doesn't seem to work

Well, like most Bazel things I try, this doesn't seem to work at all:

How did you test ? pybind11_bazel is basically a "wrapper" on top of pybind11 for bazel so you don't build it directly...

BTW I've tested some ci using the "examples/basic" sub project to test windows build using github windows runner -> seems to work as expected.... see: https://github.com/Mizux/pybind11_bazel/actions

For using it in your project take a look at the pybind11_abseil or pybind11_protobuf project if using bzlmod aka MODULE.bazel (default with bazel 8.0):
