Lolwut? Is this article like 5 years old or something? Bazel ships as single installer binary for a while now and is available on most linux distros even.
- keyle 5y agoNot if you want to build bazel itself from source? /shrug
- dilyevsky 5y agoActually building bazel itself was a breeze last time i tried it but you need a binary distribution of bazel bc it uses itself =)
- shuffel 5y agoBazel is great if you're at Google scale, but I agree with the article. Too complex and bloated for my liking.
- dilyevsky 5y agoMore complex than autotools? You can cut your build times dramatically even if you’re far from google scale. The improvement we saw at current co was 10x. Try that with autotools
