We are progressing adoption of Gradle in our native projects. Gradle native support in version 6.0 seems very, very promising, thank you for your hard work!
Currently, we are investigating how to package modules built by us with their dependencies. Our final target is to build MSI packages with the Wix Toolset.
Composite builds work very well for us in JVM projects. We tried the same basic technique we use in those projects. In the following, “prodist:apr-util” and its dependencies are all provided by included builds.
configurations {
install
}
dependencies {
install group: 'prodist', name: 'apr-util'
}
tasks.register('install', Copy) {
from configurations.install
into layout.buildDir
}
Calling gradle install generates the following report:
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':install'.
> Could not resolve prodist:apr-util.
Required by:
project :
> Cannot choose between the following variants of project :apr-util:
- cppApiElements
- debugLinkElements
- debugRuntimeElements
- releaseLinkElements
- releaseRuntimeElements
All of them match the consumer attributes:

With tried defining a “configuration”, like this:
configurations {
install
}
dependencies {
install group: 'prodist', name: 'apr-util', configuration: 'debugRuntimeElements'
}
tasks.register('install', Copy) {
from configurations.install
into layout.buildDir
}
Defining “configuration” helps Gradle resolve “prodist:apr-util” but doesn’t help resolving its dependencies:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':install'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':install'.
> Could not resolve prodist:apr:7.0.0.

We have studied the dependency contraints feature but found nothing to help us solve this issue. Have we missed something?
