rules_armadillo

Bazel build rules for Armadillo.

About

Uses rules_foreign_cc to do a CMake configuration, build, and install of Armadillo from source. This allows the user to include @armadillo in the deps argument in project BUILD files. See the examples folder for a simple example.

This leverages rules_openblas to first install OpenBLAS and enables LAPACK support for Armadillo.

For usage see the instructions with the latest release.

Tested

• Windows 10
• Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS

Troubleshooting

If the CMake configuration or build encounters any errors I recommend:

• Checking the CMake.log under $(GENDIR)/armadillo_foreign_cc for any errors. Use bazel info --show_make_env if you are unsure of GENDIR.
• Then, clone this repository.
• Replace the http_archive function with a local_repository function pointing to the cloned repo in WORKSPACE.
• Adjust the cmake rule in BUILD with custom settings for your system.

Future

• I'd like to expose options for the user to have more control over the cmake rule. For now, you are limited to default options.
• Expand portability to a broader range of systems and environments.
