Building Android: error: “_FORTIFY_SOURCE” redefined [-Werror]

28 June, 2012 8:52 /

If you are building an old version of android probably you’ll have this error

host C++: obbtool <= frameworks/base/tools/obbtool/Main.cpp :0:0: error: “_FORTIFY_SOURCE” redefined [-Werror]
:0:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors

To fix this, edit build/core/combo/HOST_linux-x86.mk and replace:

HOST_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0

with

HOST_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0

And that’s it.
