Build Failure During `make all` and `make bootstrapper`

Issue: Build Failure During make all and make bootstrapper

Description

I encountered a build failure while attempting to compile the project using both the make all and make bootstrapper commands. Below are the detailed outputs from the terminal:

Output from make all:

Output from make bootstrapper:

No target named 'bootstrapper' in the Makefile.

make: *** No rule to make target `bootstrapper’.  Stop.

Environment

• Bazelisk version: 1.20.0
• Bazel Version: 7.3.1
• make Version: 3.81

Steps to Reproduce

• Clone the repository.
• Run the command make all and make bootstrapper in the project root.

Additional Information

• I have not modified any of the build files.

Thank you @LivingXu for providing all the relevant details 👍

Here are the points which stuck out:

Environment
Operating System: macOS Sonoma V14.6(23G80)

Steps to Reproduce
Run the command make all and make bootstrapper in the project root.

Please note, from the README.md:
https://github.com/netsec-ethz/bootstrapper?tab=readme-ov-file#building

Experimental availability is also provided for macOS and Windows. Run make darwin [...]

Does the build succeed if you follow the instruction in the README?

Is there any particular reason you want / need to build with Bazel?
As mentioned, on macOS, we provide a separate build target where we directly build with the go tool, since we do not provide packaging for that platform.

We could add feature detection / OS detection to the main make targets. Would that satisfy your use case?
The reason for providing separate targets for the OSes with experimental support was to enable easy cross-compiling.
Is your goal to cross-compile for linux from a macOS host?
