rules_foreign_cc

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://bazelbuild.github.io/rules_foreign_cc/

Bazel versions compatibility

Works with Bazel after 4.0.0.

The following flags are required in Bazel 4.x but not Bazel 5.x or newer:

• --experimental_enable_aggregating_middleman=False

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.

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
