Bazel

We use bazel for the C++ part (in the future possibly for everything). Therefore we installed bazelisk, for more reference see here: https://bazel.build/install/bazelisk https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/blob/master/README.md

After installation check its correct install via

bazelisk version

Create a ~/.bazelrc:

# If you wish cross-workspace caching.
build --disk_cache=/home/<USER>/.bazelcache

# Limit the resources that Bazel is allowed to use.
# This prevents the PC from freezing because Bazel uses everything.
build --local_resources=cpu=HOST_CPUS-4
build --local_resources=memory=HOST_RAM*.6

# Use colors in GCC output.
build --copt=-fdiagnostics-color=always

Then you can

bazelisk build ...                      # Builds everything
bazelisk build //path/to/package        # Builds a specific target 

bazelisk query '...'                    # Shows all targets
bazelisk query '//cpp/...'              # Shows targets in cpp

bazelisk run //your/target:target_name  # Run the target
bazelisk test //your/target:target_name # Run the test
