I have a project that builds to linux for x11 and wayland. Each of those need different cinterop library definitions. So i thought it's a good idea to split each c library into its own definition file, so i could cherry pick what i need for each target.
Like i'd have one xcb.def (used for x11), one cairo.def (used for both x11 and wayland), and a pango.def (also used for both targets). The issue is that a part of the cairo library (which i will extract into its own def file), links against xcb. So if i create its own file for this, the package will be a different one, and in code, i end up with 2 interop types in different packages which are basically the same. So a function from the cairo package might require cairo.xcb_visualtype_t instead of a xcb.xcb_visualtype_t and i have no idea how to tell it that it should use the one from the xcb namespace instead.

There is probably a really easy way to solve this, but i don't know how yet, and the documentations didn't push me in the right direction.

The only "easy" solution i could think of would be to use the same package name for each definition file. Like backend, and then both xcb and cairo would have it as backend.xcb_visualtype_t. I guess this would work as long as there are no conflicting functions in those libraries.

Yeah, putting all into one package works. But please let me know if there is a better way to handle this. (just in case someone has the same issues and conflicting functions in the libraries used)
