Compilation problems

[tzaeschke]

I tried to follow the installation instructions here, section "Building":

1. make bootstrapper fails with make: *** No rule to make target 'bootstrapper'. Stop.
2. bazel build //:bootstrapper, bazel build ... fail with

ERROR: /home/ztilmann/.cache/bazel/_bazel_ztilmann/87be20ea61cc62702d6eca3dd1110526/external/io_bazel_rules_go/BUILD.bazel:71:16: in (an implicit dependency) attribute of go_context_data rule @@io_bazel_rules_go//:go_context_data: in $whitelist_function_transition attribute of go_context_data rule @@io_bazel_rules_go//:go_context_data: package group '@@bazel_tools//tools/whitelists/function_transition_whitelist:function_transition_whitelist' is misplaced here (they are only allowed in the visibility attribute)

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.4, bazel 7.0.2, go 1.22.0, AMD64.

Proposed workaround

Proposed fix

Problem 2) disappeared when I changed the io_bazel_rules_go dependency in WORKSPACE to
