Question: Support for macOS?

Open jammerful opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I attended bazelcon, and saw that you plan to support macOS. What is a rough timeline for that landing?

Currently we are trying to adopt your library, but running into issues on how to enable developers locally once using dbx_build_tools. We've tried using a containerized version of bazel, but are hitting quite a lot of technical blockers.

@benjaminp Maybe you know since you gave the talk at bazel con? Any guidance here would be appreciated, looking for very rough timelines and not holding you to them.

@jammerful Since I played around a bit with dbx_build_tools with macOS it seems the main issue are the missing header libraries. It should be relatively straightforward to add those when compiling python. However, one might run into some unexpected troubles later on with numpy and so on.

Anyway, I was able to successfully run dbx_build_tools with a docker container on a macos. If this is a doable workaround for you.

I'm interested in adding OSX support. Is there documentation on the development process for dbx_build_tools?
