This repository is an example of how to use Bazel to build a C++ project on Buildkite.

Note: this example assumes you've already installed Bazel on your Buildkite Agent.

The empty WORKSPACE file marks the directory as a Bazel workspace, and the main/BUILD contains the Bazel build targets.

The Buildkite pipeline.yml file tells Bazel to build the hello-world target in main/BUILD:

steps:
  - label: ":bazel: Build"
    commands:
      - bazel build //main:hello-world

The hello-world target uses the Bazelcc_binary rule to build a hello-world executable from the source file hello-world.cc.

If you want to test the result by running the resulting binary, add the following line to your copy of the Pipeline:

        - bazel-bin/main/hello-world
