Running yarn install fails with error: ld: library not found for -lindy

Note that the overall intent here is to be able to build the project to a .tgz file for use in a React Native app.

Hardware: Intel i7 MacBook Pro, M1 Mac Mini. Both running Big Sur. Steps

1. git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript
2. yarn install yields the error (among other output): ld: library not found for -lindy

What I’ve tried: yarn install indy-sdk and yarn install rn-indy-sdk Note that if I use install, I get the error: error "install" has been replaced with "add" to add new dependencies. Run "yarn add indy-sdk" instead. Using yarn add indy-sdk or yarn add rn-indy-sdk both yield the same error from before: ld: library not found for -lindy

@shoebsd31 I made a gist for installing everything to work with AFJ. It was tested on the newest version of POP!_OS (debian based) Check it here!

[shoebsd31]

Ah yeah that was my fault. Within the Indy-sdk you should cd into libindy.

My bad!

edit: I’ve updated the setup gist for debian based systems so you can follow that one (everything should be fine now).

that worked 😃 thanks !!!
