wrapper_build_script.sh: line 20: BUILD_LOG: unbound variable

After upgrading from rules_foreign_cc version 0.14.0 to 0.15.0, I've started seeing some problems:

1. Firstly, this error message when using the cmake rule: wrapper_build_script.sh: line 20: BUILD_LOG: unbound variable

All of my builds were successful with 0.14.0, but now:

• Some of my cmake targets are building successfully
• Other targets promptly fail with the unbound variable error. I'm attaching one the wrapper scripts for these: wrapper_build_script.sh.txt

What I think happens is that setting one of my environment variables fails, thus triggering the trap. BUILD_LOG needs to be the first one being assigned.

2. Even though I'm only using the cmake rule, Bazel is now compiling BootstrapGNUMake and BootstrapPkgConfig which aren't needed.

3. My cmake rule instance is the dependency of another rule that applies an 1:N transition (thus building my library for multiple target platforms). The issue I see is that the number of times BootstrapGNUMake and BootstrapPkgConfig are building is equal to the number of target platforms. I was expecting them to be built differently only based on the execution platforms. The selected host compiler is the same across all these builds.

I'm running Bazel 8.2.1 with bzlmod only.

Can you post more details about your setup? Are you using WORKSPACE or bzlmod? Are you using a prebuilt toolchain or a system installed version of cmake?
Are you able to post the contents of the two generated build scripts?

Hi @jsharpe, thank you for the quick response. I've edited my initial post with more details.
