While trying to plug a custom build system using the steps listed in the following page (https://developer.android.com/build/cxx-ninja#alternative-build-method) I've run into the following problems:

• Not directly matching one of the params listed ("-p:Platform=Foo", "-p:Configuration=Bar") exactly results in an error.

  • For example:
    • [bug 213607318] Ninja-generating script must accept a parameter the defines the target Configuration name. Currently accepted examples are: -p:Configuration=Debug, -p:NinjaProject=Teapots, and /DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel Please refer to bug https://issuetracker.google.com/213607318 for more information.
  • Because of this using your own generator is painful since I need now support directly options form ninja or cmake (however using CMake's mentioned options also seems to not be accepted)

• The generated command file is NOT a valid batch script, calling it directly fails with the following error:

  • "{ninja.configure}" ^
      "{ninja.path}" ^
      configure ^
      "-p:Configuration=release" ^
      "-p:Platform=arm64-v8a"
     from <path>\build\android_gradle\simple
     =release"" was unexpected at this time.
    

The configuration is the following:

            experimentalProperties["ninja.abiFilters"] = listOf("arm64-v8a")
            experimentalProperties["ninja.path"] = "arbitrary_file"
            experimentalProperties["ninja.configure"] = "command"
            experimentalProperties["ninja.arguments"] = listOf(
                    "\${ndk.moduleMakeFile}",
                    "configure",
                    "-p:Configuration=\${ndk.variantName}",
                    "-p:Platform=\${ndk.abi}"

Any help resolving the issues either by workarounds or ideas would help a lot! Thanks in advance!
