Including NIF in escript

[Mike Chmielewski]

Hi all,

I've added the sfmt (randomizing) library to my dice rolling app. This library is an erlang one that they've packaged on hex. I also have a CLI interface built via escript.build. However, when I _run_ the resulting escript, I get an error because the escript can't find sfmt.

I haven't found any docs about solving this, does anyone know how to make my CLI app see the sfmt library?

Thanks!

I don't think escripts actually work with NIFs. You may want to ask it in the erlang-questions mailing list. Just to be sure, does the library compile the .so files to priv?

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, the nif .so is in the priv/ directory... I copied it to a priv/ subdirectory in the root of my project where my escript was built, and the escript worked. I just needed to read the error more closely.
