Hello, I'm trying to use '*cinterop*' tool (from this tutorial: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-c-interop.html#simple-example) to see how static C bindings would look like. I made a single C function, and def file and I call from within cinterop folder:

[ridicolous relative path].konan/kotlin-native-prebuilt-macos-aarch64-1.7.20/bin/cinterop -def App.def

and I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: /var/folders/80/ncv5m6mj2yq0zg6nnn0cl46c0000gn/T/8421264523268807030.c:1:10: fatal error: 'App.h' file not found

I called it from the folder where 'App.h' is located, and I have no idea about this path in error message. Does cinterop supposed to work on macOS right now? How can I make my chances of success better :x

cinterop works on macOS for sure! So something else must be wrong You need to tell cinterop where to look for

App.h

with a linkerOpt that starts with

-L

linkerOpts = -L/relative/path/to/dir-that-contains-headers/

What’s the content of

App.def

? Also, how did you install Kotlin Native? If you use Homebrew then you can just call

cinterop

without the ridiculous relative path

oh, I've seen that's "android studio and kotlin MP plugin" is best way to go, so it comes from plugin files I belive. I didn't try to use homebrew to get an instance of cinterop

no problem! I have Java 11, but I think any above 8 and below 17 should work
