Example on how to call third-party as well as custom C code from Kotlin Native.
Sample Code for my blog post.
First of all you have to install libvlc. This can be done like that:
Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Debian/...: sudo apt install libvlc-dev
Fedora/RHEL/CoreOS/...: sudo dnf install libvlc-devel
Arch Linux/Manjaro/...: sudo pacman -S libvlc
j
OSX/Mac: brew install --cask vlc
Windows: You have to compile the code yourself: https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_Source_code/ + Have to add the location of the libvlc.so to the libvlc.def-file's linkerOpts parameter
If your IDE can't find libvlc in the Main.kt file, just click on the Run Arrow next to the main() function.
sound.mp3 is taken from here.
You have to move the helloworldlib/libhelloworld.so file into your /lib folder. Afterwards, uncomment the lines in the build.gradle.kts and Main.kt files.
If there is an error with the architecture of the libhelloworld.so file, recompile the helloworldlib/helloworld.c file for your computer like that:
gcc -shared -o libhelloworld.so helloworld.c
, and then move the new helloworldlib/libhelloworld.so file to /lib again.
