anotherBuildStep
is a project designed to leverage the Zig build system (build.zig
) for building projects with various other toolchains. This allows developers to use Zig as a unified build system across different environments and toolsets.
- ldc2 support
- flang-new support
- rustc (no cargo) support
-
rustc (cargo) support(need to figure out how to get the cargo build system to work) - swiftc-6 support
- zig v0.13.0 or master
- ldc2 v1.38.0 or latest-CI
- flang (a.k.a flang-new) LLVM-18.1.3 or master
- rustc stable or nightly
- swift v6.0 or main-snapshots
Make new project or add to existing project:
In project folder, add this package as dependency on your build.zig.zon
$ zig fetch --save=abs git+https://github.com/kassane/anotherBuildStep
- add
const abs = @import("abs")
inbuild.zig
const std = @import("std");
// get build.zig from pkg to extend your build.zig project (only pub content module)
const abs = @import("abs");
// Dlang
const ldc2 = abs.ldc2;
// Fortran
const flang = abs.flang;
// Rust
const rustc = abs.rust;
// Swift
const swiftc = abs.swift;
// zig-cc wrapper
const zcc = abs.zcc;
