[QBS] Android support in Qbs

[Jake Petroules]

Hey,

So I’ve tried out the new Android support and so far there are some major issues (I think). Since I haven’t really used profile multiplexing yet, I’m not sure if how I’m invoking Qbs is correct:

qbs profile:android

With this I receive:

ERROR: /share/qbs/modules/cpp/linux-gcc.qbs:4 TypeError: Result of expression 'qbs.toolchain' [undefined] is not an object.

Maybe that’s a bug, but suppressing that I still receive an error when running:

qbs profile:android qbs.toolchain:gcc

ERROR: [REDACTED].qbs:3:1 Product dependency 'jsoncpp' not found for profile 'android'.

Since this is a closed source project I can’t really give a more concrete example, but even if I explicitly try to build jsoncpp (which is based on a StaticLibrary item) the build fails, even if the entire contents are removed:

// jsoncpp.qbs
import qbs
StaticLibrary {}
// jsoncpp.qbs

qbs -p jsoncpp profile:android qbs.toolchain:gcc

I thought this was the proper invocation for profile multiplexing, and I set up the Android profile with the qbs-setup-android tool which seemed to succeed and looks reasonable:

We should have more documentation in the Qbs manual on how to use profile multiplexing and/or Android build specifically, because if I as a Qbs developer don’t know how to use it, I doubt users will be able to figure it out intuitively.

PS - No “blubb” architecture - change that to “invalid” or something. :)
