I am attempting to allow Julia to use a C++ 3D modeling utility. I have seen examples of running C++ code in Julia using CxxWrap, CxxInterface, etc. but the project I am trying to use depends on an external library (OpenMesh), and I can’t find any examples using external dependencies in this way. Is there a way to package the OpenMesh libraries together with the C++ code which will make them available to Julia?
