Dynamic "depends" for debug/release builds
Hi,
I've got Java code that makes use of JNI so my build process is slightly
different depending on whether debug or release is being built. I'd like to
define the following ant target:
<target name="dist" depends="compile.${config}"/>
<target name="compile.debug"/>
<target name="compile.release/>
where config = debug or release. When I tried this Ant complained
"compile.${config}" does not exist in this config. If I use <antcall> the
target gets invoked just fine but then any properties declared by the target
get lost when the call returns.
Can someone please suggest a clean/simple way to do this?
Thank you,
Gili

Have your "dist" task first depend upon a "config-test". The only
purpose of the "config-test" task is to look at the value of ${config}
and see if it is set to "debug". If it is, you set a flag called
"is.debug". Then, you can use the "if" and "unless parameters of the
<target> task to see if this is a debug or release.
<!-- Default target: Must test whether this is a debug or release build -->
<!-- by looking at the value of ${config}. Then, either run the
compile-debug -->
<!-- or the compile-release tasks, but not both. -->
<target name="dist"
depends="config-test,compile-debug,compile-release>
<blah, blah, blah/>
</target>
<!-- Test to see whether this is a debug or release type of build -->
<target name="config-test">
<condition property="is.debug">
<equals arg1="${config}" arg2="debug"/>
</condition>
</target>
<!-- Run either the compile-debug or compile-release, but not both -->
<target name=compile-debug
if="is.debug">
<blah, blah, blah/>
</target>
<target name=compile-release
unless="is.debug">
<blah, blah, blah>
</target>

Something along the lines of:
<target name="dist" depends="compile"/>
<target name="compile" depends="-compile, compile.debug, compile.release"/>
<target name="-compile">
<condition property="debug.config">
<equals arg1="debug" arg2="${config}" />
</condition>
<condition property="release.config">
<equals arg1="release" arg2="${config}" />
</condition>
</target>
<target name="compile.debug" if="debug.config"/>
<target name="compile.release" if="release.config"/>
This scales to more configs. If you have only two configs, a single
var and if/unless would do.
This is all on top of my head, so actual syntax may need to be corrected. --DD
