ffi.dlopen does not require a C compiler, ffi.verify does (which we strongly encourage to use). Note that since cffi 1.0 you only require C compiler to create extensions, you can distribute them without a compiler.

Hi Team,
I am not sure if I should be asking the question here, however hoping someone could help.
we use ffi.cdef for definitions and ffi.dlopen to open shared library. To my understanding ffi.dlopen only works in the presence of a c compiler to dynamically link the shared lib. We have a linux box without gcc in which we are supposed to run this setup. We do have dlopen on the box as man dlopen returns. Could I know if it is at all possible to use ffi.dlopen without a C compiler?
Apologies if I am totally off.
Thanks, -Roshan
