Usage of libraries

General

Are we able use the readline library for the Shell challenge in C stage #QP2 ? I got this compilation error when testing, although it runs OK in my system:

[compile] app/main.c:19:10: fatal error: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory [compile] #include <readline/readline.h> [compile] ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [compile] compilation terminated.
I put this line in .codecrafters/compile.sh:
gcc app/*.c -o /tmp/shell-target -lreadline

@amarjen, thanks for highlighting the issue! We’ll update the C build pack for you and keep you updated once it’s completed.
