Make build configuration options explicit and document their version dependencies. When introducing configuration parameters that are version-specific, clearly indicate compatibility requirements and provide command-line options to make constraints optional when appropriate. For example, instead of hardcoding checks or settings: ```python # Not recommended: Hardcoded check with no option to disable check_have_ipp_flag(os.path.join(builder.libdest, "CMakeVars.txt")) # Better approach: Make the check configurable if args.strict_dependencies: check_have_ipp_flag(os.path.join(builder.libdest, "CMakeVars.txt")) # When defining version-specific configurations, document requirements # and use proper syntax ABI("3", "arm64-v8a", None, 21, cmake_vars=dict( # Supported in Android NDK r27 and higher, ignored in earlier versions ANDROID_SUPPORT_FLEXIBLE_PAGE_SIZES='ON' )) ``` This approach ensures that configuration options remain flexible while clearly communicating version requirements to developers, preventing unexpected behavior across different environments.
