Changing bazel build output folder on Windows while build tensorflow frm source

I am trying to build Tensorflow 1.14.0-rc1 on 

Windows 10
python : 3.6.8
cudatoolkit : 10.1
cudnn : 7.6.1
bazel : 0.25.1

While building bazel gives linking error due to low storage on default location of ~/baze{username}_ so I tried to change output location of build using --output_user_root which gives error

bazel build --config=opt --config=cuda --define=no_tensorflow_py_deps=true //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package output_user_root=/e/build/tensorflow

ERROR: Unrecognized option: --output_user_root=/e/build/tensorflow

when building using

or

E:\tensorflow-1.14.0-rc1>bazel build --config=opt --config=cuda define=no_tensorflow_py_deps=true //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package -output_user_root=E:\build\tensorflow

ERROR: Unrecognized option: --output_user_root=E:\build\tensorflow
Solution

  • --output_user_root is a startup option, so it must go before the command, i.e.:

    bazel --output_user_root=<...> build <...>
