Can not do repo init for Android Pie

Parth · December 10, 2020, 6:58am

Hello,

I am not able to do repo init. I am getting the following error.

Output:

This is urget. Can anybody tell me the solution?

This appears to be a question not regarding the VIM3 but more Linux in general.
Suggest you try at askubuntu.com or similar for the O/S your working with.

Electr1 · December 11, 2020, 3:14am

@JustSumDad its android building question to be precise, but yes, the approach is true

@Parth you better check on some Android forums, or the android discord server, if you really want faster response to your questions based on android building, or check on stackoverflow,
those are the best places you can find answers quick

Parth · December 14, 2020, 12:08pm

I am not trying to build the source code but just trying to init the repo of Android Pie for VIM3. I am trying to download the SDK for VIM3.

Command ----> repo init -u https://github.com/khadas/android_manifest.git -b khadas-vims-pie

@JustSumDad @Electr1
Solved this problem by downloading the latest version of Repo.
Thanx

Juan_Tantera · December 16, 2020, 12:52pm

Hi Parth, how do you get the last version?
I updated today but the error is still there.

Thanks, Juan.

Boudour · December 16, 2020, 2:55pm

did you configure your environment before building ?

taimed · December 16, 2020, 2:56pm

Python-related error

Juan_Tantera · December 16, 2020, 3:20pm

Hi Boudour,
I try this but nothing different happened.

I think, like taimed said, is related with Python, this is the log

Any suggest?
Thank you for your help.
Regards, Juan.

Boudour · December 16, 2020, 3:21pm

try to configure your environment

$ sudo apt-get install repo
$mkdir ~/bin
$PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

$ sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g+±multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip fontconfig ccache u-boot-tools
see this https://source.android.com/setup/develop

after that check if you are using python 3 if no so install it there is a problem with python

Boudour · December 16, 2020, 3:22pm

delete the /home/bin folder a,nd reinstall the repo again

taimed · December 16, 2020, 3:28pm

python3 + instruction
ie:
python3 repo init …

Parth · December 16, 2020, 3:32pm

Yes, you are trying to run python 3 files in python 2 environments.

I followed three steps to solve this issue. Let me give you the steps.

Download the last version of repo: curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo-1 > repo
Change right to make it executable: chmod a+x repo

After these two steps add ‘repo’ in the local path.

Run your repo init with python3 and the “repo” you just download: python3 repo init -u https://github.com/khadas/android_manifest.git -b khadas-vims-pie

Let me know if this works for you or not.

Juan_Tantera · December 16, 2020, 5:27pm

I follow the steps and it works like charm!
Thank you Boudour, taimed and Parth!

Regards, Juan.

I follow the steps and it works! (only revise two instructions below)
Thank you ChiaHungMou

sudo update-alternatives --install /bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.6 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 2

jian_shu · February 5, 2021, 9:07am

Yes, it works. This is a python issue.

Haneef · August 12, 2021, 9:02am

Thanks a lot, above set of commands related to Python worked for me.
