* Zig git: `git+8622665+2024-11-12 @ 2024-11-12`

* Zig master: `0.14.0-dev.2211+05a3ac43e @ 2024-11-11`

## Examples



### Zig project template



```bash

nix flake init -t github:Cloudef/zig2nix

nix run .

# for more options check the flake.nix file

```



#### With master version of Zig



```bash

nix flake init -t github:Cloudef/zig2nix#master

nix run .

# for more options check the flake.nix file

```



### Build zig from source



```bash

nix build github:Cloudef/zig2nix#zig.master.src

```



### Running zig compiler directly



```bash

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.master.bin.bare.zig -- version

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.default.bin.bare.zig -- version

# Or simply these aliases

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#master -- version

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix -- version

```



#### Convenience zig for multimedia programs



> This sets (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that common libs are available



```bash

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.master.bin.multimedia.zig -- version

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.default.bin.multimedia.zig -- version

```



### Shell for building and running a Zig project



```bash

nix develop github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.master.bin.bare

nix develop github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.default.bin.bare

# Or simply these aliases

nix develop github:Cloudef/zig2nix#master

nix develop github:Cloudef/zig2nix

```



#### Convenience shell for multimedia programs



> This sets (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that common libs are available



```bash

nix develop github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.master.bin.multimedia

nix develop github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.default.bin.multimedia

```



### Convert zon file to json



```bash

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#zon2json -- build.zig.zon

```



### Convert build.zig.zon to a build.zig.zon2json-lock



```bash

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#zon2json-lock -- build.zig.zon

# alternatively output to stdout

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#zon2json-lock -- build.zig.zon -

```



### Convert build.zig.zon/2json-lock to a nix derivation



```bash

# calls zon2json-lock if build.zig.zon2json-lock does not exist (requires network access)

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#zon2nix -- build.zig.zon

# alternatively run against the lock file (no network access required)

nix run github:Cloudef/zig2nix#zon2nix -- build.zig.zon2json-lock

```



### Cross-compile nixpkgs using zig



> This is very experimental, and many things may not compile.



```bash

nix build github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.master.bin.cross.x86_64-windows-gnu.zlib

nix build github:Cloudef/zig2nix#env.default.bin.cross.x86_64-windows-gnu.zlib

# Or simply this alias that uses env.master.bin

nix build github:Cloudef/zig2nix#zigCross.x86_64-windows-gnu.zlib

```

#! Package for specific target supported by nix.

#! You can still compile to other platforms by using package and specifying zigTarget.

#! When compiling to non-nix supported targets, you can't rely on pkgsForTarget, but rather have to provide all the pkgs yourself.

#! NOTE: Even though target is supported by nix, cross-compiling to it might not be, in that case you should get an error.

#! Packages zig project.

#! NOTE: If your project has build.zig.zon you must first generate build.zig.zon2json-lock using zon2json-lock.

#!       It is recommended to commit the build.zig.zon2json-lock to your repo.

#!

#! Additional attributes:

#!    zigTarget: Specify target for zig compiler, defaults to stdenv.targetPlatform of given target.

#!    zigInheritStdenv:

#!       By default if zigTarget is specified, nixpkgs stdenv compatible environment is not used.

#!       Set this to true, if you want to specify zigTarget, but still use the derived stdenv compatible environment.

#!    zigPreferMusl: Prefer musl libc without specifying the target.

#!    zigDisableWrap: makeWrapper will not be used. Might be useful if distributing outside nix.

#!    zigWrapperArgs: Additional arguments to makeWrapper.

#!    zigBuildZon: Path to build.zig.zon file, defaults to build.zig.zon.

#!    zigBuildZonLock: Path to build.zig.zon2json-lock file, defaults to build.zig.zon2json-lock.
