Hello folks, I need a bit of help with ktor-client. I’m trying to write a very simple http-get call in a macos native app.
For the following dependencies:

val macosMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(kotlin("stdlib-common"))
                implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core-native:$coroutinesVersion")
                implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-core-macosx64:$ktorVersion")
                implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-curl:$ktorVersion")

I get a very terse e: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld invocation reported errors at the linkDebugExecutableMacos step.
FWIW, if I omit implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-curl:$ktorVersion") the linker at least manages to complete. (The executable crashes, ktor expects an engine, which should be ktor-client-curl from what I understand)

I’ve tried adding curl to the build with

macosX64("macos") {
        binaries {
            all {
                linkerOpts.add("-L/usr/local/opt/curl/lib")
                linkerOpts.add("-lcurl")

and that doesn’t seem to do any difference.

My first question is: What could I do to make ld a bit more verbose with it’s error message here? (Making gradle more verbose hasn’t helped)

Second question: Am I missing a dependency for ktor?

Any clues welcome. 🙂
