How to use Bazel to build project uses OpenCV [closed]

by

There are a couple of options. The easiest way is probably to install locally in the way the OpenCV site recommends:

git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git
cd opencv/
mkdir build install
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/opencv/install ..
make install

Then add the following to your WORKSPACE file:

new_local_repository(
    name = "opencv",
    path = "/path/to/opencv/install",
    build_file = "opencv.BUILD",
)

Create opencv.BUILD in the same directory as WORKSPACE with the following:

cc_library(
    name = "opencv",
    srcs = glob(["lib/*.so*"]),
    hdrs = glob(["include/**/*.hpp"]),
    includes = ["include"],
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"], 
    linkstatic = 1,
)

Then your code can depend on @opencv//:opencv to link in the .so’s under lib/ and reference the headers under include/.

However, this isn’t very portable. If you want a portable solution (and you’re feeling ambitious), you could add the OpenCV git repo to your workspace and download & build it. Something like: 

# WORKSPACE
new_git_repository(
    name = "opencv",
    remote = "https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git",
    build_file = "opencv.BUILD",
    tag = "3.1.0",
)

And make opencv.BUILD something like:

cc_library(
    name = "core",
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
    srcs = glob(["modules/core/src/**/*.cpp"]),
    hdrs = glob([
        "modules/core/src/**/*.hpp", 
        "modules/core/include/**/*.hpp"]
    ) + [":module-includes"],
)

genrule(
    name = "module-includes",
    cmd = "echo '#define HAVE_OPENCV_CORE' > $@",
    outs = ["opencv2/opencv_modules.hpp"],
)

...

Then your code could depend on more specific targets, e.g., @opencv//:core.

As a third option, you declare both cmake and OpenCV in your WORKSPACE file and use a genrule to run cmake on OpenCV from within Bazel.
