To include an executable in the PATH using Bazel, you can use the data
attribute in the cc_binary
rule.
For example, if you have a binary called hello
in the src
directory, you can modify your cc_binary
rule in your BUILD
file like this:
cc_binary(
name = "hello",
srcs = ["src/hello.cpp"],
data = [":hello"],
)
In this example, the data
attribute specifies that the hello
binary should be included in the target directory, i.e., the bin
directory created by Bazel when building the target.
To include the binary in the PATH, you can create a shell script that adds the bin
directory to the PATH and then calls the binary. For example:
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/bazel-bin
hello "$@"
Assuming this script is in your PATH
, you can now run the hello
binary from anywhere on your system.
