can't build the filter by following the instruction on this repo

[timxi]

@talnordan @yuval-k do you know how to build this filter?

[talnordan]

The README suggests running the following command:

$ bazel build //:envoy

Are you getting an error when running it? If so, can you paste the error output?

The cause of this issue is a backward incompatibility issue in Bazel, which prevents the existing WORKSPACE file from being used with newer Bazel versions.
See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/backward-compatibility.html#remove-native-http-archive.
