Thank you, and a bzl module for building Linux Kernel Modules

[Shmuel H.]

Hello you all,

First of all, I need to thank all the developers for this amazing build system. I've been searching for years a build system that match my requirements and would be simple to use for simple projects but also very flexible and programmable for more complicated projects. After trying and reading about all of matching inputs for the regex '[a-z]make', I found Bazel.

I just wanted to say thanks for this beautiful thing. It is simple to see how much effort you put to design and write it. I know that most of this project has been built by Google developers who have developed it as their job; However, it doesn't mean I can't thank you.

And about another topic, I wrote a pretty simple rule for Linux Kernel Modules compilation and linking. Is this the place to share these kind of scripts? or maybe there is another way?

Thank you,
Shmuel H.

P.S. I'm sorry if there is any grammar mistake in this message, I don't have a compiler that will throw me errors about invalid syntax so please correct me. Thanks.

Wow that's amazing :) you can just stage it on a git repository and share the URL here. We are thinking of having an online index of Skylark rules but we have not built it yet.

@Shmuel GREAT JOB! hope to hear more from you :)

[rabin...@gmail.com]

Shmuel, very curious about your rule to compile kernel modules using bazel -- have you shared it anywhere?

Best,
Rabin

I have not, it is a part of a bigger (currently dead) project. And you'll have to somehow apply the required compiler options to your libraries (otherwise, they won't work since the linux kernel uses a different call convention.

However, [here](https://gist.github.com/Reflexe/b78962a67277cfbddf6dd5ad56f22e67) is a snippet of the script. If I remember correctly, I've had a problem with this script (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/4912);

Thanks for your interest.
