Kotlin/Native Builder

This non-official application makes it simpler to update the Kotlin/Native compiler by building based off your Kotlin Java compiler version and skipping all the tedious stuff.

Prerequisites

You need to install Java Runtime Environment and the Kotlin Compiler (check if you can run kotlinc-jvm) to run this program.

Install and run

Powershell

Install from GitHub:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/joshua-kent/native-build.git

Run program:

cd native-build\out\artifacts\native_build_jar
java -jar native-build.jar

If you don't want the source code, you can now run this to remove the repository that was just installed (the program will be installed in C:\kotlin-native and added to path anyway):

cd ~
ri native-build -recurse -force

How to use

If you have already run the program using the instructions above, it will now be copied into C:\kotlin-native and added to path via a batch file. This means that to run again, you can simply use:

native-build

In the future, functionality may be added to run commands such as native-build -update to update the utility itself.
