Of course all the traditionals are on the list like cmake, meson and others, but we're also looking at Bazel from Google. All in all, Bazel seems like a nice construction tool, but I noticed that there's not even one package in Buildroot that compiles with Bazel and I wanted to know if we missed something. Is someone here familiar with this build system and can elaborate more details on Bazel in the embedded world and specifically in Buildroot?

First of all I am not an expert, but I have some thoughts about this:) It looks like bazel is a Java application ? if so, then there will one more (I think big) dependency like Java on the host to build the bazel's packages, or it may be built by openjdk buildroot's package (which is not merged yet). Actually, bazel packages support might be added for local usages only. Anyway it is better if some of the buildroot experts can answer this question.

I think too it would require a non-trivial change. I'll be happy to hear from other Buildroot experts too. Thanks, Asaf. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The big question is: does Bazal support cross-compilation? If it does, using Bazel for building in Buildroot should be easy enough. >>> >>> Regards, >>> Asaf. >> >> First of all I am not an expert, but I have some thoughts about this:) >> >> It looks like bazel is a Java application ? if so, then there will one >> more (I think big) dependency like Java on the host to build the bazel's >> packages, or it may be built by openjdk buildroot's package (which is We can have conditionals in dependencies.sh.

We typically start with creating a few packages that use the build system before creating infra for it. And in some cases we simply don't create infra, e.g. for qmake.
