Building AOSP rom: no rules to make target "external/wpa_supplicant_8/wpa_supplicant/eap_proxy_qmi.mk"

Question

I tried to build an AOSP 7.1.1 ROM for my device (lenovo zuk z1) using device trees from other CM based ROMs. The build fails after 1 minute with this error:

no rules to make target "external/wpa_supplicant_8/wpa_supplicant/eap_proxy_qmi.mk"

I tried to search on the web and XDA forums, but I couldn't find any help. I know that building an AOSP rom using CM device trees is quite difficult, but I want to know if there is a chance to do it or I should give up. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Give this a try.

rm -rf external/wpa_supplicant_8
git clone https://github.com/LineageOS/android_external_wpa_supplicant_8.git -b cm-14.1 external/wpa_supplicant_8

I hope this helps.
