rules_7zip
This repository adds 7zip support for your bazel projects. If you want to just use the 7zip executable then you can access it as @7zip//:7za or use the pkg_7z rule.
Installation
Add this to your WORKSPACE:
http_archive(
name = "rules_7zip",
strip_prefix = "rules_7zip-e00b15d3cb76b78ddc1c15e7426eb1d1b7ddaa3e",
urls = ["https://github.com/zaucy/rules_7zip/archive/e00b15d3cb76b78ddc1c15e7426eb1d1b7ddaa3e.zip"],
sha256 = "fd9e99f6ccb9e946755f9bc444abefbdd1eedb32c372c56dcacc7eb486aed178",
)
load("@rules_7zip//:setup.bzl", "setup_7zip")
setup_7zip()Rules
Similar to pkg_* rules in rules_pkg except the package is created with 7-zip.
load("@rules_7zip//:defs.bzl", "pkg_7z")
pkg_7z(name)Similar to http_archive except the archive will be extracted with 7zip. This enables you to fetch and extract .7z, .exe, .msi, or other 7-zip supported archives that http_archive does not support.
load("@rules_7zip//:defs.bzl", "http_7z")
http_7z(name)How it works
7zip pre-built binaries are used on windows and p7zip is downloaded and compiles on all other platforms. Regardless of the platform you use rules_7zip you will be able to run and utilise @7zip//:7z and @7zip//:7za.
On Windows
- Downloads 7zip 19.00 MSI installer
- Extracts 7zip with msiexec.exe
- Downloads 7zip 19.00 extras
- Extract 7zip extras with previously extracted 7zip
Now you can use 7zip 19.00!
On POSIX
- Download and extract p7zip source
- Setup bazel build files in order for it to be compiled
Now you can use p7zip 16.02!
