Heyyyy,
The first coding phase is officially over! :)
I would like to thank everyone who helped me till now directly or indirectly. Look forward to two more phases ahead o/
Coming back to WORK, Here's what I did! :D
The last couple of weeks have brought kotlin very near to upload.
The kotlin blockers are almost resolved.
Here's what I tried to do and what I achieved:
The pre-final stage was to build kotlin-gradle-plugin and kotlin-sam-with-receiver from the source package itself.
After digging deeper,
I found two workarounds for it.
- Converting kotlin buildSrc files for
embeddable.kt to make it compatible with groovy closures.
- Why not compile these jars from the kotlin-compiler instead of kotlin-compiler-embeddable?
On Testing both of the workarounds:
-
The first one compiles successfully for the plugin, but it ain't functional. It is not able to generate the runtime jars. Hence, this way isn't feasible.
-
For the second workaround for switching compiler-embeddable to the compiler, I changed some of the build.gradle function of required submodules. It took a while to make it free from compilation errors. But, it finally resulted in circular dependencies.
On sticking to the second workaround, I resolved those circular dependencies. :D
Finally, after the meeting and talking to m36 about some issues. (Thank you!) I was able to define the custom function and therefore I was able to compile "prepare/compiler-embeddable/build.gradle" successfully :)
Along with that following files are also compiled successfully.
- compiler-embeddable
- kotlin-native
- kotlin-annotation-processing
- kotlin-compiler-runner
- kotlin-scripting-embeddable
I hope to resolve it as well :D
Thanks and regards,
Samyak Jain
