publish a c-lib best practices guide

[frasertweedale]

Tracking the idea of publishing a best practices guide for Haskell projects that use or bundle/vendor C libraries.

• Two recommended approaches:
  • Use system clibs
  • Bundle the clib in a standalone cabal package, then depend on that. e.g.:
    • https://hackage.haskell.org/package/lzma-clib
    • https://hackage.haskell.org/package/libyaml-clib
• Write up the recommended approaches and discourage other kinds of vendoring.

We should also comment on the practice of static linking. How do we know what was linked and how to we track it?
