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

[Etienne]

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.

[Etienne]

I’ll share what I find, thanks for the hints 🙂

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 🙂

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.
