Has anyone been able to get cross compilation running (MacOS-ARM => Linux64)?

[Brian Estrada]

I’m using the ktor curl client, not having too much luck there as it requires the curl lib but that isn’t being found

ld.lld: error: unable to find library -lcurl

I'm afraid it's not possible because it uses the host dynamic lib. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-2186/Statically-link-curl-in-published-klibs

(it is a trauma coming from the Maven + JVM ecosystem).

this explained the last 2 hours for me 😆

[Brian Estrada]

thank you for linking this 🙏

It should be possible to run docker container with linux, and make libs directory from it available for K/N compiler.

[Brian Estrada]

yeah I tried somethnig like this

[Brian Estrada]

FROM gradle:7.4.2-jdk17-alpine AS build
COPY --chown=gradle:gradle . /home/gradle/src
WORKDIR /home/gradle/src
RUN gradle linuxX64Binaries --no-daemon

[Brian Estrada]

didn’t really work out tho, it was just stuck building but not sure if gradle is the correct way to be building it

You still need to install libcurl in the dockerfile

[msink]

of course - install libcurl with all dependencies in docker, then copy /lib, /usr/lib (or whatever that linux distribution uses for libs) to host fs, and then point K/N to it by -L option.
