1 # CLion project generator 2 3 Soong can generate CLion projects. This is intended for source code editing 4 only. Build should still be done via make/m/mm(a)/mmm(a). 5 6 CMakeLists.txt project file generation is enabled via environment variable: 7 8 ```bash 9 $ export SOONG_GEN_CMAKEFILES=1 10 $ export SOONG_GEN_CMAKEFILES_DEBUG=1 11 ``` 12 13 You can then trigger a full build: 14 15 ```bash 16 $ make -j64 17 ``` 18 or build only the project you are interested in: 19 20 ```bash 21 $ make frameworks/native/service/libs/ui 22 ``` 23 24 Projects are generated in the ``out`` directory. In the case of libui, the path would 25 be: 26 27 ```bash 28 out/development/ide/clion/frameworks/native/libs/ui/libui-arm64-android/CMakeLists.txt 29 ``` 30 Note: The generator creates one folder per targetname-architecture-os combination. 31 In the case of libui you endup with two projects: 32 33 ```bash 34 $ ls out/development/ide/clion/frameworks/native/libs/ui 35 libui-arm64-android libui-arm-android 36 ``` 37 38 ### Edit multiple projects at once 39 To combine several projects into one, you can create super projects 40 and place them in: 41 42 ```bash 43 development/ide/clion/[PATH_YOU_WANT]/.. 44 ``` 45 46 These file will be symbolicaly linked in ``out/development/ide/clion``. All folders 47 will also be created there. 48 49 An example of a super project for surfaceflinger (using libui and libgui) 50 located in development/ide/clion/frameworks/native: 51 52 ``` 53 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6) 54 project(native) 55 add_subdirectory(services/surfaceflinger) 56 add_subdirectory(libs/ui/libui-arm64-android) 57 add_subdirectory(libs/gui/libgui-arm64-android) 58 ``` 59 60 61 ### Flattened filesystem 62 63 Upon opening a project it looks like all the folder structure has been 64 flattened: 65 66  67 68 This is because you need to change the project root. Via Tools > CMake > 69 Change Project Root: 70 71  72 73
