Expose c-library functionality to node

I have been working on using a c library in my node project. After little bit investigation I found node-gyp.

I was successfully able to execute example but when I am trying to using third party c library functions in the code it was giving me linking error on run time.

Library can be found here http://ift.tt/1SZL7q7

I compiled the library independently to have *.a objects

I am using following example http://ift.tt/1KO1IOs

So I have following questions as I can infer

• Shall I convert bibutils from make to gyp?
• Shall I convert each source file to work with V8? I don't know how to do this.
• How can I easily link this project to work with node-gyp with less noise?

Details related to script can be found below. bibutils folder is placed along with addon.cc

binding.gyp looks like

{
  "targets": [
    {
      "target_name": "addon",
      "sources": [ "addon.cc" ],
      "include_dirs": ["bibutils/lib"],
      "library_dirs": ["bibutils/lib/libbibutil.a","bibutils/lib/libbibprogs.a"]
    }
  ]
}

modified addon.cc

#include <node.h>
#include "bibutils.h"
#include "bibprogs.h"

using namespace v8;

void MyFunction(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args) {
  Isolate* isolate = Isolate::GetCurrent();
  HandleScope scope(isolate);
      /****This is not production code just to check the execution***/
      bibl b;   
      bibl_init( &b );
      bibl_free( &b );
      /**************************************************************/
  args.GetReturnValue().Set(String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "hello world"));
}

void CreateFunction(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args) {
  Isolate* isolate = Isolate::GetCurrent();
  HandleScope scope(isolate);

  Local<FunctionTemplate> tpl = FunctionTemplate::New(isolate, MyFunction);
  Local<Function> fn = tpl->GetFunction();

  // omit this to make it anonymous
  fn->SetName(String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "theFunction"));

  args.GetReturnValue().Set(fn);
}
