I have a similar need I am trying to integrate the conan package management system.
I have written a custom generator for conan that creates an Android.bp file with the appropriate targets that are downloaded via conan I need to run a script that will install these dependencies during build time. My file structure is: - vendor/mycompany/external/Android.bp - vendor/mycompany/external/conanInstallDependencies.sh - vendor/mycompany/conan/conanfile.txt I am able to run the script using $(shell) via Android.mk but I am not sure how to integrate Android.mk and the Android.bp that uses the conan deps to ensure the build order is satisfied It works with Android.mk, but I have to run the build twice. - First build iteration will download the dependencies via Conan and place them in the proper folder location but the build will fail because the Android.bp that is generated by Conan is not executed - Second build iteration will find the existing Android.bp that was generated by Conan and the build will succeed I essentially want to create a target that is called "conanInstallDependencies" This target would be simple, it will only invoke the "conanInstallDependencies.sh" script I would want the Conan-generated Android.bp to "link" or "be dependent" on the "conanInstallDependencies" target so that this Android.bp is always built after the "conanInstallDependencies" Android.bp On Thursday, August 22, 2019 at 11:18:41 AM UTC-7, Dan Willemsen wrote: > > What is your pre-build-script.sh script doing?
