Hi, anybody tried to use libevent with kotlin ? I'm interested mostly in evhttp and I have some problems with creating bindings. Maybe someone already have working def file ? :wink:

So first of all I installed libevent and libevent-dev on my linux machine. Than I added a config to my gradle ```compilations.main.cinterops {
                evhttp {
                    defFile project.file("evhttp.def")
                    packageName 'evhttp'
                    compilerOpts '-I/usr/include -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu'
                }```

my def file atm looks like: ```headers = evhttp.h
headerFilter = evhttp.h
package = evhttp```

During compilation i'm getting `fatal error: 'evhttp.h' file not found` which is a bit strange for me

I'm guessing you've checked that `/usr/include/evhttp.h` exists.

Try moving the `compilerOpts` to def file.

that didn't helped ... but if I replace `compilerOpts` in gradle with `includeDirs.allHeaders("/usr/include", "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu")` it goes further ...

Oh ... only some warnings and build was successful :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Ehhh sorry to bother you :stuck_out_tongue:

Does the  `includeDirs.allHeaders` function pickup all headers recursively?

this is what I found in docs on <http://koltinlang.org|koltinlang.org>: ```// Directories for header search (an analogue of the -I&lt;path&gt; compiler option).
includeDirs.allHeaders("/usr/include", "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu")

// A shortcut for includeDirs.allHeaders.
includeDirs("include/directory", "another/directory")

// Additional directories to search headers listed in the 'headerFilter' def-file option.
// -headerFilterAdditionalSearchPrefix command line option analogue.
includeDirs.headerFilterOnly("path1", "path2")```

No it does not pick up all headers recursively. Otherwise you wouldn't have to specify the header yourself.

What I mean if you have a.h which includes b.h both will be added for bindings creation.

Oh sorry. Yes, it does do that recursively.
