A collection of Bazel C++ build infrastructure based on Chromium's LLVM toolchain. There are tags corresponding to Chromium releases. The build targets currently supported are Linux x64 and macOS. As in Chromium, the Linux toolchain has a sysroot, bundled copies of binutils, and a copy of libc++. The macOS build is less hermetic, and relies on system binutils and libraries.
Use it in your Bazel WORKSPACE file like this:
git_repository(
name = 'co_vsco_bazel_toolchains',
remote = 'https://github.com/vsco/bazel-toolchains',
tag = 'v64.0.3282.167',
)
load("@co_vsco_bazel_toolchains//toolchains:repositories.bzl", "bazel_toolchains_repositories")
bazel_toolchains_repositories()
Invoke Bazel with the custom toolchain:
bazel build --crosstool_top=@co_vsco_bazel_toolchains//tools/cpp:default-toolchain //your/build:target
vsco/bazel-toolchains
is tested against the following build matrix:
Bazel Version | OSX | Linux |
---|---|---|
0.20.0+ | ✗ | ✗ |
0.19.2 | ✓ | ✓ |
0.18.1 | ✓ | ✓ |
0.17.2 | ✓ | ✓ |
0.16.1 | ✓ | ✓ |
0.15.2 | ✓ | ✓ |
0.14.1 | ✓ | ✓ |
0.13.1 | ✓ | ✓ |
0.12.0 | ✓ | ✓ |
✗ | ✗ | |
✗ | ✗ | |
✗ | ✗ |
Builds beyond the listed versions are not currently tested.
Bazel 0.20.0+
introduced breaking changes to the C++ Toolchain API
which need to be addressed for consumers of this repo in a non-breaking manner.
On macOS, run xcode-select --install
in Terminal.
The files in the scripts/
directory are written in Python. Follow these
instructions
to install a version of Python that comes with the necessary tools for installation of third party libraries. On macOS,
this means brew install python
, and then following the instructions printed by brew info python
(It's recommended to use python@2
for macOS).
Once that's working, type pip install requests
to install the necessary dependencies.
From the root of this repository, type python scripts/generate_workspace.py --rev="64.0.3282.167"
where --rev is the
Chromium tag you wish to pull from. The script will print status messages to stderr
and write a file similar to
toolchains/repositories.bzl to stdout
.
