在没有bazel的情况下从源安装tcmalloc到链接？

Question

I'd like to install tcmalloc from source.

I'm on centos8. I'd install from yum but don't see any google-perf or gperf or anything of the sort available . (I did do yum check-update .)

The instructions on the tcmalloc github sure are simple. Install bazel (check). Then run bazel test //tcmalloc/... in the <projectroot>/tcmalloc dir. Then, it claims, "Congratulations! You've installed TCMalloc"!

Ok tcmalloc team, love you guys, but... I think our definitions of install are different. I don't see any bit of libtcmalloc available in /usr/lib/ or /usr/lib64/ or anywhere else for that matter.

How do I get a nice, plain, old shared library outputted by this bazel beast? Linking in via bazel to my project as described is not an option.

Yes @dewaffled had the answer in the comments. Here is what I used.

yum install -y epel-release && yum install -y gperftools.x86_64

Or you can use the gperftools-devel that @dewaffled mentioned.
