im in a blank, brand new, up-to-the-minute intellij multiplatform gradle project. i'd really like to know how to start my maven-=based learning curve into this gradle system by importing kotlinx-io

[drew]

Github is filled with helpful mpp material: https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=kotlin+mpp&s=updated&type=Repositories

Drew, I'm trying to follow the kotlinx-io README.md file and also the multiplatform gradle and it looks like the author of kotlinx-io has skipped a few assumptions in the instructions to import

[jimn]

the kotlin index looks like a completely irrelevant and unhelpful peice of advice

[jimn]

[drew]

Generate a multiplatform project with Intellij IDEA and follow those instructions. What is the part giving you trouble?

[jimn]

'im in a blank, brand new, up-to-the-minute intellij multiplatform gradle project...' seems to follow your advice

[drew]

Which part of the setup…

[jimn]

the part where i can validate gradle and source code with kotlinx-io sample code

[jimn]

https://gist.github.com/jnorthrup/bb603d844ddfd9f4fa2b3509d3ccafe3 fails for whatever reason

[drew]

Could not find method compile() for arguments Try and replace compile with implementation

[jimn]

wouldnt the leaaf nodes use compile ?

[jimn]

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#adding-dependencies is a very large document/topic, and the intellij starter does not resemble the advice in this document

[jimn]

or for that matter, the README im following

[jimn]

looks like the sample code requries implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinxkotlinx coroutines io0.1.9'
but then intellij highlights this in red and suggests implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinxkotlinx coroutines io0.27.0-eap13'
and then the code breaks again.
