C++ with gradle

Question

In Gradle 1.10 Release notes http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/release-notes I see C++ build mentioned.

How to set up C++ project to build with gradle?

Answer 1

1. put this in build.gradle

   apply plugin: 'cpp'
   executables {
      hello {}
   }
   

2. put your source file in src/hello/cpp/say_hello.cpp

3. run 'gradle helloExecutable'

4. your executable should be built to build/binaries/helloExecutable/hello

Or, if you want your source in src/foo/bar then add

sources {
    hello {
      cpp {
        source {
            srcDir "src/foo/bar"
        }
    }
}
