xmake-gradle

A gradle plugin that integrates xmake seamlessly

Introduction (中文)

xmake-gradle is a gradle plugin that integrates xmake seamlessly.

If you want to know more, please refer to:

Prerequisites

XMake installed on the system. Available here.

Apply the plugin

plugins DSL

plugins {
  id 'org.tboox.gradle-xmake-plugin' version '1.2.0'
}

Legacy plugin application

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'org.tboox:gradle-xmake-plugin:1.2.0'
  }
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
}

apply plugin: "org.tboox.gradle-xmake-plugin"

Configuation

Simplest Example

We add xmake.lua to projectdir/jni/xmake.lua and enable xmake in build.gradle.

build.gradle

android {
    externalNativeBuild {
        xmake {
            path "jni/xmake.lua"
        }
    }
}

JNI

The JNI project structure:

projectdir
  - src
    - main
      - java
  - jni
    - xmake.lua
    - *.cpp

xmake.lua:

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
target("nativelib")
    set_kind("shared")
    add_files("nativelib.cc")

More Gradle Configuations

android {
    defaultConfig {
        externalNativeBuild {
            xmake {
                // append the global cflags (optional)
                cFlags "-DTEST"

                // append the global cppflags (optional)
                cppFlags "-DTEST", "-DTEST2"

                // switch the build mode to `debug` for `xmake f -m debug` (optional)
                buildMode "debug"

                // set abi filters (optional), e.g. armeabi, armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64
                // we can also get abiFilters from defaultConfig.ndk.abiFilters
                abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "arm64-v8a"

                // set the built targets
                //targets "xxx", "yyy"
            }
        }
    }

    externalNativeBuild {
        xmake {
            // enable xmake and set xmake.lua project file path
            path "jni/xmake.lua"

            // enable verbose output (optional), e.g. verbose, normal
            logLevel "verbose"

            // set c++stl (optional), e.g. c++_static/c++_shared, gnustl_static/gnustl_shared, stlport_static/stlport_shared
            stl "c++_shared"

            // set the given xmake program path (optional)
            // program /usr/local/bin/xmake

            // disable stdc++ library (optional)
            // stdcxx false

            // set the given ndk directory path (optional)
            // ndk "/Users/ruki/files/android-ndk-r20b/"

            // set sdk version of ndk (optional)
            // sdkver 21
        }
    }
}

Build

Build JNI and generate apk

The xmakeBuild will be injected to assemble task automatically if the gradle-xmake-plugin has been applied.

$ ./gradlew app:assembleDebug
> Task :nativelib:xmakeConfigureForArm64
> Task :nativelib:xmakeBuildForArm64
>> xmake build
[ 50%]: ccache compiling.debug nativelib.cc
[ 75%]: linking.debug libnativelib.so
[100%]: build ok!
>> install artifacts to /Users/ruki/projects/personal/xmake-gradle/nativelib/libs/arm64-v8a
> Task :nativelib:xmakeConfigureForArmv7
> Task :nativelib:xmakeBuildForArmv7
>> xmake build
[ 50%]: ccache compiling.debug nativelib.cc
[ 75%]: linking.debug libnativelib.so
[100%]: build ok!
>> install artifacts to /Users/ruki/projects/personal/xmake-gradle/nativelib/libs/armeabi-v7a
> Task :nativelib:preBuild
> Task :nativelib:assemble
> Task :app:assembleDebug
