I am trying to get to run this simple command inside the Android.mk to create .cc and .hh files out of the comm.proto file given below, which is needed for my c++ library to be built.
$(shell $(LOCAL_PATH)/ext/bin/protoc
--proto_path=$(LOCAL_PATH)/comm
--cpp_out=$(LOCAL_PATH)/comm
$(LOCAL_PATH)/comm/comm.proto )
I have all the necessary files kept in the directory structure as mentioned in my command.
My Questions are:
1.Is it a valid way to run commands inside Android.mk?
2.Also, once this works is there a way I can make sure that this command is run only when comm.proto file has changed?(Any timestamp based approach)
