crystal_library's Issues

Update the POC

Hi :)
Now that crystal has support for not generating main , would it be easier to do this with less steps ?

PoC with crystal 0.24.2

Tried your PoC with crystal 0.24.2 on linux 64 bits. Alas did not work, there is no compile option, only a build option. With the build option it does not work
