+Usage on Windows
+When using on Windows, you should start Bazel in MSYS2 shell, as the shell script inside cmake assumes this. +Also, you should explicitly specify make commands and option to generate CMake crosstool file.
+The default generator for CMake will be detected automatically, or you can specify it explicitly.
+The tested generators: Visual Studio 15, Ninja and NMake.
+The extension .lib
is assumed for the static libraries by default.
Example usage (see full example in ./examples/cmake_hello_world_lib
):
+Example assumes that MS Visual Studio and Ninja are installed on the host machine, and Ninja bin directory is added to PATH.

+Release | Commit | Status |
---|---|---|
0.9.0 | 8d54060 |
Rules ForeignCc is designed to help users build projects that are not built by Bazel and also +not fully under their control (ie: large and mature open source software). These rules provide +a mechanism to build these external projects within Bazel's sandbox environment using a variety +of C/C++ build systems to be later consumed by other rules as though they were normal cc +rules.
+To use the ForeignCc build rules, add the following content to your WORKSPACE file:
+load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
+
+http_archive(
+ name = "rules_foreign_cc",
+ # TODO: Get the latest sha256 value from a bazel debug message or the latest

+Please note that there are many different configuration options for +rules_foreign_cc_dependencies +which offer more control over the toolchains used during the build phase. Please see +that macro's documentation for more details.
