This can successfully build a C library:
bazel build --config=clang //third_party:libpng
This can build and run a statically-linked executable:
bazel test --config=clang //:bazel_test
For more verbose compile and linking output, add the
`--features diagnostic`
flag to a Bazel command (see _make_diagnostic_flags() in
toolchain/clang_toolchain_config.bzl. Similarly, a
`--features print_search_dirs` can be used to show where
clang is looking for libraries etc to link against.
These features are made available for easier debugging.
Suggested review order:
- Read https://docs.bazel.build/versions/4.2.1/tutorial/cc-toolchain-config.html
if unfamiliar with setting up C++ toolchains in Bazel
- .bazelrc and WORKSPACE.bazel that configure use and download
of the toolchain (Clang 13, musl 1.2.2)
- toolchain/build_toolchain.bzl which downloads and assembles
the toolchain (w/o installing anything on the host machine)
- toolchain/BUILD.bazel and toolchain/*trampoline.sh to see
the setup of the toolchain rules.
- toolchain/clang_toolchain_config.bzl to see the configuration
of the toolchain. Pay special attention to the various
command line flags that are set.
- See that tools/bazel_test.cc has made a new home in
experimental/bazel_test/bazel_test.cpp, with a companion
BUILD.bazel. Note the addition of some function calls
that test use of the C++ standard library.
The number being used to test the PNG library is the latest
and greatest that verifies we are compiling the one brought
in via DEPS (and not a local one).
- third_party/* to see how png (and its dependent zlib) have
been built. Pay special attention to the musl_compat hack
to fix static linking (any idea what the real cause is?)
- //BUILD.bazel to see definition of the bazel_test executable.
