fatal error: 'resolv.h' file not found on macOS / nix

[kyleconroy]

Description of the bug:

Hey there Bazel team! I've run into a issue that I can't solve. I'm building a Go project with the following setup:

• macOS 14.7.1
• devenv 1.3.1
• Bazel 8.0.0

When trying to build my project, the resolv.h header can't be found.

$ bazelisk build //hello

I'm confident this is a strange interaction with between Bazel and Nix / devenv, but I'm not having much success figuring out what that interaction is. Would appreciate any help solving the issue!

Which category does this issue belong to?

C++ Rules

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

cd devenv-bazel-go-broken
devenv shell
bazelisk build //hello

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

If this is a regression, please try to identify the Bazel commit where the bug was introduced with bazelisk --bisect.

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

I've opened up an issue (cachix/devenv#1099) on devenv, as I'm not sure where the bug is happening.

I ran into a similar bug back in April and found a few Bazel issues that might be related

• Bazel 7: cgo actions should depends on apple_support bazel-contrib/rules_go#3793
• $DEVELOPER_DIR stopped getting set on macOS when using C++ toolchain environment #20638

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?
