Conscrypt build failure

Hi, I just tried to build conscrypt after following the instructions regarding prerequisites including the set-up of boringssl. The build failed with the error whose output is listed below.

Could you please help me resolve this problem?

Thanks,

Alex Donnini

Sounds plausible, you may also be hitting https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/5760

Taking a step back, what are you trying to accomplish overall here? If you just want to write some okhttp code, then you don’t actually need to install Conscrypt at all, it’s an optional dependency.

On Android, the system’s primary security provider is (essentially) Conscrypt anyway, and the main reason for installing Conscrypt with your app is to get an up-to-date version for when your app is targeting older Android releases, but at this point in your app development it may not be worth getting into that level of yak shaving.
