rules_7zip

This repository adds 7zip support for your bazel projects. If you want to just use the 7zip executable then you can access it as @7zip//:7za or use the pkg_7z rule.

Installation

Add this to your WORKSPACE:

http_archive(
    name = "rules_7zip",
    strip_prefix = "rules_7zip-e00b15d3cb76b78ddc1c15e7426eb1d1b7ddaa3e",
    urls = ["https://github.com/zaucy/rules_7zip/archive/e00b15d3cb76b78ddc1c15e7426eb1d1b7ddaa3e.zip"],
    sha256 = "fd9e99f6ccb9e946755f9bc444abefbdd1eedb32c372c56dcacc7eb486aed178",
)

load("@rules_7zip//:setup.bzl", "setup_7zip")
setup_7zip()

Rules

Similar to pkg_* rules in rules_pkg except the package is created with 7-zip.

load("@rules_7zip//:defs.bzl", "pkg_7z")
pkg_7z(name)

Similar to http_archive except the archive will be extracted with 7zip. This enables you to fetch and extract .7z, .exe, .msi, or other 7-zip supported archives that http_archive does not support.

load("@rules_7zip//:defs.bzl", "http_7z")
http_7z(name)

How it works

7zip pre-built binaries are used on windows and p7zip is downloaded and compiles on all other platforms. Regardless of the platform you use rules_7zip you will be able to run and utilise @7zip//:7z and @7zip//:7za.

On Windows

  1. Downloads 7zip 19.00 MSI installer
  2. Extracts 7zip with msiexec.exe
  3. Downloads 7zip 19.00 extras
  4. Extract 7zip extras with previously extracted 7zip

Now you can use 7zip 19.00!

On POSIX

  1. Download and extract p7zip source
  2. Setup bazel build files in order for it to be compiled

Now you can use p7zip 16.02!
