What's equivalent of the groovy gradle JNI configuration in kotlin gradle script?

Question

I'm having hard time converting the following groovy script to a kotlin script (build.gradle -> build.gradle.kts).

model {
    components {
        main(NativeExecutableSpec) {
            sources {
               // ...
            }
        }
    }
}

All the docs I found Build native software, Setup JNI development in Gradle project all have groovy syntax, but none of them have kotlin syntax. Tried finding on other OS projects but found nothing.

I was trying to find some of the type info to get some clue:

And trying out the stuff in kts:

val model by tasks.getting(ModelReport::class) {
    components {
        // ...
    }
}

But seems like there's no property called components in that object.

Basically can't figure out anything on my own now, if somebody can help it will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

The old native plugin that you try to use (c) usees the rule-based software model. Those plugins are (or will be) deprecated and instead the replacements like cpp-library should be used.

The tutorial link you posted also has a link to an example of how to use the replacement plugins in Groovy DSL that you should be able to port to Kotlin DSL easily.

Besides that, https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html states in the section "Limitations":

The Kotlin DSL will not support the model {} block, which is part of the discontinued Gradle Software Model. However, you can apply model rules from scripts — see the model rules sample for more information.
