- Dependency are installed "striped".
- Our project are build "debugoptimized" by default and "release" when
building release instead of "debug"
We need to update the `base_deps_meta_version` as we are changing how
dependencies are compiled.
This is the big change !!!!
Instead of handling target as primary object and prepare/build targets,
we are handling build steps.
A build step may be a source (preparation) or a build (of the source).
Actualy, a step is a tuple (context, Builder or Source).
The context define the context of the step. It can be :
- 'source', for a Source step
- 'neutral' or the name of a platform for Build step.
Target becomes a "Class only" class.
Sometime the root_path is dependent of the target platform and sometime
not. But sometime dependent of the build arch :/
[TODO] We should move the cross_file generation to the PlatformInfo class.
Introduce also a "NeutralEnv", a build environment independent of the
targeted platform. All `Source` now build using the neutralEnv.
Most of toolchains are also using neutralEnv except android_ndk who is
specific to a platform.
As toolchain are neutral, platform specific environment variables are now
set by the platformInfo directly instead of the toolchain.
