embed generated file

[analog thistle]

I want to have my build.zig generate a look up table that gets embedded using @embedFile or similar
is there a way to do that?
the reason im not using comptime for it is so that the build system caches it, that way I dont need to recompute it every time

Create a module in build.zig with the generated LazyPath as its root, and then @embedFile("module-name");.

that's cool, I had no clue that was allowed

It was added for this exact use case.

Can you expand a little more on what you mean by "its root" ?

[steady delta]

the name of the field is root_source_path or something
