Build tools are the cornerstones of software construction, but does not always get the attention they deserve. Build sciprts and recipes are many times constructed in a hurry without due care leading to suboptimal or brittle builds. This becomes especially true in the native space.
The session starts with the requirements of a moern build tool in the native space and then continues to show how Gradle fits in with this requirement. practical examples will be shown how to layout and build C & C++ programs, also leading to other native languages such as D, Rust & Go. it will also show how easy it is to manage polyglot environments and to build cross-platform or to target multiple hardware/operating system environments. It will also show how to integrate with other tools such as
-
GNU Make
-
CMake
-
Doxygen
-
Conan
It will also demontrate the power of distributed artifact caching.
it is hoped that the attendee can leave with a number of practical examples to get started with Gradle and thus reduce the learning curve.
