# Library Project

Creating a static library and using it in another project.

## Step 1: Create the library

```bash
dcr new my-lib
cd my-lib
```

`dcr.toml`:

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

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

`src/my_lib.h`:

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

`src/my_lib.c`:

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

## Step 2: Build

```bash
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

```bash
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`
