* Make cc_toolchain_utils.bzl more reusable
By using getattr, the helper functions in this file can be reused in
rules that do not define all of the framework attributes, e.g. bootstrap
rules.
* Bootstrap make reproducibly on Linux and macOS
Uses the Bazel C/C++ toolchain to bootstrap make and ensure that the
resulting binary contains no absolute and thus non-hermetic paths.
Building make reproducibly helps with remote caching and removes the
dependency on a C compiler installed on the host.
Since 466c32c70f any changes you made
while testing rules_foreign_cc, or changes to those rules, would not
invalidate the CMakeCache.txt and lead to build issues. It wasn't the
case before that because new temp dirs were used each time.
* Refactor _env_prelude method to be public (589)
In an upcoming commit, the method will be used to set the PATH,
INCLUDE and LIB environment variables in Windows when building GNU
Make from source
* Build make from source on Windows (#589)
The built_tools_framework.bzl file was modified so that the PATH,
INCLUDE and LIB environment variables are set from the C++ toolchain,
e.g. MSVC.
The PATH environment variable is prepended with the path to the
toolchain's linker, otherwise the MSYS2 linker would be used instead
of MSVC (as they are both named link.exe).
* Add config for building with spawn_strategy=standalone
* Always build RELEASE configuration to avoid having to select for the output due to change in artifact names for debug builds
* Fix for copy_contents_to_dir and symlink_contents_to_dir on macOS as per #512
* Update name of test files
* Added a new `platform_info` target to the foreign_cc framework
* Update foreign_cc/private/framework/platform.bzl
