Zig Toolsets

The Zig compiler and standard library packaged for use in MSBuild.

This project packs and distributes the Zig compiler and standard library in a set of NuGet packages for each platform that .NET runs on. These packages are mainly used by the Zig SDK but can also be used by other projects.

• For every official release of Zig, a set of NuGet packages with the name pattern Vezel.Zig.Toolsets.<rid> is published, where <rid> is replaced with linux-arm64, osx-x64, win-x86, etc.
• Only the RIDs that .NET runs on are covered (so e.g. Vezel.Zig.Toolsets.linux-x86 is not available).
• The package version matches the official Zig release's version, with an extra fourth component added indicating the packaging version.

Usage

This project offers the following packages:

To install a package, run dotnet add package <name>.

The following MSBuild properties will be injected into your project:

• ZigToolsetPath: Path to the extracted toolset package directory in the NuGet package cache.
• ZigExePath: Path to the Zig compiler executable (zig or zig.exe).
• ZigLibPath: Path to the Zig standard library.
• ZigDocPath: Path to the Zig standard library documentation.

Building

You will need the .NET SDK installed. Simply run ./cake (a Bash script) to build artifacts.

Note that, on Windows, you must have a tar program capable of extracting .tar.xz archives. For example, tar from Git for Windows or MSYS2 will satisfy this requirement.
