I tried with the following defconfigs:

• cheeseburger_defconfig
• defconfig
• lineage_cheeseburger_defconfig
• msm_defconfig
• msm-perf_defconfig

Can it be that I am missing a source?

[rancidfrog]

Look at source:
Available configs, https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8998/tree/d6d9f5d6225fa9dfa20522f6a5d0ebd15f0440ba/arch/arm64/configs

Still no rule to build the target vmlinux; The target arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz-dtb was not updated because of errors. I have built a lot of Kernels in the last couple of days. I am probably confused with the defconfigs.

How can i get the missing dependencies ?

[rancidfrog]

Read your errors properly!!!
Nothing to do with vmlinux:
fatal error: ./ipa_trace.h: No such file or directory
fatal error: msm_isp.h: No such file or directory
fatal error: ./kgsl_trace.h: No such file or directory

Already an issue: #3
Kernel fails to build when building only kernel.

Needs full source, and make bootimage:

Building the System

[Set up environment]
Initialize the environment with the envsetup.sh script. git a $ . build/envsetup.sh
[Choose a Target]
Choose which target to build with lunch.
$ lunch
enter 25 for msm8996-userdebug
enter 26 for msm8996-user
[Build the code]
Build everything with make. GNU make can handle parallel tasks with a -jN argument.
$ make -j4

Try fix: adindotdev/oneplus5-kernel@ec4ec68

[MrFlyingToasterman]

Where can i find a documentation to build ?
And where can i find the full source ?

[rancidfrog]

Downloading the Source

Repo sync all code with default.xml
repo init -u git://github.com/OnePlusOSS/android.git -b oneplus/QC8998_N_7.1 --depth=1 repo sync

Root your device

Pull the necessary libraries from your device by executing the script pull_library.sh

After pull_library.sh be executed, a directory named "vendor" should be generated. Copy this directory to root of project.

Building the System

[Set up environment]
Initialize the environment with the envsetup.sh script. git a $ . build/envsetup.sh
[Choose a Target]
Choose which target to build with lunch.
$ lunch
enter **32 for msm8998-userdebug 33 for msm8998-user

[Build the code]
Build everything with make. GNU make can handle parallel tasks with a -jN argument.
$ make -j4
[Flash a Device]
Let device enter fastboot mode, run
$ adb reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, run
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
If you want flash new /data partition, run
$ fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

[adindotdev]

The current kernel source is not able to be built with GCC 4.9 without making some basic changes. As @rancidfrog already mentioned, the following patch is necessary to have a successful build:

adindotdev/oneplus5-kernel@1492bdf

[SscSPs]

Which version did it work with without these modifications?

[adindotdev]

I build with Google's latest GCC 4.9 prebuilt.

It can be found here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/

[joshchoo]

Build works fine without needing any fixes as long as you specify an output directory in all your make commands. E.g. "make O=out ...". No issues when building msmcortex-perf_defconfig
