Hi There i'm newbie in building rom and im facing this error while building ricedroid (Android 13) for Mi A1 (tissot):-

[100% 1/1] analyzing Android.bp files and generating ninja file at out/soong/build.ninja

Any idea how do i solve this issue

As i got one result on lineageos gerrit to change

PATH_OVERRIDE_SOONG := $(shell echo $(TOOLS_PATH_OVERRIDE))

in config/BoardConfigSoong.mk but issue remains same

Answer 1

Had the same issue and solved it by executing source build/envsetup.sh and then make idegen && development/tools/idegen/idegen.sh.

Answer 2

This is a device tree adaptation problem. You just need to do a breakfast <devicecodename> and the error that it throws will automatically tell you what filename that your lineage_devicecodename.mk should have... In my case, I had the same problem, when I'm trying with ricedroid_avicii.mk, but the actual string I should have was lineage_avicii.mk After adapting my device tree (Android.mk, common lunch choices, rom.dependencies, etc,) then PRODUCT_SOONG_NAMESPACES successfully took all the directories that it needed.

In your case you need to modify it to lineage_tissot in <something>_tissot.mk (the file name will be different for each device trees. Just look for <something>_tissot.mk file.) and AndroidProducts.mk file. Also rename that <something>_tissot.mk to lineage_tissot.mk

Feel free to ask your question regarding building roms. Hope you understand my guide. Thank You✨
