include julia.h with shared libraries about packagecompiler.jl HOT 5 OPEN

You can, by populating the julia_init_h_file option,

julia_init_h_file = [PackageCompiler.default_julia_init_header(),
                     joinpath(Sys.BINDIR, Base.INCLUDEDIR, "julia", "julia.h")]

from packagecompiler.jl.

Thanks. I will try that. I couldn't find it in the documentation anywhere.
Will it automatically pull in all of the julia.h include dependencies?

I couldn't find it in the documentation anywhere.

It is considered an "advanced" option and thus only documented in the References section. I'd be open to adding a section on custom header/init files in the main docs though.

Will it automatically pull in all of the julia.h include dependencies?

No, you're right. You'd have to do this manually. I also see currently no sane way to automate this, since you'd have to transitively also include those headers. Except maybe to include the entire joinpath(Sys.BINDIR, Base.INCLUDEDIR, "julia") folder in the library bundle.

So it seems like this is still a valid issue? To somehow make this more manageable, or specify which functions to rehost in the shared library somehow.

Yes, I still consider this to be a valid issue. However, it is unclear to me if such a functionality should be included in PackageCompiler.jl to be automated, or whether it is something that could be documented but would be left up to the user to do manually.

Maybe @KristofferC has on opinion here?
