go-tdlib

Low-level TDLib CGo wrapper.

Roughly - Go type aliases for TDLib JSON interface, think of it more as of CGo/TDLib integration recipe.

This lib DOES NOT provide any specific TL types, thus should work with pretty much any version of TDLib with td_create_client_id, td_send, td_receive, td_execute methods. JSON payload or API methods can be changed/broken by TDLib the usual way (it's versioning is not the most convenient one), so that is left as an exercise for the lib user - good luck with that!

CFLAGS/LDFLAGS

Quick reminder:

• CFLAGS mostly used to point to the TDLib include dir (with *.h files)
• LDFLAGS mostly used to point to the TDLib lib dir (with *.{so,a} files)

This lib hardcodes some CFLAGS/LDFLAGS right in Go code to simplfy local development/debugging. It assumes that TDLib is built into third-party/td/tdlib, see Makefile recipes.

This lib links against tdjson_static for no particular reason (just because I did it and it worked, yay).

This lib has Linux-specific LDFLAGS as of now. Darwin etc can be copied later from, for example, zelenin/go-tdlib if ever needed.

For external (normal, go get-able) lib use, you'll have to either put TDLib include and lib dirs somewhere in known places (like /usr/local/{include,lib}) or configure CFLAGS/LDFLAGS on your own.

You can provide the CGo config when running Go commands (run, build etc):

CGO_CFLAGS='"-I/full/path/to/tdlib/include"' \
CGO_LDFLAGS='"-L/full/path/to/tdlib/lib"' \
  go run main.go

Keep in mind, that absolute (full) path is mandatory in this use case.
