hello, i have another question on kotlin native and gradle. this is my current build.gradle.kts

kotlin {
    linuxX64("native") {
        binaries {
            executable()
        }
    }

    mingwX64("native") {
        binaries {
            executable()
        }
    }
}

is this the correct way to define multiple targets? if so, how do i run gradle to compile for both platforms? there is an error when i run gradle nativeBinaries : The target 'native' already exists, but it was not created with the 'mingwX64' preset. To configure it, access it by name in kotlin.targets or use the preset function 'linuxX64'.

I have no idea about Kotlin native, but interpreting the error message, you cannot name both native, so pick unique names.

[ephemient]

correct, multiple targets cannot have the same name. unless you have multiple targets of the same type, I would leave the name out completely; it'll use the default names, same as linuxX64("linuxX64") and mingwX64("mingwX64").

thank you, so if i want to compile for linux, what gradle command should i run?

[ephemient]

depends, possibly one of

./gradlew linkDebugExecutableLinuxX64
./gradlew linkReleaseExecutableLinuxX64

or just run

./gradlew assemble

which builds everything, just like in all Gradle projects

[cheeze2000]

i see, thanks!

just like in all Gradle projects
just like in most typical Gradle projects

[ephemient]

that's fair. I wanted to say "like in most sane Gradle projects" but ended up taking the value judgement out which made it a bit too general
