# rules_foreign_cc

[![Build status](https://badge.buildkite.com/c28afbf846e2077715c753dda1f4b820cdcc46cc6cde16503c.svg?branch=main)](https://buildkite.com/bazel/rules-foreign-cc?branch=main)

**Rules for building C/C++ projects using foreign build systems inside Bazel projects.**

This is **not an officially supported Google product**
(meaning, support and/or new releases may be limited.)

## Documentation

Documentation for all rules and providers are available at: https://bazelbuild.github.io/rules_foreign_cc/

## Bazel versions compatibility

Works with Bazel after 4.2.0.

The following flags are required in Bazel 4.x but not Bazel 5.x or newer:

- `--experimental_enable_aggregating_middleman=False`

Note that the rules may be compatible with older versions of Bazel but support may break
in future changes as these older versions are not tested.

Note also that the `runnable_binary` macro requires bazel 5.4.0, for the `rlocationpath` [path
variable](https://bazel.build/reference/be/make-variables)

## Caveats

* FreeBSD support is currently experimental and on a best-effort basis.
  Google currently doesn't have a CI test environment for FreeBSD,
  but please make your voice heard by upvoting this
