how can I make Bazel to recognize other types of header files?

[Diego]

I have a local repository for SOL2 library, which is an external library wrapper for Lua. One of its files is including a file with the "inl" extension, but it is just a C header file. The problem is I can't include it in the srcs of the local repo or else Bazel will complain.

source file:

#ifdef __cplusplus

extern "C" {

#endif

#include "compatibility/5.1.0.h"

#include "compatibility/5.0.0.h"

#include "compatibility/5.x.x.h"

#include "compatibility/5.x.x.inl"

#ifdef __cplusplus

}

#endif

WORKSPACE file:

new_local_repository(

name = "sol2",

path = "../lib/sol2",

build_file_content = """

cc_library(

name = "sol2",

srcs = glob([

"sol/*.hpp",

"sol/compatibility/*.h",

"sol/compatibility/*.hpp",

"sol/compatibility/*.inl",

]),

hdrs = ["sol.hpp"],

deps = ["//external:lua"],

visibility = ["//visibility:public"],

)

""",

)
