I currently have some problems with using kotlin native with gradle in IDEA. What I am trying to do is to create a bridge between different languages using C API. I have this API in separate module. In kotlin-native module I have a

def

file in

src/main/c_interop

and expect to place kotlin files in

src/main/kotlin

. Now, I have a few problems. 1)

def

file does not accept relative header names. I have to declare absolute ones, which is not convenient. I remember seeing something about it in issues. Are there any fixes? 2)

src/main/kotlin

is not marked as a source tree. I can mark it myself in idea module options, but it resets itself after gradle sync. 3) generated interop headers are placed in build directory. I can't understand how to access them without creating a copy in the source tree. 4) IDE does not seem to recognize

konan

and

kotlinx.cinterop

packages. How can I load those. Can I do it at all?

1) please use compiler options to specify library search path, like in https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/1399ac9777a56f7263611fe2eac59b71b1a7f415/samples/videoplayer/build.gradle#L26

Kotlin/Native has a preview support in CLion (including code completion/navigation for interop libraries) so you may use it. Here are some details: https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2017/11/kotlinnative-ide-support-preview/ Note that CLion uses CMake as a build system. You may translate your Gradle project into a CMake one by running

generateCMake

gradle task. Please try using CLion and give us feedback on it.
