Linux, macOS, Windows용 빌드

From a single machine you can produce binaries for every major OS. Zig treats cross-builds as first-class, not an afterthought.

Target Linux by naming its triple. The musl ABI gives you a clean, portable Linux executable from any host.

Target Apple Silicon with the macos OS field. The output is a real Mach-O binary that runs on arm64 Macs.

Target Windows and Zig emits a .exe automatically. The windows OS field switches on the right object format for you.

Your Zig code does not change between targets. Only the -target flag changes, and the compiler does the rest of the work.

In a project, the build script reads a target instead. standardTargetOptions exposes -target through zig build.

Pass that resolved target into your executable so the whole build graph knows which platform it is producing.

With standardTargetOptions in place, users pass -Dtarget to zig build and choose any platform without editing code.

Zig bundles the headers and start files for each OS, so you skip installing a Windows SDK or macOS toolchain separately.

You can compile every target on one host, then copy each binary to the matching machine to verify it runs as expected.

Cross-builds make release scripts simple. A short loop over three triples produces Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries in one pass.

Think about how you pick a platform inside a Zig project build.

You learned to build Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries from one host using -target or -Dtarget, with no extra SDKs. 🛠️
