This project mirrors the code used for C FFI section of the Pony tutorial.

• Linking to C libraries covers how to make Pony link the desired libraries using the use "lib:XXX" and use "path:XXX" statements.

• C ABI covers how to compiler your C code to a shared library so you can use it from Pony code.

There are two ways of letting the compiler know where to find your libraries:

• Using the use "path:XXX" statement on your Pony files.
• Using the --path <path> option for the Pony compiler.

The key is to first build your C code into a shared library, and put the resulting .so / .dylib etc somewhere that you can specify via use "path:..." or supply to the compiler using the --path flag.

If you use the --path flag on the compiler, you don't need to specify the path to your C library from Pony code.
