## Using bzlmod with Bazel 6 or later:

1. [Bazel 6] Add \`common --enable_bzlmod\` to \`.bazelrc\`.

2. Add to your \`MODULE.bazel\` file:

\`\`\`starlark
bazel_dep(name = "rules_cc", version = "${TAG}")
\`\`\`

## Using WORKSPACE:

\`\`\`starlark

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive(
    name = "rules_cc",
    sha256 = "${SHA}",
    strip_prefix = "${PREFIX}",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_cc/releases/download/${TAG}/${ARCHIVE}",
)

load("@rules_cc//cc:extensions.bzl", "compatibility_proxy_repo")

compatibility_proxy_repo()
