In reference to the quoted post shown at the bottom of this one, I think I've gotten closer, but I may have incorrect syntax. Right now my build.gradle looks like this:

plugins {
    id "kotlin-multiplatform" version "1.3.21"
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

kotlin {
    mingwX64("mingw") {
        compilations.main {
            outputKinds("executable")
            entryPoint "classes.main"
        }
    }
    sourceSets {
        mingwMain {
            dependencies {
                implementation fileTree(include: ['*.klib'], dir: 'libs')
            }

        }
        mingwTest {}
    }
}

task runProgram {
    println("getLibsDirName = "+getLibsDirName())
    def buildType = "RELEASE" // Change to 'DEBUG' to run application with debug symbols.
    dependsOn kotlin.targets.mingw.compilations.main.linkTaskName("EXECUTABLE", buildType)
    doLast {
        def programFile = kotlin.targets.mingw.compilations.main.getBinary("EXECUTABLE", buildType)
        exec {
            executable programFile
            args ""
        }
    }
}

and my settings.gradle looks like this:

pluginManagement {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.id == "kotlin-multiplatform") {
                useModule("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:${requested.version}")
            }
        }
    }
}
rootProject.name = 'gearNet'
includeBuild './src/libs'

Any advice on how to get my project to recognize and implement ./src/libs/kwinhelp.klib within my project? Any advice or even a direction on where to look for an answer is very much appreciated.

Is ./src/libs/kwinhelp.klib created from another local multiplatform project?

[azeDevs]

If it was, I don't have access to it locally. libs/kwinhelp.klib was committed to the project by a collaborator.

[Dominaezzz]

Oh, was going to suggest publishing to local maven repo. Oh well.

[Dominaezzz]

What you have looks correct. How is it not working specifically? Not building, gradle sync failed, IDE doesn't give intellisense, .... ?

[azeDevs]

It builds/syncs, no intellisense though on the classes that would import parts of the klib

[Dominaezzz]

Try implementation files('src/libs/kwinhelp.klib') ?

[Dominaezzz]

Does the klib show up in the External Libraries drop down?

[azeDevs]

implementation files('src/libs/kwinhelp.klib') did the trick for a majority of the imports! I think I need to add a JVM as a dependency too though for the last few. Any advice on how I might add that too?

[Dominaezzz]

What do you mean add a JVM? You want to add a jvm target in addition to your mingw target?

[azeDevs]

Yes (apologies, I'm quite new to this and am slowly getting the terminology down)

[azeDevs]

I guess if that's what's needed to import something like java.nio.ByteBuffer

[Dominaezzz]

In the kotlin block,

jvm()

sourceSets {
    jvmMain {
         dependencies {
                .....
         }
    }
}

[Dominaezzz]

Yes

There's some docs here if you haven't seen it already. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#setting-up-a-multiplatform-project

awesome, thank you for the help!
