toxic flare
In Zig 0.11, I could do something like this in build.zig to compile C code:
const std = @import("std");
pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "scratchpad",
.root_source_file = .{ .path = "src/main.c" },
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
exe.linkLibC();
b.installArtifact(exe);
const run_cmd = b.addRunArtifact(exe);
run_cmd.step.dependOn(b.getInstallStep());
if (b.args) |args| {
run_cmd.addArgs(args);
}
const run_step = b.step("run", "Run the app");
run_step.dependOn(&run_cmd.step);
}
main.c is a trivial hello world program. This works in zig 0.11.0, but in Zig 0.12.0 it produces an error:
