Mixing object files example

Help

Can anyone point me to a working example of this feature?

I just can’t seem to get it to work:

install
└─ install test
   └─ compile exe test Debug native 1 errors
src/test.c:2:10: error: 'base64.h' file not found
#include "base64.h"

edit:

Here is my implementation

I can reproduce it.
I’ve tried adding:

    exe.root_module.addCSourceFile(.{ .file = b.path("src/test.c"), .flags = &.{"-std=c99"} });
    exe.root_module.addObject(obj);
+    exe.root_module.addIncludePath(obj.getEmittedH().dirname());
    b.installArtifact(exe);

Which outputs:

error: -femit-h is currently broken, see https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/9698

So it looks like the header generation is not working.

Currently you must provide a prototype declaration for the zig function:

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

extern size_t decode_base_64(char *, size_t, const char *, size_t);

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    ...
