Hi everyone!
I've recently made *<https://github.com/lemcoder/KonanPlugin|KonanPlugin>* :tada: — a custom Gradle plugin to simplify C/C++ compilation to make working with CInterop in Kotlin Native projects more enjoyable.

*Features:*
• Compiles C/C++ sources into object files (.o).
• Links them into static libraries (.a).
• Works seamlessly with all Kotlin/Native targets.
The plugin is available on <https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/io.github.lemcoder.konanplugin|gradle portal>
:hammer_and_wrench: For full setup and examples, check out the README: <https://github.com/lemcoder/KonanPlugin>

Feedback and contributions are welcome. :blush:

Thanks! The aim was to have a single codebase with kotlin and C sources.
After compiling C sources to static libraries you can CInterop them and statically link them to your kotlin native code so the consumers of your library/module do not have to provide the implementations for the CInteropped code :raised_hands:

The example -> <https://github.com/lemcoder/MikroSoundFont>

I’m definitely giving this a try! Kudos!

This is cool. I'm wondering if maybe this could be extended to also support compiling C/C++ for the JVM?

C++ is a pain. It is not covered by CInterop and is not interoperable in general.

You didn't make this. This code is copied from my gist
