This repository is a little experiment on how to integrate packages loaded via conan into bazel. It is meant to be self-contained and only requires a python3 binary. This is currently only tested on Linux.

To run, type

bazel run //src:main

This will:

• setup a venv in which to install conan
• run conan to install the fmt C++ library
• compile a small hello-world program that uses the fmt loaded via conan

Please refer to the WORKSPACE.bazel file and the files in support/bazel for more information.

• Additional arguments to the venv creation
