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?
It seems this would be good content for the wiki. If we put this
sort of thing there, others will start to look at the wiki, and
Google will send them there. That wouldn't prevent anyone from
also posting the same content on their own blog.
