is_build_dep

This field controls whether modules that depend on or use this module wait for its build outputs before compiling.

Possible values: [true, false]. Defaults to false.

This is useful for modules with a custom build step that generates headers or source files needed by other modules.

Modules with download automatically have is_build_dep set to true.

Example:

modules:
  - name: code_generator
    is_build_dep: true
    build:
      cmd:
        - generate-headers --out build/${builder}/generated.h
      out:
        - build/${builder}/generated.h
