I am using gradle for native (C++) builds. I have a situation where based on some inputs, I generate some header files and I need to include those in the build. I have the following folder structure src/ -app/ -main.cpp -lib/ myapp/ -myapp.cpp -include/ myapp.hpp **generated.hpp** -meta/ -metadata.xml I have an xsl file that generates src/lib/include/generated.hpp from src/meta/metadata.xml My gradle script is as follows plugins { id ‘native-component’ id ‘cpp’ } model { buildTypes { debug production } components { myapp(NativeLibrarySpec) { sources {....} } mybin(NativeExecutableSpec) { sources {....} } } } Now, I’ve to add an Exec task that generates the hpp by running xslt. But how can I make it part of the model ? If I add an Exec task(or component ?) to the model, how do I make the other components depend on the artefact created by this task/component ? Thanks

@Schalk_Cronje Wonderful, just what I wanted. Thanks a lot!
