Comments

I don't really know anything about bazel. I just wanted to add it because anki uses it as build system in the newer updates.

Officially, Java is said to be an optional dependency, however besides bazel --version, nothing really seems to work without java. Should I add it as a dependency? (Might be stupid question, I'm new ;P).

WIP: I'm gonna try to update anki too.

What package are you going to build with bazel?

Edit: I see, anki. If you want to include anki in this PR (with a separate commit), I think that'd be reasonable. And yes, make bazel depend on openjdk11.

I have attempted this in the past. Your bazel template looks sane.

Bazel is not sane. Neither is anki, has a stupid mix of nodejs, bazel, python and rust.

Here's my template thus far, not for the latest version yet:

Haven't worked on it for a while.

Cross is still broken IIRC. Mutlicore building is broken last I checked. Musl is broken (you may need a patch for bazel for musl which I have also).

[Filius-Patris]

Hey there. I think I'm hopping distros, away from void for the time being. Thus I retracted my progress so far concerning building anki itself (@fosslinux's template is more complete than mine anyway).

A couple of remarks:

• I forgot to search for currently open PRs before opening this one. This PR supersedes New package: bazel-3.5.0 #24978 and the latter could probably be closed.
• Should you need me to change anything about the PR, just ping me, I still have a live image ready.
• Made and built on x86_64-musl. Might work on other archs too, as it truly bootstraps the codebase, but didn't dig into how cross compiling works.

Thanks for the experience, loved my stay on void.

Hey, here I am again, half a year later. I'm still not on void, but I've been notified by an Alpine contributor, that he seemingly successfully built the latest Anki.

https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/29054

(Alpine is a musl libc distribution and the MR is for x86_64 and aarch64).

If anyone wants to pick up and build on OItmanns work, this might help.
