A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

It's not well documented at all, but you do need to have curl installed ( how depends on the platform.). Some instructions are here: <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/tree/master/samples/libcurl>

right, on mac I do have curl installed, and it seems to include it in the build. The `ld` call breaks after I include the (correct afaik) dependency to the ktor client-engine

It could very well be something wrong with the version of curl on my system, I guess my next step will be to build my own `curl` and point to that.

I’m mostly perplexed at `ld` giving me nothing to work with, error message wise.

I’ll share what I find, thanks for the hints :slightly_smiling_face:

sorry I couldn't be of more help... But I can agree that the error messages are not too helpful. They seem to assume that you know what you need to do :slightly_smiling_face:

Little update, I got my `io.ktor:ktor-client-curl` mac executable to work.
For folks who might run into the same issue, my fix was to add `linkerOpts("-liconv")` via `macosX64.binaries.executable.linkerOpts("-liconv")`.

The concerning bit is that somehow the `ld` error messages _do_ show up when using an “older” setup (with kotlin 1.3.61 and ktor 1.3.1)
`ld` was erroring out without any feedback on kotlin `1.3.70-eap-274` with ktor `1.3.0-rc3-1.3.70-eap-42`.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I’d be happy to file an issue.
