Hey everyone,
So this is something that is clearly above my pay grade.
I would like to create a IoT module that I can deploy to a raspberry Pi running raspbian, but I need to make use of the Azure IoT C sdk as well as wiring pi so that I can reuse a previous C program that we have built.
Now I have been struggling with this for the last 2 weeks and I cant seem to get everything lined up. I am not sure if I need to create a docker image based on raspbian so that I have easy access to the wiring pi library, but then have issues with VCpkg for the IoT sdk, or if I should go with an ubuntu based image which allows easy access to VCpkg, but then I have to somehow manually add the wiringpi library.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

I ended up using a python based module, as this allowed most of the capabilities out of the box for me
