how can i fix this?

Dude stop the off topic please. This isn't the correct thread, open a new one on your xda device thread. And for info if you checked the lineage forums or even the envsetup.sh, you would have seen that you can specify a directory with repopick XXXXX -P Android/.....

I fixed that by cherrypicking another commit for cm14.1
but now i got another errors

This thread is for lineage-15.1. Repopicking my commits will not work out of the box because they are only available on lineage-15.1. Your problem is that you're using the prebuilt 32-bit bison that causes crashes on wsl. You need to compile the 64-bit bison and set that one to be used by the build system. You can do that by backporting my commits to cm-14.1 on gerrit if you want. I personally am only planning on supporting the latest version available (currently lineage-15.1).

Thanks for this, quite cool! Is there an easy way to see what this repopick will change? I'm curious what's all in your magic

Yup, just open lineageOS Gerrit and type wsl in the search bar

Anybody figured out a way around the /proc/cpuinfo + clang.real segmentation fault issue yet?

If you search the thread for cpuinfo you'd find that someone else did have the same error and how they solved it

I DID read this whole thread and I did not find a solution. Unlike SaberShip I did not change standard paths to another drive or anything similar. Re-running the build again (without changing anything) worked this time, so it might be some intermittent issue.

I didn't know that you hadn't moved the path. The only cpuinfo related issue I had been made aware of was due to /mnt.
this is all issues reported on cpuinfo on wsl so far: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues?utf8=✓&q=is:issue+cpuinfo
it does look like it isn't working 100% like it would in native.
on another note, the rig you have will also make a difference.
Before my latest set of patches, I had noticed that some errors that showed up in some builds would not happen again when relaunching the build. As a rule of thumb it is good to try again and see if the error is frequent or consistent.
We are building on a system that is not designed to support android compilation after all.

It was around 15-16 GB in MM days when i built for Yureka. Don't think it will be less than 10 GB in any condition for repo

I have checked the device tree (github/LineageOS/android_device_oppo_find7/tree/lineage-15.1) and 15.1 do exist. What is causing this problem and how do I solve it?

Sorry, it's my bad. You skipped a step but that's because I removed it by mistake from my guide the other day while editing it. I've added it back. Check step 8. And follow the rest as usual.

I got to the last step, it was building for my device, and it said it had failed to load a boot animation, couldn't find it, but a zip has been created. I looked in the appropriate folder, couldn't find it. Alao I closed out the VM when I left for work, hoping it would save, so either way I'll be trying again tonight. Just wondering would a zip be created even thou it gave a failure for not finding a boot animation? I was building for the v20 h910, 14.1 just to get the hang of it , my first build lol

I don't have that device so I can't tell if the error is normal. It doesn't sound like it is a WSL build environment failure though. Sounds like the device tree upstream or locally has stuff missing. By VM do you mean WSL?
Some errors are fatal and will cause builds to crash. Others are not fatal and will allow the build to continue. Sounds like yours was part of the latter. It may be worth giving it a try (meaning flashing it on your phone) but that is up to you to consider the risks.
Do let me know what you get when you try building again tonight

Its not, I couldn't get Ubuntu to work, so I used a preconfigured VM called "Builduntu" , I was leaving for work, and couldn't investigate. I checked a few folders. But it just now occurred to me that I needed to check the "out" folder, after rereading the guide. If it wasn't for you, though, I wouldn't have tried this. Thanks a lot dude

Glad I was able to help. My focus is on WSL though, that is the build env I recommend for Windows 10 and it is the only thing I can help with. VMs are a different beast and dual-boot too.

Hi. I tried your step and something came up when I tried to execute repo init.

eimanrasydan@DESKTOP-17LQC9L:~/android/lineage$ repo init -u github/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-15.1
fatal: manifest 'default.xml' not available
fatal: no <manifest> in /home/eimanrasydan/android/lineage/.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml

and when I continued to the breakfast step, same problem occur. Hope you can help me on this.
