Publish Blaze/Bazel build files
Since this is a Google project I am somewhat sure that internally, you have BUILD files for building all this. Please make them available to the public.
Sorry, I don't know of any Blaze/BUILD files for Shaderc. I'd be happy to accept a contribution in this area, but would rely on the community to verify its correctness.
If shaderc is used internally at google, how is it integrated with the rest of Blaze based projects, then?
You seem to be making certain assumptions, without evidence.
My team maintains Shaderc in the service of the graphics community, with a focus on Vulkan. I'm glad you're interested in it. We also ship Shaderc in the Android NDK, for use by Android developers specifically.
Again, I'd gladly accept contributions in this area.

Sorry. Last information I had was that ANDROID NDK is being built with Bazel by now.
The Android NDK build is described in https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/README.md
If you trace down through the NDK's checkbuild.py script, you'll see the "shader-tools" module. That's what builds Shaderc. It invokes the cmake flow to build host executables. Shaderc is also delivered as source libraries with accompanying Android.mk files for integration directly into Android applications.
I started creating Bazel build definitions for personal use and encountered the following issue: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/11672
Basically, Bazel mis-includes files if their name collides with a Windows SDK file, and both the local file and SDK file are needed to build. For shaderc, this means that io.h in libshaderc_util doesn't get included properly on Windows, and as a result, the targets fail to build.
This might be able to be addressed within Bazel, but an alternative solution would be to just rename io.h to something else, e.g. io_shaderc.h. Would the maintainers of shaderc be open to such a patch? If so, I'd be happy to provide it, and provide my BUILD file.
My Bazel BUILD file is available here.
