Thanks for this new iteration. However, it's a pity that you didn't reuse any of the improvements I had, and which I suggested you to re-use for your next iteration.

So, I redid the same changes, and also improved the description of 0001-target-build-using-host-plugin.patch which was really not sufficient.

Here is the list of changes I did:

[Thomas:
- add missing Config.in dependencies inherited from BR2_PACKAGE_PROTOBUF, as well as the corresponding Config.in comment
- replace spaces by tabs in grpc.mk indentation
- remove superfluous GRPC_SOURCE variable
- improved patch description.]

After those changes, I applied this patch to next. Thanks for your contribution!

Itr also seems that grpc would somehow need gflags:

CMake Warning at cmake/gflags.cmake:26 (message):
gRPC_GFLAGS_PROVIDER is "module" but GFLAGS_ROOT_DIR is wrong

That's because the built-in copy of gflags is missing (good!) as it is managed by a git submodule, and those are not retrieved when using the github macro (good!). So, maybe extend HOST_GRPC_CONF_OPTS with:

gRPC_GFLAGS_PROVIDER=none

Alternatively, you could make the existing gflags package a host package, and use that?

Additionally, there is a similar issue with the 'benchmark' package:

CMake Warning at cmake/benchmark.cmake:26 (message):
gRPC_BENCHMARK_PROVIDER is "module" but BENCHMARK_ROOT_DIR is wrong

We don't have a benchmark package in Buildroot, so maybe extend HOST_GRPC_CONF_OPTS with:

gRPC_BENCHMARK_PROVIDER=none

Note that thes two issues should probably be also checked for, and fixed for the target variant of grpc too.

Finally, we do have a bunch of autobuild failures:

    http://autobuild.buildroot.org/?reason=host-grpc-v1.16.1

Care to have a look, please?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Finally, we do have a bunch of autobuild failures:

    http://autobuild.buildroot.org/?reason=host-grpc-v1.16.1

I was able to reproduce this in a non-sandboxed environment and it looks like the "grpc_cpp_plugin" app is outputting that error, not the 'protoc' part of the command.

Output
----------------------
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
what(): Unknown error -1
Aborted (core dumped)

A quick strace and gdb run didn't get me much further. It looks like the libstdc++ is maybe having a memory allocation issue but I'll have to work on getting more debug symbols (sort of a messy point to debug when between host machine and buildroot host package builds).
