Error building grpc with bazel on Ubuntu 18.04.4

[nisarg...@gmail.com]

I'm following the steps at https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/BUILDING.md to build grpc from source for Ubuntu 18.04.4. So far I've executed the following commands successfully.

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config
$ sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev
$ sudo apt-get install clang-5.0 libc++-dev
$ git clone -b $(curl -L https://grpc.io/release) https://github.com/grpc/grpc
$ cd grpc

When I try to build it with bazel, I get the following error -

$ ~/private/bazel-2.0.0-linux-x86_64 build :all
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...

How do I resolve this?

I tried building it with v1.26.0 tag instead of v1.25.0, and now I get the following error -

We're not Bazel 2.0 ready yet.

Thanks Nicolas, I tried building ti with bazel 1.0.0 and it fails with this error -

Here is clang version info

This one indicates something is aloof with your compiler environment. stdarg.h is supposed to be a system header.

Nisarg,

I'm not able to reproduce.

I ran under the ubuntu:18.04 docker image with Bazel 2.0:

root@6cd6278876b8:/grpc# tools/bazel --version

INFO: Running bazel wrapper (see //tools/bazel for details), bazel version 2.0.0 will be used instead of system-wide bazel installation.

bazel 2.0.0

I installed just a few system packages:

root@6cd6278876b8:/grpc# history

    1  cd /grpc

    2  apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y python python3 clang

    3  tools/bazel build //:all

    4  tools/bazel --version

    5  history

And the build completed successfully:

INFO: Analyzed 98 targets (30 packages loaded, 2910 targets configured).

INFO: Found 98 targets...

INFO: Elapsed time: 83.488s, Critical Path: 16.32s

INFO: 1364 processes: 1364 processwrapper-sandbox.

INFO: Build completed successfully, 1535 total actions

I am using master instead of the latest release. Perhaps that's what's making the difference?
