Make targets

Here is a list of different make targets you can use to build different parts of the system:

• make sdk - build the tools that are part of an SDK (adb, fastboot, etc.)
• make snod - build the system image from the current software binaries
• make services
• make runtime
• make droid - make droid is the normal build.
• make all - make everything, whether it is included in the product definition or not
• make clean - remove all built files (prepare for a new build). Same as rm -rf out/<configuration>/
• make modules - shows a list of submodules that can be built (List of all LOCAL_MODULE definitions)
• make <local_module> - make a specific module (note that this is not the same as directory name. It is the LOCAL_MODULE definition in the Android.mk file)
• make clean-<local_module> - clean a specific module
• make bootimage TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL=/path/to/bzImage - create a new boot image with custom bzImage

Helper macros and functions

There are some helper macros and functions that are installed when you source envsetup.sh. They are documented at the top of envesetup.sh, but here is information about a few of them:

• hmm - List this help text
• lunch <product_name>-<build_variant> - Load product & build variant config (driver files, device specific configs, etc).
• tapas [<App1> <App2> ...] [arm|x86|mips|armv5|arm64|x86_64|mips64] [eng|userdebug|user] - command is for building unbundled apps. If you don't supply a build variant, it defaults to eng.
• provision - Flash device with all required partitions. Options will be passed on to fastboot.

Build Macros and functions

• croot - change directory to the top of the tree
• m - execute 'make' from the top of the tree (even if your current directory is somewhere else)
• mm - builds all of the modules in the current directory
• mmm <dir1> ... - Builds all of the modules in the supplied directories, but not their dependencies. To limit the modules being built use the syntax: mmm dir/:target1,target2.
• mma - Builds all of the modules in the current directory, and their dependencies.
• mmma <dir1> ... - Builds all of the modules in the supplied directories, and their dependencies.

Grep macros and functions

• cgrep <PATTERN> Greps on all local C/C++ files.
• ggrep <PATTERN> Greps on all local Gradle files.
• jgrep <PATTERN> Greps on all local Java files.
• resgrep <PATTERN> Greps on all local res/*.xml files.
• mangrep <PATTERN> Greps on all local AndroidManifest.xml files.
• mgrep <PATTERN> Greps on all local Makefiles files.
• sepgrep <PATTERN> Greps on all local sepolicy files.
• sgrep <PATTERN> Greps on all local source files.
• godir <filename> Go to the directory containing a file
