Is there a way to make a common `posix` source set...

# multiplatform

Is there a way to make a common posix source set that has access to platform.posix, which both macos and linux depend on? Or do I just have to copy-paste everything between the two source sets.

Edit: Seems like it's possible, but IntelliJ doesn't seem to like it.

My first take on solving this problem would be to create a Kotlin/Native library where the common code is in the nativeMain source set. Then both both your macos and linux source sets would have a dependency on this new native library.

AFAIK this will be supported in 1.3.20, for now you can use workaround like this:

sourceSets {
        linuxMain {
            kotlin.srcDir('src/posixMain/kotlin')
        }
        macosMain {
            kotlin.srcDir('src/posixMain/kotlin')
        }
    }

@serebit could you share your solution? I tried creating a new source set called "nativeMain" which Linux/Mac depend on, but I can't access kotlin.native... code in nativeMain.

I just used Mike’s workaround. Creating a nativeMain source set works with Gradle, but not IntelliJ.

So how about Gradle Koltin DSL?

Figured it out, but IDE can recognize it.
