Two ideas that might help:

Elixir releases are built in and easy to use. You don't have to write an app file directly for instance.

I usually use ports for C interface (rather than NIFs). I have a little boilerplate C and Elixir that I recycle to do the ground work and then it's just your specific implementation detail.

Yeah, so I'd write just as much (or likely more) C code to interface with the library and BEAM as just writing the implementation in C.
