How can my app code access to the files added as

src/commonMain/resources

from native executable built as

binaries.executable()

?

I'd assume in the same way you'd access embedded resources in c (is that even possible?)

Do you mean, using C fucntions like

fopen()

? But I don't see my resources under

build/bin

etc. Is it bundled in

.kexe

?

No, fopen is for normal files only. I was wondering if c has some sort of flows for accessing embedded files. Something like jvm's loadResourceFromClasspath()

Yeah that would resolve the problem, if exists.

Here's something I've found for cpp https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1074362/embedded-resource-in-c#1074911

lol

no, there's nothing like this for cross-platform C

Then you could just copy processedResources into the binary directory and open them up via fopen

the trick I've used is equivalent to https://csl.name/post/embedding-binary-data/

Well, yeah I don't think I'm going to hack kotlinc or klib to embed resources into .kexe. Copying resources to each build output directory would suffice. That seems an overlooked task at kotlin gradle plugin though.

Indeed. It's still fairly recently that they've fixed it for js. Might be worth raising an issue or a PR for native too.

yup, am looking at youtrack now. Thanks folks.

Any progress here ? 🤔

You should ask JetBrains devs via youtrack, maybe not those who submitted the issues?
