The repository '@gflags' could not be resolved

[giancarlocp]

Following the Building for Linux

bazel build -c opt lyra/cli_example:encoder_main

I got (using bazel 5.4):

.../.cache/bazel/.../com_google_glog/BUILD.bazel:7:13: no such package '@gflags//':
The repository '@gflags' could not be resolved:
Repository '@gflags' is not defined and referenced by '@com_google_glog//:glog'

Is glog (Google Logging) needed to use the codec?

The following fix works for me:
Go to WORKSPACE, replace the following:

git_repository(
name = "com_google_glog",
remote = "https://github.com/google/glog.git",
branch = "master"
)

with

git_repository(
name = "com_google_glog",
remote = "https://github.com/google/glog.git",
tag = "v0.7.0"
)

This is to ask Bazel to search for a specific version of glog. Sadly, the Bazel-based building seems to fall apart as time goes on. Sadly, I suspect that no team is maintaining this repo anymore.

Hope the issue is fixed. I was able to compile with Bazel 6.6.0 and macOS 26 / Xcode 26.
