We package C/C++ projects for the Zig build system so that you can reliably compile (and cross-compile!) them with ease.

This both provides convenience for users of the Zig compiler toolchain and also showcases to C/C++ project maintainers what a build.zig file for their project looks like.

As a general answer, we add a dependency on Zig to your project but in exchange we remove a dependency on:

More in general Zig removes all dependency on system-wide settings, while still leaving you the ability to opt-in when you need to.
