Error while building TensorFlow from source

I am trying to build TensorFlow cpu only r1.11 from source on a Debian OS following this tutorial: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source

I installed bazel as indicated using this tutorial https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install-ubuntu.html from the binary installer as recommended.

Then I followed each step and everything worked fine until this command: 

bazel test -c opt -- //tensorflow/... -//tensorflow/compiler/... -//tensorflow/contrib/lite/...

It shows me this error:

ERROR: error loading package '': Encountered error while reading extension file 'closure/defs.bzl': no such package '@io_bazel_rules_closure//closure': The native http_archive rule is deprecated. load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive") for a drop-in replacement.
Use --incompatible_remove_native_http_archive=false to temporarily continue using the native rule.

I read online that this is likely related to bazel. So I tried reinstalling bazel using the Using Bazel custom APT repository but I got the same error.

I agree with @jdehesa. Even I was struggling to build the tensorflow using from scratch. I tried different versions, 0.26,0.21,0.19.1 and finally it worked with 0.18.1. So, it is a bazel issue rather than Tensorflow. TF_version=1.12.0

As of version 1.12.0, TensorFlow uses some deprecated Bazel features that are being completely dropped in recent versions of Bazel. Instead of using the most recent version, try using an older one for now. I was able to build TensorFlow 1.12.0 on Windows using Bazel 0.18.1, most likely that should work with TensorFlow 1.11 too.
