Question

Noticed that the KotlinX Coroutines library provides artifacts for the linuxX64 target but not for the other Linux targets eg linuxArm32Hfp Why is linuxX64 the only supported Linux target

Sounds like the comment is referring to the Android targets The plain Linux targets excluding the Android ones do software builds differently With the Linux Arm based targets not the Android ones testing can either be done via QEMU or on a Arm based computer eg a SBC like a Raspberry Pi or Beagle Bone Black for instance via SSH The testing method that is used will heavily depend on the software being tested aka a depends type answer simple smile

For the QEMU option the buildroot would be setup in a similar way as described in this article <http shallowsky com blog linux raspbian virtual on x86 html>

A basic shell script for cleaning up a Linux Arm buildroot

napperley · Answer

Setting up a Linux Arm buildroot is easier than many people might think If anything it is a reasonably straightforward process After the image is mounted the def files in a Kotlin Native project use the mount point as the base for include and linker paths

Below is a def file example for the curl library ```headers = curl h linkerOpts linux = lcurl linkerOpts linux arm32 hfp = L mnt pi image usr lib arm linux gnueabihf linkerOpts linux x64 = L usr lib x86 64 linux gnu```

Below is a Gradle build example ``` linuxArm32Hfp linuxArm32 compilations getByName main cinterops create modbus includeDirs mnt pi image usr include modbus cinterops create curl includeDirs mnt pi image usr include arm linux gnueabihf curl ```
