Is it possible for cinterop to also compile the library I'm referencing instead of only generating the bridge code?

[olonho]

you mean C library? in theory, it is possible for simple case, although it is somewhat an abuse of technology. Just #include everything you need to the .def file

[Hauke Radtki]

I'll give it a shot. In my case its just a bunch of small .c/.h file "libraries", nothing complex. Setting up a build environment just feels overkill to compile a few lines of c in this case

[Hauke Radtki]

It does indeed work 👍

Wow, that's awesome. You #include d C source files?

[Hauke Radtki]

Yes, you have to include both .h and .c files after a line with three dashes (---)
