I was forced to manually do update the following files, because otherwise they would be ignored according .gitignore settings. Probably they should be deleted from repo. Interop/.idea/compiler.xml Interop/.idea/gradle.xml Interop/.idea/libraries/Gradle__org_jetbrains_kotlin_kotlin_runtime_1_0_3.xml Interop/.idea/libraries/Gradle__org_jetbrains_kotlin_kotlin_stdlib_1_0_3.xml Interop/.idea/modules.xml Interop/.idea/modules/Indexer/Indexer.iml Interop/.idea/modules/Runtime/Runtime.iml Interop/.idea/modules/StubGenerator/StubGenerator.iml backend.native/backend.native.iml backend.native/bc.frontend/bc.frontend.iml backend.native/cli.bc/cli.bc.iml backend.native/cli.bc/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/cli/bc/K2Native.kt backend.native/cli.bc/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/cli/bc/K2NativeCompilerArguments.kt backend.native/tests/link/lib/foo.kt backend.native/tests/link/lib/foo2.kt backend.native/tests/teamcity-test.property

Kotlin/Native
Kotlin/Native is an LLVM backend for the Kotlin compiler, runtime implementation, and native code generation facility using the LLVM toolchain.
Kotlin/Native is primarily designed to allow compilation for platforms where virtual machines are not desirable or possible (such as iOS or embedded targets), or where a developer is willing to produce a reasonably-sized self-contained program without the need to ship an additional execution runtime.
Prerequisites:
- install JDK for your platform, instead of JRE. The build requires
tools.jar, which is not included in JRE; - on macOS install Xcode 11 (Xcode 12.0 is required to compile Kotlin/Native from sources)
- on Fedora 26+
yum install ncurses-compat-libsmay be needed - on recent Ubuntu
apt install libncurses5is needed
To compile from sources use following steps:
First, download dependencies:
./gradlew dependencies:update
Then, build the compiler and libraries:
./gradlew bundle
To build with experimental targets support compile with -Porg.jetbrains.kotlin.native.experimentalTargets.
The build can take about an hour on a Macbook Pro. To run a shorter build with only the host compiler and libraries, run:
./gradlew dist distPlatformLibs
To include Kotlin compiler in composite build and build
against it, use the kotlinProjectPath project property:
./gradlew dist -PkotlinProjectPath=path/to/kotlin/project
It's possible to include in a composite build both Kotlin compiler and Kotlin/Native Shared simultaneously.
After that, you should be able to compile your programs like this:
export PATH=./dist/bin:$PATH
kotlinc hello.kt -o hello
For an optimized compilation, use -opt:
kotlinc hello.kt -o hello -opt
For tests, use:
./gradlew backend.native:tests:run
To generate interoperability stubs, create a library definition file
(refer to samples/tetris/.../sdl.def), and run the cinterop tool like this:
cinterop -def lib.def
See the provided samples and INTEROP.md for more details.
The Interop tool generates a library in the .klib library format. See LIBRARIES.md
for more details on this file format.
