The BAZEL synchronization method populates a Helix QAC project based upon an existing local Bazel build. Ensure you have Bazel installed and can perform a build, using a command such as:
This should be done in a Bazel workspace directory.
Limitations
- We do not support remote execution, it exclusively facilitates local builds which must have been done before this command is used.
- Only files in this Bazel project are added to the Helix QAC project. Any 3rd party dependencies downloaded during the build will not be added to the Helix QAC project.
- We support the default mnemonics for building C/C++.
- Custom mnemonics are supported via explicit options
‑‑custom‑mnemonics|‑m - We do not monitor other build systems, such as make or CMake, invoked by Bazel. For such scenarios, consider using INJECT as your synchronization method.
- Testing has been limited to MSVC, GNU and Clang based compilers. Other compilers may produce less desirable results.
- The default compiler that Bazel uses on Windows is clang-cl which is not supported for CCT generation.
The following command will synchronize the Bazel project residing in the current directory with the Helix QAC project which is also in the current directory:
