Running `dbt build //...` in arbitrary repositories (e.g. libsupcxx) fails with error related to xilinx rules.

Closed this issue 2 years ago · 1 comments

E.g. running dbt build //... cc-toolchain=x86_64-libsupcxx in libsupcxx fails with:
[169/232] Exporting simulator IP for xsim to /home/.../BUILD/OUTPUT-B67DFF84/dbt-rules/xilinx FAILED: /.../BUILD/OUTPUT-B67DFF84/dbt-rules/xilinx/dummy This target only supports questa. xsim is not supported.

I think this is because the xilinx rules export a target //dbt-rules/xilinx/ExportSimulatorIp.
If the xilinx rules can't stay silent in non-HW related repos, they should not be part of the generic dbt-rules.

I am not sure I agree with this. You can always say //libsupcxx/.... I will think about it.
