cc_binary module name and binary name

[Abhayadev S]

Hi,

usually the name of the installed binary will be same as the module "name" but can we have 2 cc_binary modules defined to install a binary of same name but on a conditional PRODUCT_PACKAGES definition?

like a/Android.bp will define cc_binary with name : mymodule and it shall install myBin

and b/Android.bp will define cc_binary with name mymodule2 and it shall install myBin

and this will be controlled by a conditional PRODUCT_PACKAGES definition

PRODUCT_PACKAGES += mymodule  OR PRODUCT_PACKAGES += mymodule2

this is the install a binary (with same name) from 2 partners but based on a build condition/rule.

regards,

abhay

No, that's not possible, as the installation system still sets up the install rules for every module, so that the user can request a module to be installed even if it isn't in PRODUCT_PACKAGES.

Either have them named differently on the device, or use soong namespaces and the same module name(myBin) so that only one will ever be exported to Make at a time, that can be chosen through PRODUCT_SOONG_NAMESPACES (PRODUCT_PACKAGES would just have myBin in either case).

Thanks Dan, appreciate the support.

I will explore the namespace options...
