, you first need to load it using Needs
.
treats it as C code. If source is a list of one or more strings, it treats it as a list of files that contain C code.
cannot find a suitable C compiler, it issues a message and returns $Failed.
will treat it as a MathLink template file and use mprep to process it.
option should be set to 
: this makes sure that MathLink libraries are not included in the link stage.
