Correct and Flexible Native Builds... By Default

About this Presentation

The native software ecosystem is overflowing with build systems competing on performance, correctness, and flexibility. As one of the most popular build system, Gradle has been providing impressive native domain modeling for the last four years; most notably, multi-variant dimension, toolchains, binaries and source sets.

The advantage of Gradle goes beyond the native domain. With this polyglot build system, the Gradle community has discovered patterns that allow users to automate every aspect of a project. Gradle has revolutionized the way software are built and shipped.

This talk will start by introducing the concepts for building native applications and libraries with Gradle, then proceed with extending these concepts to solve more complex scenarios where Gradle goes beyond any other build system. We will finish with a taste of the future direction for native development.
