This repository contains Bazel rules for building Qt. Additionally, it also provides as releases pre-built open source versions of Qt with Bazel BUILD files included.
To use it, add:

load("@aabtop_rules_qt//:rules_qt_deps1.bzl", "rules_qt_deps1")
rules_qt_deps1()
load("@aabtop_rules_qt//:rules_qt_deps2.bzl", "rules_qt_deps2")
rules_qt_deps2()to your WORKSPACE file. Note that by default, it will reference pre-built
Qt binaries stored as a GitHub release for this repository. If you would like
to build Qt from source, modify the last line above from rules_qt_deps2() to
rules_qt_deps2("local"), and be prepared to wait a couple of hours.
The rules can be accessed by loading:
load("@aabtop_rules_qt//:qt_rules.bzl", "qt_cc_library", "qt_cc_binary", "qt_resource")See the //sample/BUILD file for example usage.
In order to rebuild the binary versions of Qt referenced in the releases,
run ./build.sh out on Linux and ./build.bat out
on Windows. Note that both of those commands require Docker (or Docker Desktop
for Windows, in Windows mode) to be installed. You will then find the output
archive in the out/ folder, which can then be manually uploaded to GitHub as a
release. Afterwards, the references to aabtop_qt_bin_linux and
aabtop_qt_bin_windows should be updated in
rules_qt_deps1.bzl.
Finally, after the change above to update the releases is merged, the instructions in this README file above should be updated to point to the new commit hash which references the updated release archives.
