    Compile pure C dll for C# DllImport with .Net Core on Ubuntu Linux

    Hello all!
    My main.c in C code:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>void main()
    {
        printf("Hello world\n");
    }
    I'm running gcc main.c -o main.dll using Terminal. .Net Core console app:
    Code:
    using System;using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
    
    
    namespace dllimportc
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main()
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
                main();
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
            [DllImport("main.dll", EntryPoint = "main", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    public static extern void main ();
        }
    }
    I've got an error:
    Exception has occurred: CLR/System.EntryPointNotFoundExceptionAn unhandled exception of type 'System.EntryPointNotFoundException' occurred in dllimportc.dll: 'Unable to find an entry point named 'main' in shared library 'main.dll'.'
    at dllimportc.Program.main()
    at dllimportc.Program.Main()
    How to run my C code from C#?

    A dll can have a DllMain function, not a main function, though it seems that it isn't necessary.
