OR-Tools comes with a Bazel based build ([WORKSPACE](../WORKSPACE)) that can be
used on a wide range of platforms. If you don't have Bazel installed already,
you can download it for free from <https://bazel.build/>.

**warning: Currently OR-Tools Bazel doesn't support Python, Java nor .Net,
please use the Makefile or CMake based build instead.**

## Requirement

You'll need:

* `Bazel >= 5.4.0`.
* A compiler with C++17 support.

## Solvers supported

Here the list of supported solvers:

*   CP-SAT
*   GLOP
*   GLPK
*   PDLP
*   SCIP

## Dependencies

OR-Tools depends on several mandatory libraries.

*   Eigen
*   Google Abseil-cpp,
*   Google Protobuf,
*   Google Gtest,
*   Bliss,
*   SCIP,
*   GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit)

## Compilation

You must compile OR-Tools using at least C++17 (C++20 on windows):

*   on UNIX:

    ```sh
    bazel build --cxxopt=-std=c++17 ...
    ```

*   on Windows when using MSVC:

    ```sh
    bazel build --cxxopt="/std:c++20" ...
    ```

## Testing

You may run tests using:

*   on UNIX:

    ```sh
    bazel test --cxxopt=-std=c++17 ...
    ```

*   on Windows when using MSVC:

    ```sh
    bazel test --cxxopt="/std:c++20" ...
    ```

## Integration

To integrate OR-Tools in your own Bazel project,
you can take a look at the template project:
[or-tools/bazel\_or-tools](https://github.com/or-tools/bazel_or-tools).
