Description
Describe your environment Describe any aspect of your environment relevant to the problem, including your platform, build system, version numbers of installed dependencies, etc. If you're reporting a problem with a specific version of a library in this repo, please check whether the problem has been fixed on main branch.
opentelemetry-cpp version: v1.16.1
MacOS: 15.3.2
I am installing opentelemetry-cpp as part of a project through bazel. I am seeing:
no such package '@curl//': The repository '@curl' could not be resolved: '@curl' is not a repository rule and
referenced by '@io_opentelemetry_cpp//ext/src/http/client/curl:http_client_curl'
Steps to reproduce
Describe exactly how to reproduce the error. Include a code sample if applicable.
Following https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/blob/main/INSTALL.md#incorporating-into-an-existing-bazel-project and added the following to my WORKSPACE:
http_archive(
name = "io_opentelemetry_cpp",
sha256 = "b8a78bb2a3a78133dbb08bcd04342f4b1e03cb4a19079b8416d408d905fffc37",
strip_prefix = "opentelemetry-cpp-1.16.1",
urls = [
"https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/archive/refs/tags/v1.16.1.tar.gz",
],
)
# Load OpenTelemetry dependencies after the archive is downloaded
load("@io_opentelemetry_cpp//bazel:repository.bzl", "opentelemetry_cpp_deps")
opentelemetry_cpp_deps()
Component level bazel file:
envoy_cc_library(
...
deps = [
"@io_opentelemetry_cpp//api",
"@io_opentelemetry_cpp//exporters/ostream:ostream_span_exporter",
"@io_opentelemetry_cpp//exporters/otlp:otlp_http_exporter",

Research direction
Start with INSTALL.md's existing Bazel integration instructions and bazel/repository.bzl, then reproduce the failure using the provided WORKSPACE configuration and component-level deps. Trace why the @curl repository is unresolved; done means the documented opentelemetry_cpp_deps setup resolves the curl dependency for the shown targets.
