I have a buildozer project that has custom python-for-android recipes in the directory p4a/recipes/.
One of my recipes needs some debugging, and I don't want to rebuild python and all these other programs every time I want to rebuild it.
I've tried buildozer android p4a -- clean_recipe_build recipe-name but it doesn't find it (running recipes shows only the vanilla recipes, not my custom ones).
What should I do?
Apparently there's an undocumented argument --local-recipes that solves it. But since we're running under buildozer that changes the working dir before running p4a, we have to supply an absolute path:
buildozer android p4a -- clean_recipe_build recipe-name --local-recipes ~/p4a/recipes/
And now it works (but note that the docs warn some misbehaviours by recipes would require a full clean, so if things keep being weird, just p4a -- clean). Also, note the --, it's important, and once again - the path must be absolute and not relative.
