Building CRT for Kotlin/Native on Linux requires Docker images to be locally built and consumed. Before running the Gradle build for this project, ensure that Docker is installed and run:

./docker-images/build-all.sh

If you encounter this error:

Unable to find image 'aws-crt-kotlin/linux-x64:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for aws-crt-kotlin/linux-x64, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied.
See 'docker run --help'.

Then your Docker daemon may not be properly configured to allow non-root access. To allowlist your account for access to the Docker daemon, run:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

This repository makes use of Git submodules. The first time you clone the repository, you will also need to initialize the submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

1. Build the test executable(s) for the architecture(s) you want to test.

# build everything
./gradlew linuxTestBinaries

# build specific arch
./gradlew linuxX64TestBinaries

2. Use the run-container-test.py helper script to execute tests locally

OCI_EXE=docker python3 .github/scripts/run-container-test.py --distro al2 --arch x64 --test-bin-dir ./aws-crt-kotlin/build/bin

See the usage/help for different distributions provided: python3 .github/scripts/run-container.py -h

Xcode does not support simulator tests for <native target>

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':aws-crt-kotlin:iosX64Test'.
> Error while evaluating property 'device' of task ':aws-crt-kotlin:iosX64Test'.
   > Failed to calculate the value of task ':aws-crt-kotlin:iosX64Test' property 'device'.
      > Xcode does not support simulator tests for ios_x64. Check that requested SDK is installed.

Ensure that you have an appropriate simulator runtime installed.

e.g. to install iOS platform support including simulator runtimes:

xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS

List simulator runtimes with:

xcrun simctl list devices available

Building on Windows is slightly trickier and involves more prerequisites to configure the toolchain. There are slightly different steps depending on whether you intend to build from an MSYS2 MinGW64 terminal or from a PowerShell terminal:

• Install Git
  • You may also need to configure SSH access to GitHub.
• Install a distribution of JDK 17 or higher such as Amazon Corretto
  • Note that JDK 26+ is not supported yet due to the Kotlin Gradle plugin
• Install MSYS2
• Launch an MSYS2 MinGW64 terminal from the Start menu
• Install the MinGW64 toolchain: pacman -S --noconfirm mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

After following the Common Windows steps (terminal agnostic), in an MSYS2 MinGW64 terminal:

• Add Git and the JDK to the PATH environment variable:

  • echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/Git/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc

    ⚠️ Note: The exact path may differ on your system depending on how you installed Git

  • echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/Amazon Corretto/jdk25.0.3_9/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc

    ⚠️ Note: The exact path may differ on your system depending on which JDK distribution/version you installed

  • . ~/.bashrc

    This refreshes the PATH environment variable with the preceding updates

• Clone and build aws-crt-kotlin:

  cd <path/to/workspace>
  git clone git@github.com:aws/aws-crt-kotlin.git
  cd aws-crt-kotlin
  git submodule update --init --recursive
  ./gradlew build

After following the Common Windows steps (terminal agnostic), in a PowerShell terminal:

• Add Bash and MinGW to the PATH environment variable:

  • [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", $env:PATH + ";C:\msys64\usr\bin;C:\msys64\mingw64\bin", "Machine")

    ⚠️ Note: The exact path may differ on your system depending on how you installed MSYS2

• Configure MINGW_PREFIX environment variable:

  • [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("MINGW_PREFIX", "C:\msys64\mingw64", "Machine")

    ⚠️ Note: The exact path may differ on your system depending on how you installed MSYS2

• Close and restart the PowerShell terminal so that the environment variable updates take effect

• Clone and build aws-crt-kotlin:

  cd <path\to\workspace>
  git clone git@github.com:aws/aws-crt-kotlin.git
  cd aws-crt-kotlin
  git submodule update --init --recursive
  .\gradlew.bat build
