## Building CMake projects
- Build libraries/binaries with CMake from sources using cmake rule
- Use cmake targets in [cc_library][ccl], [cc_binary][ccb] targets as dependency
- Bazel [cc_toolchain][cct] parameters are used inside cmake build
- See full list of cmake arguments below 'example'
- cmake is defined in `./tools/build_defs`
- Works on Ubuntu, Mac OS and Windows(\* see special notes below in Windows section) operating systems
**Example:**
(Please see full examples in ./examples)
The example for **Windows** is below, in the section 'Usage on Windows'.
- In `WORKSPACE.bazel`, we use a `http_archive` to download tarballs with the libraries we use.
- In `BUILD.bazel`, we instantiate a `cmake` rule which behaves similarly to a [cc_library][ccl], which can then be used in a C++ rule ([cc_binary][ccb] in this case).
In `WORKSPACE.bazel`, put
```python
workspace(name = "rules_foreign_cc_usage_example")
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
# Rule repository, note that it's recommended to use a pinned commit to a released version of the rules
http_archive(
name = "rules_foreign_cc",
sha256 = "c2cdcf55ffaf49366725639e45dedd449b8c3fe22b54e31625eb80ce3a240f1e",
strip_prefix = "rules_foreign_cc-0.1.0",
url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_foreign_cc/archive/0.1.0.zip",
)
load("@rules_foreign_cc//foreign_cc:repositories.bzl", "rules_foreign_cc_dependencies")
# This sets up some common toolchains for building targets. For more details, please see
# https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_foreign_cc/tree/main/docs#rules_foreign_cc_dependencies

filegroup(
name = "all_srcs",
srcs = glob(["**"]),
visibility = ["//visibility:public"],

# pcre source code repository
http_archive(
name = "pcre",
build_file_content = _ALL_CONTENT,
strip_prefix = "pcre-8.43",
urls = [
"https://mirror.bazel.build/ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/pcre-8.43.tar.gz",

)
```
And in the `BUILD.bazel` file, put:
```python
load("@rules_foreign_cc//foreign_cc:defs.bzl", "cmake")
cmake(
name = "pcre",
cache_entries = {
"CMAKE_C_FLAGS": "-fPIC",
},
lib_source = "@pcre//:all_srcs",
out_static_libs = ["libpcre.a"],
)
```
then build as usual:
```bash
bazel build //:pcre
```
**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.
```python
cmake(
# expect to find ./lib/hello.lib as the result of the build
name = "hello",
# This option can be omitted
generate_args = [
"-G \"Visual Studio 15 2017\"",
"-A Win64",
],
lib_source = ":srcs",
)
cmake(
name = "hello_ninja",
# expect to find ./lib/hello.lib as the result of the build
lib_name = "hello",
# explicitly specify the generator
generate_args = ["-GNinja"],
lib_source = ":srcs",
)
cmake(
name = "hello_nmake",
# explicitly specify the generator
generate_args = ["-G \"NMake Makefiles\""],
lib_source = ":srcs",
# expect to find ./lib/hello.lib as the result of the build
out_static_libs = ["hello.lib"],
)
```

# Rules ForeignCc
Rules for building C/C++ projects using foreign build systems (non Bazel) inside Bazel projects.
## Overview
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][cc]
rules.
[cc]: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/c-cpp.html
## Setup
To use the ForeignCc build rules, add the following content to your WORKSPACE file:
```python
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
name = "rules_foreign_cc",
sha256 = "d54742ffbdc6924f222d2179f0e10e911c5c659c4ae74158e9fe827aad862ac6",
strip_prefix = "rules_foreign_cc-0.2.0",
url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_foreign_cc/archive/0.2.0.tar.gz",
)
load("@rules_foreign_cc//foreign_cc:repositories.bzl", "rules_foreign_cc_dependencies")
rules_foreign_cc_dependencies()
```
Please note that there are many different configuration options for
[rules_foreign_cc_dependencies](./flatten.md#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.
## Rules
- [cmake](./cmake.md)
- [configure_make](./configure_make.md)
- [make](./make.md)
- [ninja](./ninja.md)
For additional rules/macros/providers, see the [full API in one page](./flatten.md).

""" Defines the rule for building external library with CMake """# CMake
## Building CMake projects
- Build libraries/binaries with CMake from sources using cmake rule
- Use cmake targets in [cc_library][ccl], [cc_binary][ccb] targets as dependency
- Bazel [cc_toolchain][cct] parameters are used inside cmake build
- See full list of cmake arguments below 'example'
- cmake is defined in `./tools/build_defs`
- Works on Ubuntu, Mac OS and Windows(\\* see special notes below in Windows section) operating systems
**Example:**
(Please see full examples in ./examples)
The example for **Windows** is below, in the section 'Usage on Windows'.
- In `WORKSPACE.bazel`, we use a `http_archive` to download tarballs with the libraries we use.
- In `BUILD.bazel`, we instantiate a `cmake` rule which behaves similarly to a [cc_library][ccl], which can then be used in a C++ rule ([cc_binary][ccb] in this case).
In `WORKSPACE.bazel`, put

```
**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.
```python
cmake(
# expect to find ./lib/hello.lib as the result of the build
name = "hello",
# This option can be omitted
generate_args = [
"-G \\"Visual Studio 15 2017\\"",
"-A Win64",
],
lib_source = ":srcs",
)
cmake(
name = "hello_ninja",
# expect to find ./lib/hello.lib as the result of the build
lib_name = "hello",
# explicitly specify the generator
generate_args = ["-GNinja"],
lib_source = ":srcs",
)
cmake(
name = "hello_nmake",
# explicitly specify the generator
generate_args = ["-G \\"NMake Makefiles\\""],
lib_source = ":srcs",
# expect to find ./lib/hello.lib as the result of the build
out_static_libs = ["hello.lib"],
)
