Build Tensorflow with Bazel

Question

I would like build tensorflow with Bazel to use the compiled libary in c++. I run the following commands in cmd.

C:\Users\Furkan\Desktop\tensorflow-1.14.0>bazel build --config=opt
WARNING: Usage: bazel build <options> <targets>.
Invoke `bazel help build` for full description of usage and options.
Your request is correct, but requested an empty set of targets. Nothing will be built.
INFO: Build option --define has changed, discarding analysis cache.
INFO: Analyzed 0 targets (0 packages loaded, 0 targets configured).
INFO: Found 0 targets...
INFO: Elapsed time: 0.124s, Critical Path: 0.01s
INFO: 0 processes.
INFO: Build completed successfully, 1 total action

After that they create the folders in tensorflow, but the folders are empty.. What I do wrong??

bazel: 0.25.2 tensorflow: 1.14.0

Answer 1

I guess you're typing an incomplete command, you should type:

bazel build --config=opt //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

The

//tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

is the location of the BUILD file, if you're not including it bazel does not know what to build. Including that in your command should solve the issue.
