gradle-metal

Gradle Metal is a suite of Gradle plugins for bare metal development, primarily design to support project Metal.

Features:

  • compile assembler, c and c sources (with support for c modules)

  • assemble applications and (static) libraries

  • cross-compilation support

  • compilation commands database support

  • source dependency on included project or build

  • binary dependency on prebuilt external project

  • LLVM tools

Warning
 This project is under early development. Compatibility will be broken without prior notice. In particular, we will not stabilize our Gradle dependency before Gradle 9.

A C++ library project with modules support is defined as simply as:

plugins {
    id("br.dev.pedrolamarao.metal.library")
    id("br.dev.pedrolamarao.metal.cxx")
}

library {
    compileOptions = listOf("-std=c++20")
}

Check the samples for a variety of use-cases.

Current requirements:

  • Gradle 8.10 or newer

  • JDK 17 or newer

  • LLVM 16 or newer (with clang, clang-scan-deps, lld, llvm-ar etc.)

To use the development version, you may install from source with ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal and configure your project’s settings like this:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
    }
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.id.startsWith("br.dev.pedrolamarao.metal.")) {
                useModule("br.dev.pedrolamarao.gradle.metal:plugins:0.6+")
            }
        }
    }
}

Under construction:

  • Gradle configuration cache support

  • build flavour (e.g. debug, release)

  • shared library

  • source dependencies on cmake project

  • binary dependencies from maven repository

  • GCC tools

  • MSVC tools
