's a Linux distro dedicated to AOSP development: http://bbqlinux.org/
