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?
nice work!
worth a little blog post on the experience so others can be
inspired by and benefit from yours?
