[Bug]: Building apt fails with configure: exit code 77

[shrihankp]

Problem description

The logs: http://0x0.st/o9JZ.log

What steps will reproduce the bug?

1. Change package ID in scripts/properties.sh
2. Run scripts/setup-ubuntu.sh and scripts/setup-android-sdk.sh.
3. Run scripts/run-docker.sh ./scripts/build-bootstraps.sh -a nodejs,openjdk-17 --architectures aarch64
4. See a configure error for apt.

Edit: the specific error is thrown by /usr/bin/as: unrecognised option: -EL. Why would it use the system's own assembler when it must use the one from AOSP?

What is the expected behavior?

Should build apt and other packages.

System information

Shouldn't be related, but anyways...

From the logs:

configure:3882: aarch64-linux-android-clang -fstack-protector-strong -Oz -no-integrated-as -I/data/data/com.reisxd.rvba/files/usr/include -L/data/data/com.reisxd.rvba/files/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath=/data/data/com.reisxd.rvba/files/usr/lib -fopenmp -static-openmp -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now conftest.c >&5

configure:3886: $? = 1
configure:3924: result: no
configure: failed program was:

| #define PACKAGE_NAME "libgcrypt"

Should be fixed by #11615

Run `scripts/run-docker.sh ./scripts/build-bootstraps.sh -a nodejs,openjdk-17 --architectures aarch64

build-bootstraps.sh is actually not working at the moment. See #10462

@truboxl Thanks for informing! Is there any other way I could build using a custom package name for now?

[truboxl]

You can try replace build-bootstraps.sh step with

#10540 per #10462 (comment) suggestion

or

./scripts/run-docker.sh ./build-package.sh -a aarch64 apt bash command-not-found dash debianutils dos2unix ed inetutils lsof nano net-tools patch proot termux-keyring unzip nodejs openjdk-17
and then with #11491
./scripts/run-docker.sh ./scripts/generate-bootstraps.sh -c --architectures aarch64 -a nodejs openjdk-17

Not sure about the last one though, you may want to check TERMUX_PKG_DEPENDS packages for those last 2 and add them since generate-bootstraps.sh is dumber

As always these are provided with no guarantees. Either might have hidden issues down the road.
I hope this helps, will close this issue for now.
