Bazel

Saw this being used a lot in Open Source projects when I was working at Blackberry QNX.

Might as well learn it. Refer to https://bazel.build/.

Note: dazel = bazel + Docker

Resources:

• https://bazel.build/start/cpp
• What’s Bazel? Why should you care?- (really good intro)
• https://awesomebazel.com/
• https://bazel.build/tutorials/cpp-use-cases#adding-dependencies-on-precompiled-libraries

Some counterpoints on why Bazel is trash:

• https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32828584

Use cases:

• Building Real-time Systems with Bazel w/ SpaceX

Main components

• BUILD
• WORKSPACE
• .bazelrc

The build file will tell you the dependencies?
