well, for my first little bigger project (more then one build.gradle) with gradle and cpp, i would like to use a hierarchical project layout where each subproject got its own build.gradle (and settings.gradle if it got its own subprojects…)
when i search the forums this is the closest i got, thats not to old (as much as gradle dsl broke with android cpp during the expremental plugin, i guess its the same way here but somewhat more stable…)
when using one build.gradle, its not a problem, cause everything is in the same component, but how do i reference a task in a native sub software projects build.gradle?
another linked question, in settings.gradle i just wrote include, and the foldername inside quotes which is relative from settings.gradle in top project root/submodules/the foldername in settings.gradle
gradle doesnt complain, but it does not seem to find my custom tasks ether…
how is a include to a native submodule supposed to look like?
i hope its readable, as theres no preview function it might look messy…
I’m a bit late to the game, but it’s also possible to rewrite where each of your projects is located. By default, the Gradle path you specify (with column) is the on-disk path that will be used. However, you can configure that. Look at Gradle’s own settings.gradle file. That been said, it a decision that should come from engineering your build as oppose to “that’s how other build tool does it”.
thats how i solved it when i reworked my build files from scratch earlier this spring,
i include the whole project and set the projectdir from settings.gradle…
it was accually pretty easy when i figured out how to do it…
