## C function interface

To use Verovio with any language that supports a plain C function interface you will first need to build Verovio as a library

```sh
cd tools
cmake -DBUILD_AS_LIBRARY=ON .
make
```

The compiled library (`libverovio.so`) will contain callable C symbols. These wrapper symbols are defined in `./tools/c_wrapper.h`

## Complete example in C

To run the `main.c` example you can use gcc to compile the example and link to the pre-built library.

```sh
gcc main.c -o main -L../../tools -lverovio
```

Run (without changing your default LD LIBRARY PATH):

```sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../tools ./main
```
