Does Buck allow prebuilt Cxx libraries to have multiple library files?

I have a large library built out of multiple .dylib files, which I would like to import as one prebuilt_cxx_library. However, the command only allows a string for the lib_name.

What is the recommended way to include a large third-party library with multiple .dylib files?

Solution

  • Each prebuilt_cxx_library corresponds to one dynamic or static library.

    However, you can use exported_deps to give other prebuilt libraries to consumers: 

    prebuilt_cxx_library(
  name = 'a',
  ...
)

prebuilt_cxx_library(
  name = 'b',
  ...
  exported_deps = [
    '//:a',
  ], 
)

    Users of //:b will now get //:a also.
