Getting a strange error:

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform']
> Failed to apply plugin 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform'.
   > Circular evaluation detected: property(org.gradle.api.file.Directory, map(org.gradle.api.file.Directory <CIRCULAR REFERENCE> org.gradle.api.internal.file.DefaultFilePropertyFactory$PathToDirectoryTransformer@2b9dc739))
      -> map(org.gradle.api.file.Directory property(org.gradle.api.file.Directory, <CIRCULAR REFERENCE>) org.gradle.api.internal.file.DefaultFilePropertyFactory$PathToDirectoryTransformer@2b9dc739)
      -> property(org.gradle.api.file.Directory, map(org.gradle.api.file.Directory <CIRCULAR REFERENCE> org.gradle.api.internal.file.DefaultFilePropertyFactory$PathToDirectoryTransformer@2b9dc739))

My `build.gradle.kts`:

group = "com.martmists.skript"
version = "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

subprojects {
    group = rootProject.group
    version = rootProject.version
    layout.buildDirectory = rootProject.layout.buildDirectory.dir(name)

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        google()
    }
}

The subproject `build.gradle.kts`:

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform")
}

kotlin {
    linuxX64()
}

The buildSrc `build.gradle.kts`:

plugins {
    `kotlin-dsl`
}

repositories {
    gradlePluginPortal()
    mavenCentral()
    google()
    maven("<https://maven.martmists.com/releases|https://maven.martmists.com/releases>")
}

dependencies {
    implementation(kotlin("gradle-plugin", "2.0.20"))
}

Why do you set any build directory to the root directory that causes the circular dependency conflict?

And you don’t need the allprojects at all. Define the group and version in the root dir gradle.properties file and move the repository into the settings file
