[9.0] Building takes more time

[vasanthmes]

Hi all,
Relatively am a new developer, trying to build aosp got everything figured out (I hope). Blindly following some instructions and got device tree from old nougat branch in google git. Building takes more time or just hangs not sure what is happening..
Before you guys reply like you can't do that or this, I just expect a polite answers.

Takes more thime then what?
Perhaps you should start with a known good configuration.

OK. But am having errors in several areas after doing make otapackage.
Is there any good device tree, vendor, kernel to start with?
Because the one I got is from master branch from google git and of course that is from a nougat version.


BTW I'm having a old laptop with i5 and 4Gigs of Ram. Probably that's why it is taking more time. Also running Ubuntu 18 on VM which is storing on my external hard disk of 2 TB connected through USB 3.0..
Am just curious and exploring things & trying to learn.

Thinking of giving up building 9.0 ...since I'm new to this.. May be proceeding with existing builds like 7.x.x from google or cm15.1 ..

4gb of ram is your culprit, I suggest 8gb or 16gb .
Building is RAM dependent , and it also requires a fast SSD. I don't build roms, but I read a lot ?

Using Google Cloud for building now. Its amazingly fast!!!!! :fingers-crossed:

My first lineage 15.1 build stuck on Google bootscreen..
Build is successful.
anybody knows how to get log or error?

If you want to build a ROM, you need to search and read a lot! This has been answered literally thousands of time on xda. Just use the search button and you would find that as a first result :fingers-crossed:

All the best for building the ROMs!

Do an -eng build, then you can debug the boot process via ADB.
Did you extract the vendor blobs, or add a repository containing them?

Vendor blobs I think I did, let me check once I reach home.
Thanks for advice on -eng build and by the way as nitin said I will check how to debug as well.

Been trying to build on Google Compute Engine VM... Crazy fast and best for those who are building for first time..
