Android Studio ERROR: Cause: executing external native build for cmake /path/to/project/app/tools/CMakeLists.txt

Issue

I have downloaded WireGuard from Github (link) after run app by android studio I have this error:

ERROR: Cause: executing external native build for cmake  /path/to/project/app/tools/CMakeLists.txt

and android_gradle_generate_cmake_ninja_json_x86.stderr.txt show this:

    CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:11 (add_executable):
    Cannot find source file:

    wireguard-tools/src/wg-quick/android.c

    Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp
    .hxx .in .txx


    CMake Error: CMake can not determine linker language for target: libwg-quick.so

wireguard-tools folder is empty. maybe it's content must build by cmake from CMakeLists.txt. I don't understand cmake. CMakeLists.txt content is:

project structure:

i'm using Android studio 3.5.3 and gradle 5.4.1 in ubuntu 18.04. NDK(side by side) , LLDB and CMake also installed. however I see this warning(not error) in event log : NDK Resolution Outcome: Project settings: Gradle model version=5.4.1, NDK version is UNKNOWN in all projects. even those that not using ndk. in local.properties I defined :

ndk.dir=/home/hadi/Dev/Android/android-sdk/ndk/21.0.6113669
sdk.dir=/home/hadi/Dev/Android/android-sdk

Can anyone help me?

Solution

this repository have some sub modules and must clone with extra options. as in readme file in github page mentioned, I must clone project by these commands:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-android
$ cd wireguard-android
$ ./gradlew assembleRelease
