A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Is there a way to integrate some .dll files or .exe files into a KN windows binary? Right now I have to include the libraries in the same folder.

I don't think that's possible in general (even outside K/N). You can bundle static libraries into your KLIBs and binaries.

I see, is it possible to install those using an Installer? I don't think KN supports this right now.

Oh, I understand what you're asking now. I'll try and find you a link.

There seem to be some possibilities available for C# for example

iirc, C# Dll are kinda like Kotlin's KLIBs. They are not native binaries.

Yeah maybe, but they are getting an executable in the end that includes the dll file

That's all I need. Otherwise I have to leave the dll files in the same folder as the executable or write/find an Installer that makes it possible.

Do you not have any `.lib`  or `.a`  files?

See `tetris` sample - it creates fully statically linked `.exe

Well, then either find same lib from msys2 distribution instead of your random libs, or make installer.
