post install step for cc_binary

[Abhayadev S]

Hi,

I have a cc_binary module (name myBin) defined in in a/b/Android.bp which is building fine and installs the binary in to out/..../system/bin/myBin

Now, every time the binary is built, i need to copy this binary in to another git repo project cloned in a/b/bins/ to keep the prebuilts

so, is there post build/install options i can use inside the Android.bp ?

regards,

abhay

No, the source tree should be considered read-only from within the build. I'd suggest doing this as a wrapper around the build, rather than inside the build. You can set up `dist` options so that `m ... dist` builds will copy artifacts (and logs -- it's meant to be used on build servers) to $DIST_DIR (defaults to out/dist/) after a build, but you'd still need something wrapping the build to put them where you wanted, so that may or may not simplify things.

Dan,

I was just trying out the "LOCAL_POST_INSTALL_CMD" (to execute some short shell scripts) and it works now in the Android.mk.

I could not find an equivalent for Android.bp though, do you know of any?

any way it works for now :)

cheers.
