CHAPTER 10

Creating projects with Zig

In this final chapter, we will explain how to create projects in Zig using its Build System. It refers to tools that allow us to organize our projects so that the peculiarities of importing different libraries, assets (images, sounds, etc.), and so on are handled in the cleanest, least painful way possible.

Many languages use build systems whose configuration is written in a language other than the project's language. The Zig Build System uses the Zig language itself.

Configuring software projects is, in fact, very important. If you have reached this part of the book, I assume you have already learned the basics of the Zig language. For that reason, we will address this topic in this final chapter, with a level of depth appropriate to the knowledge presented in Volume 1 of the series.
