# Bazel support
|
|
|
|
To get [Bazel](https://bazel.build/) working with {fmt} you can copy the files `BUILD.bazel`, `WORKSPACE.bazel`, `.bazelrc`, and `.bazelversion` from this folder (`support/bazel`) to the root folder of this project. This way {fmt} gets bazelized and can be used with Bazel (e.g. doing a `bazel build //...` on {fmt}).
|
|
|
|
## Using {fmt} as a dependency
|
|
|
|
The following minimal example shows how to use {fmt} as a dependency within a Bazel project.
|
|
|
|
The following file structure is assumed:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
example
|
|
├── BUILD.bazel
|
|
├── main.cpp
|
|
└── WORKSPACE.bazel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*main.cpp*:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "fmt/core.h"
|
|
|
|
int main() {
|
|
fmt::print("The answer is {}\n", 42);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The expected output of this example is `The answer is 42`.
|
|
|
|
*WORKSPACE.bazel*:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:git.bzl", "git_repository")
|
|
|
|
git_repository(
|
|
name = "fmt",
|
|
branch = "master",
|
|
remote = "https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt",
|
|
patch_cmds = [
|
|
"mv support/bazel/.bazelrc .bazelrc",
|
|
"mv support/bazel/.bazelversion .bazelversion",
|
|
"mv support/bazel/BUILD.bazel BUILD.bazel",
|
|
"mv support/bazel/WORKSPACE.bazel WORKSPACE.bazel",
|
|
],
|
|
# Windows-related patch commands are only needed in the case MSYS2 is not installed.
|
|
# More details about the installation process of MSYS2 on Windows systems can be found here:
|
|
# https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/install-windows.html#installing-compilers-and-language-runtimes
|
|
# Even if MSYS2 is installed the Windows related patch commands can still be used.
|
|
patch_cmds_win = [
|
|
"Move-Item -Path support/bazel/.bazelrc -Destination .bazelrc",
|
|
"Move-Item -Path support/bazel/.bazelversion -Destination .bazelversion",
|
|
"Move-Item -Path support/bazel/BUILD.bazel -Destination BUILD.bazel",
|
|
"Move-Item -Path support/bazel/WORKSPACE.bazel -Destination WORKSPACE.bazel",
|
|
],
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the *WORKSPACE* file, the {fmt} GitHub repository is fetched. Using the attribute `patch_cmds` the files `BUILD.bazel`, `WORKSPACE.bazel`, `.bazelrc`, and `.bazelversion` are moved to the root of the {fmt} repository. This way the {fmt} repository is recognized as a bazelized workspace.
|
|
|
|
*BUILD.bazel*:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
cc_binary(
|
|
name = "Demo",
|
|
srcs = ["main.cpp"],
|
|
deps = ["@fmt"],
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The *BUILD* file defines a binary named `Demo` that has a dependency to {fmt}.
|
|
|
|
To execute the binary you can run `bazel run //:Demo`.
