Problem with OpenSSL when trying to build sdk for Android

[protsenko85]

Describe the bug

I am using to build with ninja using arguments:
cmake ../aws-sdk-cpp -DNDK_DIR="C:\Users\prots\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\21.4.7075529" -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -GNinja -DENABLE_TESTING=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCUSTOM_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT=ON -DTARGET_ARCH=ANDROID -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=21 -DBUILD_ONLY="identity-management;s3"

and receiving some problem with OpenSSL:

`[0/1] Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:54 (file):
  file cannot create directory: C:/Program Files
  (x86)/aws-cpp-sdk-all/external-install/zlib/lib.  Maybe need administrative
  privileges.

I had issue Failed to configure dependency libraries. previously but i fixed this with solution: #2452 (comment)

But for this I can't find a solution. Can someone help me?

Hello @protsenko85 ,

Thank you very much for your submission.

First, I see that you encounter

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:54 (file):
file cannot create directory: C:/Program Files
(x86)/aws-cpp-sdk-all/external-install/zlib/lib. Maybe need administrative
privileges.

Have you attempted to use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as suggested by the blogpost linked in your submission: https://aws.amazon.com/ru/blogs/developer/setting-up-an-android-application-with-aws-sdk-for-c/ ?

Best,

Yasmine

Yeah, I tried to use [CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX], but it doen't change anything
Maybe need administrative privileges. error was caused by the fact that I started the command prompt without administrator privileges. Now i fixed it and there is no error

Now i'm using cmake command
cmake ../aws-sdk-cpp -DNDK_DIR="C:\Users\prots\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\21.4.7075529" -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -G "Ninja" -DENABLE_TESTING=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCUSTOM_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT=ON -DTARGET_ARCH=ANDROID -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=21 -DBUILD_ONLY="identity-management;s3" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\_Projects\test_proj\install_sdk_android"
and still have error with openSSL:

Hello @protsenko85 ,

Thank you very much for your response.

Yes, the suggestion was to use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to change path of installation and resolve the Maybe need administrative privilege issue.
Now that this is resolved, the first FAILED: CMakeFiles/install.util cmd.exe /C "cd /D C:\_Projects\test-proj\build_sdk_android\external-build\ZLIB-prefix\src\ZLIB-build && "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" -P cmake_install.cmake" ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. doesn't occur.

For the second issue encountered here that is FAILED: OPENSSL-prefix/src/OPENSSL-stamp/OPENSSL-patch C:/_Projects/test-proj/build_sdk_android/external-build/OPENSSL-prefix/src/OPENSSL-stamp/OPENSSL-patch cmd.exe /C "cd /D C:\_Projects\test-proj\build_sdk_android\openssl-src && cd C:/_Projects/test-proj/build_sdk_android/external-build && python C:/_Projects/test-proj/aws-sdk-cpp/tools/android-build/configure_openssl_cmake.py --source C:/_Projects/test-proj/aws-sdk-cpp --dest C:/_Projects/test-proj/build_sdk_android/openssl-src && "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" -E touch C:/_Projects/test-proj/build_sdk_android/external-build/OPENSSL-prefix/src/OPENSSL-stamp/OPENSSL-patch" Python unfortunately, this is a known existing bug which is currently in the team's backlog (see).

The current known work around is to revert to use v1.8.186 of the AWS CPP SDK.

I will mark this issue as a duplicate of #1946 and bring this item up for discussion with the team.

Thank you very much for your feedback and collaboration.

Let me know if the current workaround works for you or if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Yasmine
