I have just created bindings for libxlsxwriter, an c library for
creating excel files.
Used the htod tool to do most of the work, and only had to adjust some
things - mainly because libxlsxwriter uses data structures written in
macro's.
Right now I am making a dub package and I would like to aim for
convenience for end-users (read: me).
Therefor I decided to include the compiled static library inside the
package. I only use Linux 64-bit myself, but this is obviously limiting
for other people.
The other option I had was to include the whole c code, depend on gcc or
clang, and have dub (somehow) first build libxlsxwriter. But that
seemed a bit too much...
Another option would be to require end-users to build libxlsxwriter
themselves.
What do you guys recommend?
Is libxlsxwriter available in the systems package manager?
If so, I would just link against that. Preferably the shared library.
Let e.g. Windows users figure theirs out.
