Ah, darn. On MacOS, assemble cuts down drastically for me.

Let me try

I even ran it 3 times with each just to make sure. But now I'm second guessing and need to make what I submitted is still improved 🙂

sounds good! another suggestion for the contributing docs: i had to add

KOBALT_JAR=$PROJECT_LIBS_DIR/kobalt-1.0.59.jar

to

Environment variables

in order for the

Build.kt

in the external project to see a directive i added

I definitely do see an improvement on OS X, on my box, at least. It's pretty stable at reducing the time down. I'll see if I can look at what's going on on Windows.

No improvement on MacOS either: 38s + 35s

Well, that's really odd.

Why does it do so much better on mine?

Are you running --noIncremental?

His machines are fast, I don't get the compile times he gets on anything.

I clean first

That's all I can think of.

Maybe my computers just old and slow

I was hoping it would improve the general case. Ah well.

Well, thanks for taking it. It does help on my rust bucket machine at least

I'll try on my slower Windows laptop too

This is what I do to test again my own versions of Kobalt:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
JAR=$(ls -1 -t /k/GitHub/kobalt/kobaltBuild/libs/*.jar | egrep -v "(sources|javadoc)" | head -1)
export KOBALT_JAR=$JAR
java -jar $JAR $*

I called it

kokbaltw-test

Oh nice.

even better. 😉

okay i've got my kotlin/native plugin working with

KotlinPlugin

. you can set which platform it runs via

kotlinCompiler { platform = KotlinPlatform.NATIVE }

, and by default it chooses java.

im sure its all integrated terribly wrong, but it was a fun excercise anyway 🙂

Wow that was fast!

So you generate native code now with that?

yeah, for now its just dumping the exe into kobaltBuild/classes. probably needs an IAssemble plugin or something to copy it to the out dir

No worries, I can polish that

That's what they said in Poland before the civil unrest, just saying. 😉

its here if anyone wants to play with it: https://github.com/kyonifer/kobalt/tree/kotlin_native

it builds the

kobalt -i kotlin

template out of the box with two changes: 1) set

kotlinCompiler { platform = KotlinPlatform.NATIVE }

like above, 2) remove the

package

line at the top of com/example/Main.kt (looks like konanc doesnt like the main to be in a namespace)

oh yeah, and you'll need to add whatever directory your kotlin-native install is at to the list at https://github.com/kyonifer/kobalt/blob/kotlin_native/src/main/kotlin/com/beust/kobalt/plugin/kotlin/KotlinNativeCompiler.kt#L110 . There's a todo to make that settable but i dont know what the right solution is for getting kobalt to find the kotlin-native stuff

probably have to look at how they did it with gradle, maybe theres some maven artifacts that could be pulled
