Able to share what OS you’re building this on?

Sounds like a cabal error. Did you put the correct flags in the cabal.project.local file?

package cardano-crypto-praos
  flags: -external-libsodium-vrf

Also running the correct version of cabal 3.6.2.0? Here’s a github post about it but doesn’t have a solid solution. Do you have multiple cabal files in one directory?

OS ubuntu

version of cabal
cabal -V
cabal-install version 3.6.2.0
compiled using version 3.6.2.0 of the Cabal library

this is what worked for me

echo "package cardano-crypto-praos" >> cabal.project.local
echo "  flags: -external-libsodium-vrf" >> cabal.project.local
echo "with-compiler: ghc-8.10.7" >> cabal.project.local

but now i have new error msg

cabal: Cannot build the package cardano-ping, it is not in this project
(either directly or indirectly). If you want to add it to the project then
edit the cabal.project file.

When I had strange errors, removing or renaming the ~/.cabal folder (from the home of the user used to build cardano-node) and running cabal update, then building again, helped.

Are you running a script that is doing the compiling for you? If so then check the cabal command that it is doing. cardano-ping seems to have been removed from version 1.35.4 whereas it was available to compile in version 1.35.3.

In case anyone is struggling with this issue still, consider changing your cabal build command:

Change this:

cabal update
cabal install exe:cardano-node --overwrite-policy=always --install-method=copy --installdir=/some/path/

To this:

cabal update
cabal build all

Or this:

cabal update
cabal build exe:cardano-node

Hope this helps.

Edit: Interestingly, the cabal install command used to work with 1.35.3 but not 1.35.4 or 1.35.5.
