Describe the problem

I was trying to build the tensorflow-lite-1.15.2.aar from source on my local WIN10 PC,
I downloaded the source code and installed bazel following instructions online.
The version of ANDROID_NDK is 18.1.5063045 and ANDOIRD_SDK is 23
After configuring the bazelrc, I executed the build command and got the following error:

Here is the tf_configure.bazelrc content I got ,

• I have JDK1.8 installed before ,so I added the "java_toolchain" setting
• I used the ./configure to interactively configure it,but I couldn't get these "action_env" adout android, so I add those action_env manually.
• I tried to remove some of the "build:opt" ，it didn't work，cause I don't really understand all of them
• I tried to change the SDK and NDK higher ,to like 29/30, it didn't solve the problem either.

I am new to bazel and tensorflow , I feel there must be something wrong with my bazelrc, but I can't find similar problem online, so I'm trying to seek for help here. Thanks.

I ran the build command in git bash at first,now I tried cmder/cmd-bash, I still got the same error,
And I got another win10 laptop ,configured the environment from the very first step of python installation....
And I still got the same error message after I configured the same environment(Python3.7/ndk 18/android sdk 23/buildtool 30/bazel 0.26/jdk9)
I really hope somebody can give me some advice ,I'm totally stuck here

[nickkchenn]

@thaink Sorry to ask,but may you offer me some pro advice if possible,
I think it may be a very rookie mistake,but I just have no clue what to do with it now
any help would be appreciated... thanks

[thaink]

@nickkchenn In my experience, this error is related to bazel version. Maybe yours is too old.
I recomend to build it using docker https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide/build_android#set_up_build_environment_using_docker

And is there any reason that you are building 1.15.2 instead of our latest release?

[nickkchenn]

@thaink Thank you for your reply,

1. I'm building 1.15.2 for a old existing program which depends on this version of tflite, change of version may produce more unwanted workloads.
2. My goal was to put the building process on our own building-pipeline system, so I was trying to implement the process locally on my own machine first , now it seems not going to work though...
3. I read in the configure.py that _TF_MAX_BAZEL_VERSION = '0.26.1' ,so I chosed 0.26.1 , is it because that the bazel version is too old for my system?

[thaink]

Looking at the error message:

java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal character [:] in path at index 4: ///C:/Users/C00520~1/AppData/Local/Temp/android_resources_tmp5724987117968661034/linked/bin.-pb.apk

Look like bazel at that version is not supporting Windows' path really well. If you make no modification to the code it might be better to just use our prebuilt aar file or build it in Linux.

Anyway, TFLite is designed to be backward-compatibility so I would still recommend to try our latest version as the first option.

[nickkchenn]

ok,I understand it. I'll try to build it in linux instead or try with latest version
thank you very much
