✅ building nativeaot project with static library still requires library to be copied

i have tried to build nativeaot project with:

    <ItemGroup>
        <DirectPInvoke Include="raylib"/>
        <NativeLibrary Include="raylib.lib"/>
    </ItemGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <DirectPInvoke Include="raylib"/>
        <NativeLibrary Include="raylib.lib"/>
    </ItemGroup>

and it still requires me to copy dll file, copying makes it work, but i need single executable without any dependency libraries laying around

Does "raylib.lib" actually exist?

danilwaffleOP•2mo ago

great i used shared library instead of static whoops

It's weird that you're trying to both dynamically link and statically link to (presumably) a .dll and a .lib of the same dependency

hmm now i get linking errors

raylib.lib(rcore.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol timeBeginPeriod referenced in function InitTimer [D:\Users\danil\RiderProjects\ConsoleApp34\ConsoleApp34\Console
App34.csproj]

i'm not sure how to add dependency to linker

canton7•2mo ago

I'm going to guess <NativeLibrary >?
