Open-source bazel build file collection

This contains a set of open source packages configured to build within the bazel (https://bazel.build) build system. Packages include:

• opencv
• ffmpeg (and many codecs)
• gstreamer (and many of its plugins, including X output)
• eigen
• boost
• python
• fmt

Currently supported platforms are x86_64 and armv7.

• travis-ci

Example Usage

In tools/workspace/bazel_deps/repository.bzl

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")


def bazel_deps_repository():
    commit = "XXX"
    http_archive(
        name = "com_github_mjbots_bazel_deps",
        url = "https://github.com/mjbots/bazel_deps/archive/{}.zip".format(commit),
        # Try the following empty sha256 hash first, then replace with whatever
        # bazel says it is looking for once it complains.
        sha256 = "e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855",
        strip_prefix = "bazel_deps-{}".format(commit),
    )

At least an empty tools/workspace/bazel_deps/BUILD is required.

In tools/workspace/default.bzl

load("//tools/workspace/bazel_deps:repository.bzl", "bazel_deps_repository")

def add_default_repositories(excludes = []):
    if "bazel_deps" not in excludes:
        bazel_deps_repository()

At least an empty tools/workspace/BUILD is required.

In WORKSPACE:

load("//tools/workspace:default.bzl", "add_default_repositories")

add_default_repositories()

load("@com_github_mjbots_bazel_deps//tools/workspace:default.bzl",
     bazel_deps_add = "add_default_repositories")
bazel_deps_add()

At this point, each of the relevant packages can be referenced in bazel rules as is typical:

cc_binary(
    name = "my_application",
    deps = ["@ffmpeg"],
)
