Disabling JACK in android compilation

Question

Does anybody know how to completely disable jack while compiling AOSP (Master)?

I\'ve always had problems with jack, so I\'ve just always turned it

Answer 1

I would recommend to use AOSP tag to build instead of master branch. For example, latest released Marshmallow is android-6.0.1_r43 tag.

So let's look at clear_vars.mk which is responsible for default values: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/android-6.0.1_r43/core/clear_vars.mk#110

LOCAL_JACK_ENABLED:=$(DEFAULT_JACK_ENABLED) # '' (ie disabled), disabled, full, incremental

So you either have to override LOCAL_JACK_ENABLED per module in Android.mk or define global default value with DEFAULT_JACK_ENABLED variable.

P.S. It's better to ask such questions on Google Groups: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/android-building
