C external lib

[m***@gmail.com]

Maybe it is too soon for such a question, but here it goes anyway.
How easy/hard would be to use a C external multiplataform lib like TBOX ( https://github.com/waruqi/tbox ) with M2C for writing Modula-2 code in such a way that I could compile the generated C files in Windows, Linux or OSX ?
I know this is a 2 steps task, first using TBOX from Modula-2 (is it just to write a .def for it ?) and the second is to compile the C files.
Thanks.

If you have a little more patience, with the ongoing M2C rewrite this will be a one-step task very soon.

Supported OSes thus far and porting work in progress:

A description of the FFI pragma to declare a M2 definition module as an interface for a library written in C is at the very bottom of this page:

In the old M2C, mixing M2 with C requires C inline code within your M2 sources.
