<e​inliterflasche2:matrix.org> Hey, I’m building libwallet2_api using `mkdir -p build/libwallet; cd build/libwallet; cmake ../..; make -j${nproc} wallet_api`. Trying to link the produces binary and using that to open a wallet produces a lot of linker errors about missing symbols (pastebin.com/9pz2gk0N). It may be that I’m missing some deps that should be dynamically linked, but some of those symbols<clipped message>

<e​inliterflasche2:matrix.org> seem to be monero-internal, too. What am I doing wrong?

The first one, i18n_translate, is from monero itself. Somewhere in src/common IIRC. Could be a one pass linker, there are known issues with circular deps in monero.

Is it on Mac ? IIRC Mac was more sensitive to this. Also debug builds, which you're not using.

In any case, I'd recommend running cmake with the parameters you'll find in the Makefile, adapted to your preference.

<e​inliterflasche2:matrix.org> It's a mac, yes.

<v​tnerd:monero.social> If your linking against the .a, that doesn't contain all of the code necessary, you have to do a dynamic build or use cmake to track the dependencies

<e​inliterflasche2:matrix.org> Hm ok. The goal is to use ffi on it, so it'll have to be the second option.

<v​tnerd:monero.social> There's the monero_c project which provides a c API wrapper around the wallet2_api interface. It uses add_subdirectory with a patch (which is in the process of being merged)

<v​tnerd:monero.social> There's also fetchcontent with cmake instead of add subdirectory
