Compile Native Lib
I wanna ask how i can build a C project in my .csproj to use the .dll from it, do someone know or has a example for me?
Jyou could set up your C# project to run your C compiler on build
Jthen the usual pinvoke from there
JLearn to use the MSBuild Exec task to run a specified program or command by using the specified arguments.
Mi never done something like that before, do you maybe have a example for me?
Mthx, but do you have some examples?
Jyeah, on that page
Ji haven't done exactly what you want for any projects, this is the general solution to running an arbitrary program as part of a C# build
JMthis tell me just to run a command
Jyeah that's what it's for
Jthe command will depend on how your C project is set up and what build system you're using for that
MCMake
Jso you'd run whatever command you need to make cmake build it
Mbtw would it possible to automatically download the C lib?
Jdownload from where?
Mfrom .csproj
Jno like where is the C lib?
MGithub tags
Ji mean you could probably do that with msbuild too if you wanted to
Mdo you know how?
Jyes, by looking at the msbuild docs about targets that i linked earlier
Mkk
Jwhy do you need to both download the library and build it from source?
Myea i want to download it and build it
J?
Mthen i just need to write the new version of the program
Mlike <ReleaseTag>5.0<ReleaseTag>
Mi doing a wrapper to c#
Jyou wouldn't want to do that with msbuild, you'd add the repo as a submodule or something
Mwell then i wanna do that
Jif you're writing a wrapper why are you concerned with building the native lib in the first place? you don't need to do that to build your wrapper
M?
Mi mean i need the .dll
Mfor any platform
Jyeah but why is that a concern of your project
Jyou haven't really explained what the native lib is or why you need to build it this way
Mi would just like too
Mcreate it like that
Mbut
Ma submodule is no bad idea too
Mand then compile it
Mby runing the cmake command
