This document provides a basic setup for a C project utilizing the Zig build system. It should simplify the process of setting up a new project especially for beginners (like me).

• Install Zig

Run the following command to build and run the project:

zig build run

.
├── build.zig   # build script
└── src         # source files
    ├── main.c
    ├── lib.h
    └── lib.c

!!! note If you have added or removed files, you need to update the list of files in the build.zig file, in the exe.addCSourceFiles section:

exe.addCSourceFiles(.{  
    .files = &.{
        "src/main.c",
        "src/lib.c",
+       "src/another_file.c",
    },
});
