For example, suppose there is a <code>java_library</code> target called <code>//third_party/javacc-v2</code>. This can be aliased by adding the following to the <i>WORKSPACE</i> file:</p> <pre class="code"> bind( name = "javacc-latest", actual = "//third_party/javacc-v2", ) </pre> <p>Now targets can depend on <code>//external:javacc-latest</code> instead of <code>//third_party/javacc-v2</code>. If javacc-v3 is released, the <code>bind</code> rule can be updated and all of the BUILD files depending on <code>//external:javacc-latest</code> will now depend on javacc-v3 without needing to be edited.</p> <p>Bind can also be used to make targets in external repositories available to your workspace. For example, if there is a remote repository named <code>@my-ssl</code> imported in the <i>WORKSPACE</i> file and it has a cc_library target <code>//src:openssl-lib</code>, you can create an alias for this target using <code>bind</code>:</p> <pre class="code"> bind( name = "openssl", actual = "@my-ssl//src:openssl-lib", ) </pre> <p>Then, in a BUILD file in your workspace, the bound target can be used as follows:</p> <pre class="code"> cc_library( name = "sign-in", srcs = ["sign_in.cc"], hdrs = ["sign_in.h"], deps = ["//external:openssl"], ) </pre> <p>Within <code>sign_in.cc</code> and <code>sign_in.h</code>, the header files exposed by <code>//external:openssl</code> can be referred to using their path relative to their repository root. For example, if the rule definition for <code>@my-ssl//src:openssl-lib</code> looks like this:</p> <pre class="code"> cc_library( name = "openssl-lib", srcs = ["openssl.cc"], hdrs = ["openssl.h"], ) </pre> <p>Then <code>sign_in.cc</code>'s includes might look like this:</p> <pre class="code"> #include "sign_in.h" #include "src/openssl.h" </pre> <!-- #END_BLAZE_RULE -->*/
