We use codehaus native-plugin to build jni, I want to pass the cflags during release phase. However I see that I am unable to pass any of the arguments through release plugin. Any experience or pointers would help this is mvn command which we call through a makefile similar to https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/ 48d60908a1fa42364a829ac90133d28dd0998219/Makefile#L579 ``` scalareleasedryrun: (cd $(ROOTDIR)/scala-package; \ mvn -X release:prepare -DdryRun=true -DautoVersionSubmodules=true \ -P$(SCALA_PKG_PROFILE),$(SCALA_VERSION_PROFILE) \ -Darguments=-DskipTests -Dcxx="$(CXX)" \ -Drelease.cflags="$(CFLAGS)" -Dldflags="$(LDFLAGS)" \ -Dlddeps="$(LIB_DEP) $(ROOTDIR)/lib/libmxnet.a") ``` The parent pom file is here https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/scala-package/pom.xml and the pom file to compile native code is here https://github.com/apache/ incubator-mxnet/blob/master/scala-package/init-native/osx-x86_64/pom.xml#L59 I see that cflags variable used in the native pom.xml is coming as null ``` [INFO] [INFO] --- native-maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-9:compile (default-compile) @ libmxnet-init-scala-osx-x86_64 --- [INFO] [DEBUG] Configuring mojo org.codehaus.mojo:native- maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-9:compile from plugin realm ClassRealm[extension>org. codehaus.mojo:native-maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-9, parent: sun.misc.Launcher$ AppClassLoader@42a57993] [INFO] [DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.codehaus.mojo:native- maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-9:compile' with basic configurator --> [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) compilerEndOptions = [-I../../../include, null] [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) compilerOutputDirectory = /Users/wamy/nswamy/deepengine/workspace/incubator-mxnet/ scala-package/init-native/osx-x86_64/target/objs [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) compilerProvider = generic-classic [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) compilerStartOptions = [-std=c++0x] [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) dependencyIncludeDirectory = /Users/wamy/nswamy/deepengine/workspace/incubator-mxnet/ scala-package/init-native/osx-x86_64/target/native/include [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) javahOS = darwin [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) jdkIncludePath = /Library/Java/ JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_171.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/../include [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) numberOfConcurrentCompilation = 1 [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) project = MavenProject: org.apache.mxnet:libmxnet- init-scala-osx-x86_64:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT @ /Users/wamy/nswamy/deepengine/ workspace/incubator-mxnet/scala-package/init-native/osx-x86_64/pom.xml [INFO] [DEBUG] (s) directory = /Users/wamy/nswamy/deepengine/ workspace/incubator-mxnet/scala-package/init-native/src/main/native [INFO] [DEBUG] (s) fileNames = [org_apache_mxnet_init_native_c_api.cc] [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) sources = [org.codehaus.mojo.natives.
