Create jar from desktop jetpack compose project - kotlin

Question

Can't create Jar file for Kotlin desktop project using Jetpack Compose.
I have 2 launchers: one with JavaFx and socond with Compose. The one with JavaFx is working fine. But When I try to execute Compose version of Jar - I'm getting error:
P:\IntelijIDEAProjects\cliker\clicker\app\build\libs>java -jar app-1.1-COMPOSE.jar

Running project from Main class is working fine.
My goal is to build .exe file of this project. Perhaps there is any other ways?
The project available on github: https://github.com/HermanAleksey/BloodWebPumper

You got this error message because you have not bundled the native Skiko dll. I would not recommend building a jar or an exe. Just follow this tutorial from Jetbrains https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/tutorials/Native_distributions_and_local_execution to build a native installer for your platform.
