11/14/2018, 2:02 AMIs it the case that Kotlin/Native after 1.3.0 is now a part of kotlin-multiplatform and Gradle must be used to build an executable? Not that that is a bad thing, just more to learn before I can totally grok the moving pieces of a Kotlin/Native app.

11/14/2018, 2:05 AMGradle is only build system that supports multiplatform and there is a lot of tooling involved, you can build manually I belive, but it would be really tedious to configure and support

11/14/2018, 2:07 AMUnderstood. My only goal in removing Gradle is for learning. Wouldn’t dream of not using Gradle for anything production related.

11/14/2018, 2:08 AMAnyway, if you don’t need MPP, just native, you can download native binaries and build without build system:
https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/tag/v1.3.0

gildor
11/14/2018, 2:16 AMJust unzip it, there is

11/14/2018, 2:17 AMAlso, there is README about standalone compiler in repository and inside this distribution:

11/14/2018, 2:17 AMI dowloaded the compiler for macos. I will now try the macos native tar.gz file you linked to. That could be the issue.

11/14/2018, 2:18 AMcompiler for macos? do you mean
kotlin-compiler-1.3.0-release-macos-x64.zipp
pajatopmr
11/14/2018, 2:19 AMYes, that was my mistake. Now it works for me. Thanks!

11/14/2018, 3:04 AMGradle and kotlin-multiplatform must be used only if you want IDE support in IntelliJ or CLion. If all you want is command-line compiler - just download latest release bundle from kotlin-native repository.
