Native from command line

• GOAL: kotlinc-native hello.kt -o hello
  • example: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/native/basic-kotlin-native-app.html
  • UNIX reference to get kotlinc-native binary: https://www.sakib.ninja/getting-started-with-kotlin-native/
  • trying the same on Windows...
    • download or Git clone: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native
    • BUILD FAILED, problem persist, give-up on 32 bit, seem to require 64bit java...
  • seems to be confirmed by this example https://follow-e-lo.com/2018/12/19/a-basic-kotlin-native-application/
    • goto https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/releases
    • Download the binary distribution from https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/tag/v1.3.31
      • file: kotlin-native-windows-1.3.31.zip (uncompress and add bin folder to environment var PATH)
    • get java 8 64bit!! https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
