Hi all,

This is Neeli Srinivas. I am new to GRPC. I am trying to compile grpc for arm architecture.

for compilation of GRPC I am getting below error.

make: *** [/home/srinin3/pybuild/ssp-linux-a6_os/lib_oss/grpc/libs/opt/libares.a] Error 1

How can i rectify this error ?

is there any special process need to follow for compilation of grpc ?

I am using grpc 1.7.3 with protobuf 3.2.0

Advanched Thanks

Thanks

Actually, this doesn't really seem related to arm per-se. This feels like a normal bug in our dependency tree for the ares dependency. You should be able to bypass this one (if it hasn't been fixed yet) by actually installing the c-ares library on your system.
