Bazel Project with Drake as a Precompiled External

This pulls in a downloaded or installed binary build of Drake via the Bazel workspace mechanism.

For an introduction to Bazel, refer to Getting Started with Bazel.

Instructions

First, install the required Ubuntu packages:

sudo ../scripts/setup/linux/ubuntu/bionic/install_prereqs

Then, to build and test all apps:

bazel test //...

As an example to run a binary directly:

bazel run //apps:simple_logging_example

You may also run the binary directly per the bazel-bin/... path that the above command prints out; however, be aware that your working directories may cause differences. This is important when using tools like drake::FindResource / pydrake.common.FindResource. You may generally want to stick to using bazel run when able.
