[cmake-developers] Android Support

[Florent Castelli]

That’s great to know, thanks!
Is there any plan on having their toolchain in CMake directly at some point?

I’m afraid that even if they update their options to use the upstream support, they may not allow using those options directly and we’ll still have to support 2 toolchains.
That’s especially true if you chose not to build with Gradle but a standalone CMake build (using upstream) and then don’t have access to their toolchain file.
