korge-next: am trying to build for targets other than JVM.
• macosX64 does not seem to work,
• mobile targets are missing
are these not yet supported ?

[RezMike]

yeah, these targets are not supported in korge-next yet

[Dave]

😞

[Dave]

what is missing? is it something I can contribute to?

[Dave]

e.g. thew macos tgt builds and I can build my app against it....it just fails at runtime. do you know what is missing?

and if I just enable the gradle/kotlin config for the mobile targets...might they work?

or is there much code that is missing for these targets?

[RezMike]

I don't know much about it, @Deactivated User is the expert here

[Deactivated User]

Actually, the missing thing is is gradle plugin that generated all the required stuff and tasks. It was started from scratch grabbing some code from the old plugin

[Dave]

Is something special needed? I thought the kotlin mpp does all that is necessary

[Deactivated User]

Well I generated the project, a bootstrap function to support suspend fun entrypoint, and generated some things like the icon, etc.

[Deactivated User]

this is the old code

[Deactivated User]

in fact, maybe we can just copy the old code from the gradle plugin and try to adjust it to work with kotlin 1.4

[Deactivated User]

but didn't do yet. I just started with less code to get it working on 1.4 eaps, but maybe we can backport all that

[Dave]

suspend fun entry point, icons, etc, sound like application specific things.
Very useful, but are they really needed for building the base korlib libraries ?

[RezMike]

well, all the libraries have the same basic goal - to be used in korge game engine

[RezMike]

and suspend fun entry point is needed for korge, that's why it is necessary to implement it

[Dave]

that does not really answer my question.
I agree, it sounds useful for an end application.
I don't see why it is needed for building the korlib libraries?

[RezMike]

the korge gradle plugin is designed to build all the korlib libraries, including korge

[RezMike]

you can't just throw away the support for building korge from it

[Deactivated User]

For just building the libraries, you only need to add the targets and publish to maven local. Thats mostly one or two lines. For korge games it is required.

[Dave]

Ok. Thanks. That makes sense
