Android Studio CMake does not build executables and CMAke variable LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH does not work

[savi]

Hi,

I am trying to build a simple Hello-Cmake project using this android studio cmake example. I am able to successfully build libnative-lib.so, however when I set  SET(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/lib),libnative-lib.so does not get created in this location instead it gets created in the default CMake build directory.

The second thing I am trying is to build an executable called libtest using CMake. I am using the hello-world-introductions-to-cmake, I am importing libtestStudent.so and building a libtest executable. However when I build my project in gradle, build is successful, but I do not see this executable being built. What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to build executables using CMake in android studios?

My CKameLists.txt looks like this:

# For more information about using CMake with Android Studio, read the
# documentation: https://d.android.com/studio/projects/add-native-code.html
 
# Sets the minimum version of CMake required to build the native library.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.4.1)
project (hello-cmake)
# Creates and names a library, sets it as either STATIC
# or SHARED, and provides the relative paths to its source code.
# You can define multiple libraries, and CMake builds them for you.
# Gradle automatically packages shared libraries with your APK.

SET(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin)
SET(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/lib)

set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE on)

include_directories(src/main/cpp)

add_library(libtestStudent SHARED IMPORTED)
set_target_properties(libtestStudent PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LOCATION ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/libs/libtestStudent.so)

add_executable(libtest src/main/cpp/libtest.cpp)
target_link_libraries(libtest libtestStudent)

add_library( # Sets the name of the library.
             native-lib

             # Sets the library as a shared library.
             SHARED

             # Provides a relative path to your source file(s).
             src/main/cpp/native-lib.cpp )

# Searches for a specified prebuilt library and stores the path as a
# variable. Because CMake includes system libraries in the search path by
# default, you only need to specify the name of the public NDK library
# you want to add. CMake verifies that the library exists before
# completing its build.

find_library( # Sets the name of the path variable.
              log-lib

              # Specifies the name of the NDK library that
              # you want CMake to locate.
              log )

# Specifies libraries CMake should link to your target library. You
# can link multiple libraries, such as libraries you define in this
# build script, prebuilt third-party libraries, or system libraries.

target_link_libraries( # Specifies the target library.
                       native-lib

                       # Links the target library to the log library
                       # included in the NDK.
                       ${log-lib} )
