buildbuddy-toolchain's Introduction

BuildBuddy RBE Toolchain

Currently supports Linux C/C++ (including CGO) & Java builds on Ubuntu 16.04.

Usage instructions

Add the following lines to your WORKSPACE file. You'll probably want to pin your version to a specific commit rather than master.

http_archive(
    name = "io_buildbuddy_buildbuddy_toolchain",
    sha256 = "a2a5cccec251211e2221b1587af2ce43c36d32a42f5d881737db3b546a536510",
    strip_prefix = "buildbuddy-toolchain-829c8a574f706de5c96c54ca310f139f4acda7dd",
    urls = ["https://github.com/buildbuddy-io/buildbuddy-toolchain/archive/829c8a574f706de5c96c54ca310f139f4acda7dd.tar.gz"],
)

load("@io_buildbuddy_buildbuddy_toolchain//:deps.bzl", "buildbuddy_deps")

buildbuddy_deps()

load("@io_buildbuddy_buildbuddy_toolchain//:rules.bzl", "buildbuddy")

buildbuddy(name = "buildbuddy_toolchain")

Now you can use the toolchain in your BuildBuddy RBE builds. For example:

bazel build server --remote_executor=cloud.buildbuddy.io --crosstool_top=@buildbuddy_toolchain//:toolchain

If you need Java 8 support, you just need to add a few more flags:

--javabase=@buildbuddy_toolchain//:javabase_jdk8
--host_javabase=@buildbuddy_toolchain//:javabase_jdk8
--java_toolchain=@buildbuddy_toolchain//:toolchain_jdk8

Coming soon

Ubuntu 18.04, and Darwin (Mac) support are on our roadmap.

Additional resources

For more advanced use cases, check out Bazel's bazel-toolchains repo and the docs on configuring C++ toolchains.
Many thanks to the team at Grail who's LLVM toolchain repo served as the basis for this repo.
Major props to the team at VSCO who's toolchain repo paved the way for using LLVM as a Bazel toolchain.
