Declaring Executables and Libraries

Add artifacts to the build graph.

Artifacts to Build

The things you compile are called artifacts: an executable you run, or a library other code links against. You declare them in build.zig. 📦

Create a runnable program with addExecutable. You give it a name and the root source file that holds main.

const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
    .name = "app",
});
