Building Modern Native Applications with Gradle
summary
Shows concrete Gradle scripts that build C and C++ executables and both static and shared libraries using native executable spec and native library spec, runs Google Test by fetching and building its source with CMake, and composes multi-project builds that link a hello app to a printline library and produce a zip distribution. Demonstrates Gradle wrapper bootstrapping, daemon speed, artifact caching for CI, basic C/C++/Rust cross-platform toolchain configuration, and notes missing Conan integration; all examples compile and run during the demo.
