Hello,

I created a sourceSet called desktopMain like in this example

The problem I'm facing, is that platform.posix.popen and platform.posix.pclose are not available in the shared sourceSet.

Any idea why it is not resolved?

The build.gradle part:

val desktopMain by creating {
    dependsOn(commonMain)
}
val linuxX64Main by getting {
    dependsOn(desktopMain)
}
val mingwX64Main by getting {
    dependsOn(desktopMain)
}
val macosX64Main by getting {
    dependsOn(desktopMain)
}

code

actual fun runCommand(command: String) {
    system(command)
}
actual fun awaitCommand(
    command: String
): String {
    val fp = popen(command, "r") ?: error("Failed to run command: $command")
    val buffer = ByteArray(4096)
    val returnString = StringBuilder()
    var scan = fgets(buffer.refTo(0), buffer.size, fp)
    if (scan != null) {
        while (scan != NULL) {
            returnString.append(scan!!.toKString())
            scan = fgets(buffer.refTo(0), buffer.size, fp)
        }
    }
    val status = pclose(fp)
    if (status != 0) {
        error("Command $command failed with status $status")
    }
    return returnString.toString()
}

system call works

I'm not sure, but maybe popen and pclose are not supported in mingw.
Does it work if comment out mingw support?

@msink I tried again today, looks like popen and pclose work on linux and macos
For mingw I have to use _popen and _pclose, don't know why.
