Proposal Progress: secp256k1 may break the build

Thanks for all the supporters for Proposal: Fixing Steemd Build Dependencies in the Latest OS

Progress Update

I've pushed a commit yesterday to https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/3700
However, I found out the local builds fail strangely on building secp256k1:

Here are some errors:

make -j2 Consolidate compiler generated dependencies of target equihash [ 1%] Built target project_secp256k1 [ 1%] Built target equihash make[2]: *** No rule to make target '../libraries/fc/vendor/secp256k1-zkp/.libs/libsecp256k1.a', needed by 'libraries/fc/CMakeFiles/secp256k1_build'. Stop. make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1563: libraries/fc/CMakeFiles/secp256k1_build.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

I've carefully checked my changes and none of them seem related to this failure.

It seems related to the local cmake cache
