Build mediapipe on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04)

I’m trying to build MediaPipe from source with Bazel on Linux ubuntu 22.04.
here are the full steps ive done so far:

git clone https://github.com/google/mediapipe.git
cd mediapipe
bazel build -c opt --define MEDIAPIPE_DISABLE_GPU=1   mediapipe/examples/desktop/desktop/holistic_tracking:holistic_tracking_cpu

but it’s always failing with the following error:

In file included from ./mediapipe/util/annotation_renderer.h:20,
                 from mediapipe/util/annotation_renderer.cc:15:
./mediapipe/framework/port/opencv_core_inc.h:18:10: fatal error: opencv2/core/version.hpp: No such file or directory
   18 | #include <opencv2/core/version.hpp>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tried to build opencv from source with cmake and it worked, the absolute path for it is usr/local/include/opencv4/opencv2 but for some reason, Bazel is unable to find it even though I tried to manually add the full path in WORKSPACE, BUILD.bazel files.

I have been stuck with this error for about a week now, does anyone have a stable solution for this?
