is androidx.compose already multiplatform? was surprised to see commonMain here

[jw]

Yes. It has been for over a year.

[jw]

Google only publishes an Android variant. JetBrains published JS and JVM and are starting to get ready to target Darwin-y targets.

[jw]

But you've been able to build for JS, JVM, and all native targets yourself for about a year

[xxfast]

What does this mean for compose-jb fork? Will it eventually be phased out if androidx.compose decides to publish other targets?

[jw]

We can only hope!

[Arkadii Ivanov]

There is no fork actually, isn't it? The development is being performed in the main androidx repository by both Google and JB teams. They both collaborate.

[jw]

Jetbrains works in a fork and occasionally upstreams things

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Where is the fork's code located?

[jw]

https://github.com/JetBrains/androidx/

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Thanks. That looks like a usual contribution to any repository on GitHub. Create a fork, submit PRs to the upstream. But yeah, it's a fork in fact. Thanks again.

[jw]

The upstream repository is not hosted on GitHub but rather Gerrit/gittiles as part of the Android Open Source Project

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Yup, GitHub androidx repo is just a mirror, perhaps for external contributions. It's synced to aosp. So the source of truth is still aosp.

Does the compose compiler plugin work on native targets already?

[Arkadii Ivanov]

It does, but nothing is officially announced yet (or I missed it) - https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/blob/master/experimental/examples/minesweeper/build.gradle.kts

I’m trying to run compose desktop headlessly on a server to generate images on demand using an endpoint. While running the service libskiko can’t find libGL.so. What linux packages does compose require to be installed?
