Building Alexa Auto SDK https://github.com/alexa/alexa-auto-sdk/blob/3.2/builder/README.md

Using Ubuntu 20.04 (I've no more 18.04) I run with

./builder/build.sh android -t androidx86-64 --android-api 28

into

This is the last significant part from /home/hannes/git/alexa-auto-sdk/builder/build/tmp-android-28/work/x86_64-linux/m4-native/1.4.18-r0/temp/log.do_compile.2647129

Does someone knows how to solve it ?

This was an interoperability problem between GNU m4 1.4.18 and newer glibc header files.

It is fixed in GNU m4 1.4.19, available from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/ and the GNU mirrors.

  • But how to apply m4 1.4.19 ? I did: wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.19.tar.gz && tar -xvzf m4-1.4.19.tar.gz && cd m4-1.4.19/ && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/m4 && make But system still uses 1.4.18 – hannes ach Sep 17 '21 at 06:00

I had a similar issue when I compiling in yocto.

Please Remove this line

#if defined _IO_ftrylockfile || __GNU_LIBRARY__ == 1 /* GNU libc, BeOS, Haiku, Linux libc5 */

and add this line in the file.

#if defined _IO_EOF_SEEN || __GNU_LIBRARY__ == 1 /* GNU libc, BeOS, Haiku, Linux libc5 */

Also updated stdio-impl.h with:

/* Glibc 2.28 made _IO_IN_BACKUP private.  For now, work around this
problem by defining it ourselves.  FIXME: Do not rely on glibc
internals.  */

#if !defined _IO_IN_BACKUP && defined _IO_EOF_SEEN
# define _IO_IN_BACKUP 0x100
#endif
