Building from Source

Note that you can
download a binary of master branch.

Stage 1: Build Zig from C++ Source Code

Dependencies

POSIX

• cmake >= 2.8.5
• gcc >= 5.0.0 or clang >= 3.6.0
• LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 10.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
  • Use the system package manager, or build from source.

Windows

• cmake >= 3.15.3
• Microsoft Visual Studio. Supported versions:
  • 2015 (version 14)
  • 2017 (version 15.8)
  • 2019 (version 16)
• LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 10.x
  • Use the pre-built binaries or build from source.

Instructions

POSIX

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install

Need help? Troubleshooting Build Issues

MacOS

brew install cmake llvm
brew outdated llvm || brew upgrade llvm
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix llvm)
make install

You will now run into this issue:
homebrew and llvm 10 packages in apt.llvm.org are broken with undefined reference to getPollyPluginInfo
or
error: unable to create target: 'Unable to find target for this triple (no targets are registered)',
in which case try -DZIG_WORKAROUND_4799=ON

Hopefully this will be fixed upstream with LLVM 10.0.1.

Windows

@data-man it will look much better if you add align="right" to the image. That will prevent the content from being pushed down. You will have to use html though.

@Mouvedia

add align="right" to the image

What will it improve?
Will the left part be blank?

BTW, you can post your version (without bottom part) here. ;)

Don't hesitate to put your thumb up or down. 😄

Counter-proposal: put them here: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Install-Zig-from-a-Package-Manager

I updated the readme to link to that page here: 4e97cf5

Counter-proposal: put them here

Done.

[andrewrk]

Thanks! I moved it up to the top, looks good 👍

Maybe add them to ziglang.org?
To the main page or download page.
