* docs: update link to Visual C++ Build Tools 2015Gravatar Laszlo Csomor2018-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5720 Change-Id: I4270c395029691bcc9f4a3931a4401923edf2441 Closes #5739. PiperOrigin-RevId: 207225362
* Fix link to windows platform bugsGravatar justhecuke2018-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | Link currently finds no issues. This seems to be because the proper tag is "platform:windows" rather than the documented "multi-platform > windows". The fix merely updates the text and link to "platform:windows". Closes #5393. PiperOrigin-RevId: 200533655

* Windows doc: Update docs about building Java and Python on WindowsGravatar Yun Peng2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | Now we are using the native launcher to run binary for Java and Python, so the outputs of these targets have changed. Closes #4898. Change-Id: Id2ea33d7c02b5608215b5cd4173ed917df0cb217 PiperOrigin-RevId: 190037369

* docs,windows: update bootstrap & install docsGravatar Laszlo Csomor2018-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | Update the documentation about: - compiling Bazel from source (without an existing Bazel binary) on Windows - OS and software requirements on Windows Closes #4741. PiperOrigin-RevId: 187829532
* Update Windows doc about building PythonGravatar pcloudy2017-09-14
| | | | | | | | BAZEL_PYTHON was only used for the old MSVC python wrapper script. After we use wrapper-free CROSSTOOL by default, it's not used anymore. It has nothing to do with building Python rules. The correct way to specify python interpreter is to use --python_path flag. RELNOTES: None PiperOrigin-RevId: 168655953
* docs,Windows: update Visual Studio requirementsGravatar laszlocsomor2017-09-13

* docs,Windows: update installation docsGravatar laszlocsomor2017-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this change: - Reword text in windows.md to use active voice instead of passive voice (so it's clear who the actor is). - Update Bash script examples to use cmd.exe syntax. - Remove outdated information, such as Bazel being an msys2 binary. - Restructure list of requirements to be clearer and simpler.

* Update docs since bazel doesn't link agains msys-2.0.dll anymoreGravatar hlopko2017-08-18

* Update windows doc for the current default msys install locationGravatar hlopko2017-08-18
| | | | | | | | Msys is now installed to c:\msys64 by default. This cl updates our docs to prevent confusion. RELNOTES: None. PiperOrigin-RevId: 165681864
* Fix link to the Building Python on Windows doc.Gravatar Yilei (Dolee) Yang2017-07-19
| | | | | | Closes #3411. PiperOrigin-RevId: 162464151
* Reorganize Windows install instructionsGravatar steren2017-07-03
| | | | | | | | * move Compile requirement and instructions to the "compile from source" page * remove warning for old versions of Bazel RELNOTES: None PiperOrigin-RevId: 160641070
* Restructure site/ directory into docs/ which only contains Bazel documentation.Gravatar dzc2017-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new docs/ directory in the bazel source tree will only contain the Bazel docs site, which is hosted at docs.bazel.build. This change deletes the marketing site and blog, which have been migrated to the bazel-website and bazel-blog GitHub repositories respectively. This change also updates the serve-docs.sh and ci/build.sh under scripts/ in preparation for publishing the docs site. Note that to help make reviews more manageable, this change is limited to moving files to their new locations. Here are the follow-up changes: * Update all links in docs to remove versions/master in paths and to add correct bazel.build subdomain when linking to pages on the marketing site or the blog. * Set up versioned directories on GCS bucket and add tooling for versioning docs This change is also coordinated with https://bazel-review.googlesource.com/c/11568/ to have the PublishSite job publish to docs.bazel.build rather than www.bazel.build.
