Build Redroid 13 with MindTheGapps "tau" will show ERROR!

[titusbiao]

After reading the latest "Build Redroid with Docker" document, I can successfully build the Redroid 12 with MindTheGapps "sigma". Everything runs fine!

However, when we change the version to Redroid 13 with MindTheGapps "tau", when we run "m -j$(nproc)" following the Step 5), ERROR will come out:

titusbiao@redroid-builder:/src$ m -j$(nproc)

The problem seems that in MindTheGapps 13 "tau", there is no "libsketchology_native.so" in the "vendor/gapps/arm64/proprietary/product/app/MarkupGoogle/lib/arm64" folder. It can be checked here.

The similar situation occurs in Redroid 14 with MindTheGapps 14 "upsilon", no "libsketchology_native.so" either, see here.

So anything we should do to avoid the problem? Just ignore the following when "Patch GApps files" in Step 3) GApps (optional)?

# Then we create the "~/redroid/vendor/gapps/arm64/proprietary/product/app/MarkupGoogle/Android.bp"
echo 'cc_prebuilt_library_shared {
    name: "libsketchology_native",
    srcs: ["lib/arm64/libsketchology_native.so"],
    shared_libs: [],
    stl: "none",
    system_shared_libs: [],
    vendor: true,
}' > ~/redroid/vendor/gapps/arm64/proprietary/product/app/MarkupGoogle/Android.bp

Can anybody help?

Try skipping the section Patch GApps files from 3) GApps (optional) and see if it works. This patch was mainly needed for Redroid 12. Apply the redroid patch from section 4) normally.

I believe you need file an issue to MTG; Or apply patches just like you mentioned.

OK, Thanks. I'll try it.

Hello, after many attempts, I found that just ignoring the following paragraph when Patch GApps files in Step 3) GApps (optional) will pass the building process:

# Then we create the "~/redroid/vendor/gapps/arm64/proprietary/product/app/MarkupGoogle/Android.bp"
echo 'cc_prebuilt_library_shared {
    name: "libsketchology_native",
    srcs: ["lib/arm64/libsketchology_native.so"],
    shared_libs: [],
    stl: "none",
    system_shared_libs: [],
    vendor: true,
}' > ~/redroid/vendor/gapps/arm64/proprietary/product/app/MarkupGoogle/Android.bp

Thanks for tips.
