bazel-example-cpp

An example project demonstrating bazel build rules for C++ with a local binary (cc_binary) and a local library (cc_library), a remote library (git_repository) and a bare library (new_git_repository + cc_library).

$ git clone https://github.com/laramiel/bazel-example-cpp.git
$ cd bazel-example-cpp

$ bazel run :hello

$ bazel run :local
$ bazel run :remote
$ bazel run :bare

$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ bazel run //submodule:bare
$ bazel run //submodule:remote

Explanation

This repository works in conjunction with other git repositories to provide a demonstration of Bazel BUILD rules for golang.

• bazel-example-cpp
  The main repository, demonstrating binary, local, and remote repository usage.

• bazel-example-cpp-remote
  An example remote repository which includes Bazel rules.

• bazel-example-cpp-bare An example remote repository without any Bazel rules.

Each of the remote repositories is linked into cc_binary() targets in several ways:

1. Using the WORKSPACE file to define git_repository() rules. This accounts for the :remote and :bare targets.

2. Using git submodules to import the repository source, and using those paths. This accounts for the //submodule:bare and //submodule:remote targets.
