Documentation for cc_shared_library #83

Closed TheButlah closed 8 months ago

TheButlah commented 3 years ago

Description of the problem / feature request:

Could some documentation be provided for the cc_shared_library rule? I'm finding that its the only way for me to produce a .so file for use in non-bazel projects, but the lack of documentation makes it unclear to me what the different attrs are supposed to be used for.

Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

Figure out how to produce .so files for use outside of bazel (cc_binary doesn't seem to include symbols for its dependencies?)

What version of rules_cc do you use? Can you paste the workspace rule used to fetch rules_cc? What other relevant dependencies does your project have?

master branch as of 20 Oct 2020

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

Googling yields some references to using cc_binary to produce the .so, but I haven't gotten this to work. So far only cc_shared_library has worked.

This issue has 12 upvotes, and since bazel's support for cc_shared_library and fully_static_link seemed so poorly documented if not fully unusable, I have stopped using bazel.

Has any progress been made in the last year and a half?

There is still no official bazel doc, but I found this doc helpful.
