Trouble building the fast pair library

[Thomas-Campion-Bose]

I am attempting to build the fastpair library on Windows, but am having issues with the bazel build system. There doesn't seem to be much documentation on how to build each of the packages. Some clarification would be greatly appreciated!

When attempting to build all the targets in fastpair package I get this output. I ran git submodule update --init --recursive in order to pull in all the third party deps. There is no reference to the magic_enum in any of the source other than the retroactive source, not in any of the third party dependencies/ git submodules etc.

Please advise on how to proceed. Thanks

I attempted to build it on WSL Fedora. I received a different error but a similar issue, with reference to non-existing source.

I am able to build the connections library for Linux however, by following the README.

I made more progress by removing some referenced but un-resolvable source in the BUILD files, the diff is below. Still isn't building, stuck on GenProto command failure.

Hi @Thomas-Campion-Bose, it looks like the imports in the fastpair proto files aren’t correct. Try removing “third_party/nearby” from the beginning of the imports.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any GitHub actions for testing the fastpair build, so the GitHub code is prone to breaking. If you are able to get this building successfully, let me know and I can make the necessary changes and add a test to keep this package more stable in the future :)

[Thomas-Campion-Bose]

Hi @bourdakos1, I appreciate the prompt response. I think a few libraries/tests within fast pair are broken. I have documented a list of targets below that require non-trivial fixes (i.e. removal of auth manager, but continued usage). I have attached the output from the failing builds along with the current diff I have on my local branch.

1. fast_pair_service/test, makes reference to authentication manager and account managers that seem to have been removed from the source.
2. fast_pair_controller, lots of little issues, also an issue with the logging macros in absl referencing undefined macros. May need a whole logging overhaul
3. fast_pair_seeker, builds after fixing
