Fail to build protobuf

[Rick Genter]

I'm following the directions at https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/README.md to try to build protobuf 25.3.

I have bazel 7.0.2 installed.

I downloaded protobuf-25.3.tar.gz, then gunzip'd and untar'd it.

I then cd'd to protobuf-25.3 and did

$ bazel build :protoc

That worked.

I then tried

$ bazel build :protobuf

and get

ERROR: no such package '@@com_google_protobuf//': The repository '@@com_google_protobuf' could not be resolved: Repository '@@com_google_protobuf' is not defined

How do I fix this?

Hi Rick,

There's an open issue for the same https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/15615 in case you haven't seen it.

Thank you, Tricia. As a workaround I added the following to bottom of the WORKSPACE file at the root of the protobuf-25.3 directory:

local_repository(name = "com_google_protobuf", path = ".")

Everything then built fine and seems to be functional.
