How to configure Artifactory to download zip file for CPP project?

Old Forum
1

Hi, I need to download some third party libraries zip file from the artifactory and download to specific folder to link with build library.

plugins {
    id "com.jfrog.artifactory" version "3.0.1"
}
  apply plugin: 'cpp'
apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'
  dependencies {
    compile(group: 'com.google', name: 'protobuf', version: '2.5.0', ext: 'zip')
}
     artifactory {
    contextUrl = "${artifactory_contextUrl}"
 //The base Artifactory URL if not overridden by the publisher/resolver
    println "${artifactory_contextUrl}"
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-release-local'
            maven = true
                       }
    }
    resolve {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-release'
            maven = true
                       }
    }
}
sources {
    "${project.name}" {
  cpp {
    lib library: 'protobuf', linkage: 'static'
         }
 }
}

However I am getting below error:

* Where:
Build file 'C:\tools\Gradle\gradle_test\cpp_artifactory\build.gradle' line: 30
  * What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'cpp_artifactory'.
> Could not find method compile() for arguments [{group=com.google, name=protobuf, version=2.5.0, ext=zip}] on root project 'cpp_artifactory'.
  * Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
  BUILD FAILED

Below is the output for stacktrace:

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'cpp_artifactory'.

Please Help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks Mandar

“compile” is a configuration specific to the java plugin and its derivatives. See this thread (http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/example-needed-for-external-dependency-for-cpp-plugin) for how you can use zipped libraries as dependencies for native libraries.

Thanks Gary,

Its great stuff, and working correctly. just posting the code I used for Artifactory

plugins {
    id "com.jfrog.artifactory" version "3.0.1"
}
  apply plugin: 'cpp'
apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'
  artifactory {
    contextUrl = "${artifactory_contextUrl}"
 //The base Artifactory URL if not overridden by the publisher/resolver
    println "${artifactory_contextUrl}"
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-release-local'
            maven = true
                       }
    }
    resolve {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-release'
            maven = true
                       }
    }
}
configurations {
    osslibs
}
  dependencies {
        osslibs(group: 'com.google', name: 'protobuf', version: '2.5.0', ext: 'zip')
}
  task extractOSS(type: Copy) {
    from {
            configurations.osslibs.collect {zipTree(it)}
    }
    into "opensrc"
}

This works great, but I thought I’d mention that it fails if the following option is enabled in your gradle.properties file.

org.gradle.configureondemand=true

when that was enabled, I got the following error:

Cannot resolve external dependency com.my.org:module:3.8.0 because no repositories are defined.

As soon as I commented that line, it worked great.
