LOCAL_SOONG_INSTALL_SYMLINKS can now be set by the install_symlink module type. The install_symlink module type doesn't set LOCAL_SOONG_INSTALLED_MODULE because make tries to copy that file around, which doesn't work with a symlink. Bug: 205632228 Test: built and ran the emulator observed the /system/bin/hwservicemanager symlink is still there Change-Id: I1ec355b5ae057d0b7fe167674d70da6a4d03f6b5
Android Make Build System
This is the Makefile-based portion of the Android Build System.
For documentation on how to run a build, see Usage.txt
For a list of behavioral changes useful for Android.mk writers see Changes.md
For an outdated reference on Android.mk files, see build-system.html. Our Android.mk files look similar, but are entirely different from the Android.mk files used by the NDK build system. When searching for documentation elsewhere, ensure that it is for the platform build system -- most are not.
This Makefile-based system is in the process of being replaced with Soong, a new build system written in Go. During the transition, all of these makefiles are read by Kati, and generate a ninja file instead of being executed directly. That's combined with a ninja file read by Soong so that the build graph of the two systems can be combined and run as one.
