Building C++ shared library errors

[Viral Shah]

Hello, 

I’m trying to build a GRPC dylib on macOS (v12.2).

Following instructions here to build for C++, I can successfully build libgrpc.a. When I try to build a shared library, I’m hitting below errors. Any help / pointers would be appreciated. 

Steps:

1) git clone -b RELEASE_TAG_HERE https://github.com/grpc/grpc

2) cd grpc

3) git submodule update —init

4) mkdir -p cmake/build

5) cd cmake/build

6) cmake -DgRPC_INSTALL=YES -DgRPC_BUILD_TESTS=OFF \

    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ../..

7) make (fails here)

Also tried to use' FetchContent_Declare' of Cmake mentioned on the website. It results in the same error.

Errors:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [third_party/boringssl-with-bazel/libssl.dylib] Error 1
make[1]: *** [third_party/boringssl-with-bazel/CMakeFiles/ssl.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have attached a partial console log file if it helps. I have tried the latest GRPC version and also tried the 1.35.0 version. 

Thank you.

Hey Viral,

If you can, it'd be useful to use the latest version of gRPC instead of 1.35.

And I tried to read the attached log file but it seems to be truncated. I couldn't find any error messages from it. Would you double-check the file?
