Library Project

Creating a static library and using it in another project.

Step 1: Create the library​

dcr new my-lib
cd my-lib

dcr.toml:

[package]
name = "my-lib"
version = "0.1.0"
type = "none"

[build]
language = "c"
standard = "c11"
kind = "staticlib"

src/my_lib.h:

#ifndef MY_LIB_H
#define MY_LIB_H
int add(int a, int b);
#endif

src/my_lib.c:

#include "my_lib.h"
int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }

Step 2: Build​

dcr build --release

Artifacts:

  • target/<triple>/release/libmy-lib.a (Linux)
  • target/release/my-lib.lib (Windows)
  • target/include/ — header files

Step 3: Use in another project​

dcr new my-app
cd my-app
dcr add my-lib ../my-lib

Automatically:

  • Adds include path to target/include/ of the library
  • Adds lib path to target/<triple>/release/
  • Links libmy-lib.a / my-lib.lib
