Hi there
I’m trying to find out how I can use a custom toolchain, depending on a build type or flavour.
I’ve found snippets e.g. under https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/design-docs/done/continuous-delivery-for-c-plus-plus.md#story-build-a-native-component-using-multiple-tool-chains how to overwrite the executables used, but it seems for 2.2.1 this doesn’t work anymore.
What would be the “right” way to define a custom toolchain? And how would I be using it depending on the build type?
Thx for any hints!

In the meantime, I got a bit further, but ultimatley it’s still not working …
I have the following in my build.gradle:
model {
platforms {
x64 {
architecture “x64”
}
ST31 {
architecture “arm”
}
}
toolChains {
gcc(Gcc) {
target(“x64”) {
…
}
target(“ST31”) {
cCompiler.executable = “c:/tools/arm/bin/armcc.exe”
…
}
}
}
}
But with the used ARM compiler, unfortunately I get
Execution failed for task ‘ST31HelloExecutable’.
No tool chain is available to build for platform ‘ST31’:
- Tool chain ‘gcc’ (GNU GCC): Could not determine GCC version: armcc.exe produced unexpected output.
So it looks the compiler isn’t GCC-compatible 
Is there any way at the moment to plug in a non-GCC-compatible compiler?
