I'm facing the following error while compiling kotlin-gradle-plugin.

Am i missing any dependency? Is that the reason for all unresolved references?

07/18/2020, 3:22 PMHi @edrd, I am compiling kotlin-1.3.30 to package it for Debian and it's distro(s).
Why only 1.3.30 and not the newer version?
The Gradle version in Debian is 4.4.1 which dosen't support kotlin dsl and hence we can't compile the kts files. The gradle can't be updated to the latest upstream version because it needs kotlin binaries itself. Hence, it is a circular dependency.
The kotlin-1.3.30 has least number of kts file and I converted those to groovy and hence, on compiling the kotlin-gradle-plugin I came across that error!
