Passing GN command line arguments to dependant BUILD.gn files

Question

I'm trying to compile WebRTC M85 with OpenSSL and I have to edit some BUILD.gn files to modify hard-coded dependencies to BoringSSL.

The command line is something like (simplified) :

gn gen "intermediate/" --args="target_cpu=\"x64\" rtc_build_ssl=false rtc_ssl_root=\"path/to/openssl/include\""

But when it runs I receive this error :

ERROR at //third_party/libsrtp/BUILD.gn:118:7: Undefined identifier
if (rtc_build_ssl) {
  ^------------
See //pc/BUILD.gn:135:15: which caused the file to be included.
deps += [ "//third_party/libsrtp" ]

The code in third_party/libsrtp/BUILD.gn :

static_library("libsrtp") {
 
  ...
  if (rtc_build_ssl) {
      public_deps += [ "//third_party/boringssl:boringssl" ]
  }
}

third_party/libsrtp/BUILD.gn is called via pc/BUILD.gn :

rtc_library("rtc_pc_base") {
    visibility = [ "*" ]
    ...

    if (rtc_build_libsrtp) {
      deps += [ "//third_party/libsrtp" ]
    }
}

And pc/BUILD.gn is loaded directly in the root BUILD.gn :

if (!build_with_chromium) {
  # Target to build all the WebRTC production code.
  rtc_static_library("webrtc") {

    deps = [
      ":webrtc_common",
      "api:create_peerconnection_factory",
      ...
      "pc:libjingle_peerconnection",
      "pc:peerconnection",
      "pc:rtc_pc",
      "pc:rtc_pc_base",
      "rtc_base",
      ...
    ]
  }
}

So it seems that the argument rtc_build_ssl, that is working everywhere else in BUILD.gn files is not populated to this third_party/libsrtp/BUILD.gn

I'm not familiar to GN files, is there something to add in order the arguments to stay defined in sub-included files ?

what is your version？I fail to build webrtc with openssl in m86, m96. you can change the ninjia file in the out//obj/third_party/libsrtp.ninjia. I have this kind error in the link for the application in example.

root@ubuntu:~/webrtc/webrtc-checkout/src$ gn gen out/Release --args="is_debug=false use_custom_libcxx=false use_sysroot=false rtc_include_tests=false rtc_build_ssl=false rtc_builtin_ssl_root_certificates=false rtc_ssl_root=\"/usr/include\""
Done. Made 1116 targets from 268 files in 623ms
