Error when building project: `vardef` is not defined

[shubham0204]

Following the installation commands defined in the Dockerfile, I am trying to build this project with Bazel. On running,

sudo bazel build //...

in project's root, I get the following error,

Starting local Bazel server (8.1.1) and connecting to it...

• Bazel not finding varref and vardef  google/nearby#828
• --host_javabase option expects a label and is non portable bazelbuild/bazel#6012

System Information

• JDK: OpenJDK 21
• Android SDK level 30, Android NDK r28

Happy to provide information. I would also be glad if the repo-owners can include a 'Build Source' section in the README.
