It doesn't really make sense to incur the cost of running Soong tests to Bazel users. We can shave off 20 seconds from the local critical path during clean builds (or if Soong itself has changed) by enabling --skip-soong-tests in the b command. Test: b build '...' Test: b build '...' --run-soong-tests Bug: 240231596 Change-Id: I2325e1992099534b41ae996cee99e126a12f3c62
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For an outdated reference on Android.mk files, see build-system.html.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.
