Building gRPC C++ from source

I am trying to build gRPC c++ from source from Build gRPC C++ I have already installed bazel. Though when I tried to build I am seeing following error.

$ bazel build :all
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...
ERROR: /home/bigz/.cache/bazel/_bazel_bigz/a68d37101a3d172c639dd67a1941f719/external/io_bazel_rules_python/python/pip.bzl:39:25: Traceback (most recent

Could someone point what I am missing here.

When I tried to run bazel info, I am getting following error.

$ bazel info --incompatible_disable_deprecated_attr_params=false
ERROR: /home/bigz/.cache/bazel/_bazel_bigz/a68d37101a3d172c639dd67a1941f719/external/org_pubref_rules_protobuf/protobuf/internal/proto_compile.bzl:771:21: name 'FileType' is not defined

Though bazel --version shows as bazel 2.0.0.

$ bazel --version
bazel 2.0.0

The commit of grpc you are trying to build is not compatible with the version of bazel you have installed (2.0.0).

The commit 9dfbd34f5c0b20bd77658c73c59b9a3e4e8f4e14 is quite old (15 April 19), where the HEAD of that repo (at the time of writing this) is at eba60d8dbe4099c34b8097b2c89998d4484740ac, which now in BUILDING.md shows you need at least version 1.0.0 (there is a bazel wrapper at tools/bazel that will intercept and use 1.0.0 anyway)

For your specific commit however, trying different versions, I was able to build :all label with bazel version 0.20.0

I'd recommend trying bazelisk. You can add it to your PATH, add a .bazelversion file to the repository and bazelisk will take care of downloading the required bazel version.
