|
|
|
|
**Rules for building C/C++ projects using foreign build systems inside Bazel projects.**
|
|
|
|
This is **not an officially supported Google product**
|
|
(meaning, support and/or new releases may be limited.)
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
Documentation for all rules and providers are available at: https://bazel-contrib.github.io/rules_foreign_cc/
|
|
|
|
## Bazel versions compatibility
|
|
|
|
Works with Bazel after 5.4.0.
|
|
|
|
Note that the rules may be compatible with older versions of Bazel but support may break
|
|
in future changes as these older versions are not tested.
|
|
|
|
Note also that the `runnable_binary` macro requires bazel 5.4.0, for the `rlocationpath` [path
|
|
variable](https://bazel.build/reference/be/make-variables)
|

## Caveats
|
|
|
|
* FreeBSD support is currently experimental and on a best-effort basis.
|
|
Google currently doesn't have a CI test environment for FreeBSD,
|
|
but please make your voice heard by upvoting this
|
|
[issue](https://github.com/bazelbuild/continuous-integration/issues/258).
