Android 4.4.2. compilation error (wpa_supplicant_8)

Question

I recently acquire a UDOO Quad Board for Android development.

I'm trying to compile Android 4.4.2. from source files following the guide at: http://www.udoo.org/docs/Advanced_Setup/Compile_Android_From_Sources

but with no exit.

My UDOO files are all at my home folder: [udoo-android-dev] = guille@ubuntu:~/UDOO/UDOO_Android_4.4.2_Source_v1.0/4.4.2$

First of all, there is an issue, not a problematic one, at the executable setup at main folder.

Because setup is started with #!/bin/sh it's enable to use source neither lunch, because source is a special word for bash. Solution: I changed #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash and it worked ok.

And then I get to the big problem:

when I do “make” at [udoo-android-dev] , compilation starts showing all includes but there are some “problematic” lines.

guille@ubuntu:~/UDOO/UDOO_Android_4.4.2_Source_v1.0/4.4.2$ make

And there is no more compilation.

So the problem is that wpa_supplicant_8.

I've tried with the default cross_compiler indicated with setup executable and also with the cross compiler I downloaded from UDOO web.

Thanks for your time, Guillermo

Answer 1

I solved the problem.

beside installing multiple libraries 64 and 32 bits, my problem was that having more thean one version of Java(orcale 6, open 6 and open 7) It has to be selected oracle 6 for all Java modules (java, javac, javaws and the others).

I got other errors, but I did a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 over VMware workstation player, and after some tweaking did work.
