I'm trying to compile boringssl libraries so that I could use it in an Android project (building on Ubuntu 18.04). I'm following the build steps from this link.
amy@test-ubuntu18:~/android_test/boringssl/build$ cmake -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${ANDROID_NDK}/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=21 -GNinja ..
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:14 (enable_language):
The CMAKE_C_COMPILER:
/home/amy/android_test/android-ndk-r21-beta2/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang
is not a full path to an existing compiler tool.
Here's my env set up:
amy@test-ubuntu18:~/android_test/boringssl/build$ echo $ANDROID_NDK
/home/amy/android_test/android-ndk-r21-beta2
amy@test-ubuntu18:~/android_test/boringssl/build$ echo $CC
/usr/bin/gcc
amy@test-ubuntu18:~/android_test/boringssl/build$ echo $CXX
/usr/bin/g++
And the tools do exist in my /usr/bin
amy@test-ubuntu18:~/android_test/boringssl/build$ ls -l /usr/bin/*g{cc,++}*

Tried the suggestions mentioned in this issue, but of no use.
The error says "/home/amy/android_test/android-ndk-r21-beta2/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang" is not full path, so I checked what's in the path (I don't see the "linux-x86_64" listed in there):
$ls -l /home/amy/android_test/android-ndk-r21-beta2/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/
