dep_prefix: []const u8 = "",

DirList

A map from build root dirs to the corresponding *Dependency. This is shared with all child Builds.


modules: std.StringArrayHashMap(*Module),
/// A map from build root dirs to the corresponding `*Dependency`. This is shared with all child
/// `Build`s.

pub const ExecError = error{
    ReadFailure,
    ExitCodeFailure,
    ProcessTerminated,

    PkgConfigCrashed,
    PkgConfigFailed,
    PkgConfigNotInstalled,

resolveInstallPrefix()

This function creates a module and adds it to the package's module set, making it available to other packages which depend on this one. createModule can be used instead to create a private module.


pub const PkgConfigPkg = struct {
    name: []const u8,
    desc: []const u8,
};

addOptions()

This function creates a private module, to be used by the current package, but not exposed to other packages depending on this one. addModule can be used instead to create a public module.


pub const CStd = enum {
    C89,
    C99,
    C11,
};

ExecutableOptions

Initializes a Step.Run with argv, which must at least have the path to the executable. More command line arguments can be added with addArg, addArgs, and addArtifactArg. Be careful using this function, as it introduces a system dependency. To run an executable built with zig build, see Step.Compile.run.


const UserInputOptionsMap = StringHashMap(UserInputOption);
const AvailableOptionsMap = StringHashMap(AvailableOption);

addExecutable()

Creates a Step.Run with an executable built with addExecutable. Add command line arguments with methods of Step.Run.


const AvailableOption = struct {
    name: []const u8,
    type_id: TypeId,
    description: []const u8,
    /// If the `type_id` is `enum` this provides the list of enum options
    enum_options: ?[]const []const u8,
};

ObjectOptions

Using the values provided, produces a C header file, possibly based on a template input file (e.g. config.h.in). When an input template file is provided, this function will fail the build when an option not found in the input file is provided in values, and when an option found in the input file is missing from values.


const UserInputOption = struct {
    name: []const u8,
    value: UserValue,
    used: bool,
};

addObject()

Allocator.dupe without the need to handle out of memory.


const UserValue = union(enum) {
    flag: void,
    scalar: []const u8,
    list: ArrayList([]const u8),
    map: StringHashMap(*const UserValue),
};

SharedLibraryOptions

Duplicates an array of strings without the need to handle out of memory.


const TypeId = enum {
    bool,
    int,
    float,
    @"enum",
    string,
    list,
    build_id,
};

addSharedLibrary()

Duplicates a path and converts all slashes to the OS's canonical path separator.


const TopLevelStep = struct {
    pub const base_id = .top_level;

StaticLibraryOptions

Exposes standard zig build options for choosing a target.


    step: Step,
    description: []const u8,
};

addStaticLibrary()

This creates the install step and adds it to the dependencies of the top-level install step, using all the default options. See addInstallArtifact for a more flexible function.

        self.install_path = self.install_prefix;
    }

addRunArtifact()

The path to the directory containing the dependency's build.zig file, relative to the current package's build.zig.


    var lib_list = [_][]const u8{ self.install_path, "lib" };
    var exe_list = [_][]const u8{ self.install_path, "bin" };
    var h_list = [_][]const u8{ self.install_path, "include" };

addConfigHeader()

A direct @import of the build.zig of the dependency.


    if (dir_list.lib_dir) |dir| {
        if (std.fs.path.isAbsolute(dir)) lib_list[0] = self.dest_dir orelse "";
        lib_list[1] = dir;
    }

dupe()

This could either be a generated file, in which case the module contains exactly one file, or it could be a path to the root source file of directory of files which constitute the module.


    if (dir_list.exe_dir) |dir| {
        if (std.fs.path.isAbsolute(dir)) exe_list[0] = self.dest_dir orelse "";
        exe_list[1] = dir;
    }

dupeStrings()

A file that is generated by a build step. This struct is an interface that is meant to be used with @fieldParentPtr to implement the actual path logic.


    if (dir_list.include_dir) |dir| {
        if (std.fs.path.isAbsolute(dir)) h_list[0] = self.dest_dir orelse "";
        h_list[1] = dir;
    }

dupePath()

The step that generates the file


    self.lib_dir = self.pathJoin(&lib_list);
    self.exe_dir = self.pathJoin(&exe_list);
    self.h_dir = self.pathJoin(&h_list);
}

addWriteFile()

The path to the generated file. Must be either absolute or relative to the build root. This value must be set in the fn make() of the step and must not be null afterwards.


pub fn addOptions(self: *Build) *Step.Options {
    return Step.Options.create(self);
}

addWriteFiles()

A reference to an existing or future path.


pub const ExecutableOptions = struct {
    name: []const u8,
    root_source_file: ?LazyPath = null,
    version: ?std.SemanticVersion = null,

    use_llvm: ?bool = null,
    use_lld: ?bool = null,
    zig_lib_dir: ?LazyPath = null,
    main_pkg_path: ?LazyPath = null,
};

addRemoveDirTree()

A source file path relative to build root. This should not be an absolute path, but in an older iteration of the zig build system API, it was allowed to be absolute. Absolute paths should use cwd_relative.


pub fn addExecutable(b: *Build, options: ExecutableOptions) *Step.Compile {
    return Step.Compile.create(b, .{
        .name = options.name,
        .root_source_file = options.root_source_file,

        .main_pkg_path = options.main_pkg_path,
    });
}

addFmt()

A file that is generated by an interface. Those files usually are not available until built by a build step.


pub const ObjectOptions = struct {
    name: []const u8,
    root_source_file: ?LazyPath = null,
    target: CrossTarget,

    use_lld: ?bool = null,
    zig_lib_dir: ?LazyPath = null,
    main_pkg_path: ?LazyPath = null,
};

addTranslateC()

An absolute path or a path relative to the current working directory of the build runner process. This is uncommon but used for system environment paths such as --zig-lib-dir which ignore the file system path of build.zig and instead are relative to the directory from which zig build was invoked. Use of this tag indicates a dependency on the host system.


pub fn addObject(b: *Build, options: ObjectOptions) *Step.Compile {
    return Step.Compile.create(b, .{
        .name = options.name,
        .root_source_file = options.root_source_file,

        .kind = .obj,
        .max_rss = options.max_rss,
        .link_libc = options.link_libc,
        .single_threaded = options.single_threaded,
        .use_llvm = options.use_llvm,
        .use_lld = options.use_lld,
        .zig_lib_dir = options.zig_lib_dir orelse b.zig_lib_dir,
        .main_pkg_path = options.main_pkg_path,
    });
}

getInstallStep()

Returns a new file source that will have a relative path to the build root guaranteed. Asserts the parameter is not an absolute path.


pub const SharedLibraryOptions = struct {
    name: []const u8,
    root_source_file: ?LazyPath = null,

    use_lld: ?bool = null,
    zig_lib_dir: ?LazyPath = null,
    main_pkg_path: ?LazyPath = null,
};

getUninstallStep()

Returns a string that can be shown to represent the file source. Either returns the path or "generated".


pub fn addSharedLibrary(b: *Build, options: SharedLibraryOptions) *Step.Compile {
    return Step.Compile.create(b, .{

        .main_pkg_path = options.main_pkg_path,
    });
}

StandardOptimizeOptionOptions

Returns an absolute path. Intended to be used during the make phase only. asking_step is only used for debugging purposes; it's the step being run that is asking for the path.

installArtifact()

This function is intended to be called in the configure phase only. It returns an absolute directory path, which is potentially going to be a source of API breakage in the future, so keep that in mind when using this function.
