No response

Any other context to provide?

For starters, here's a WORKSPACE rule I wrote to be able to use this in the meantime:

http_archive(
    name = "glfw-3.3.6",
    build_file_content = """
cc_library(
    name = "glfw-headers",
    hdrs = [
        "include/GLFW/glfw3.h",
    ],
    strip_include_prefix = "include",
    includes = ['.'],
)
cc_library(
    name = "glfw-3.3.6",
    srcs = [
        "src/context.c",
        "src/egl_context.c",
        "src/glx_context.c",

I use GLFW this way in my WORKSPACE.bazel file:

#-------------------------------------------------------------

GLFW_VERSION = "3.3.8"
