# zcc-d
[](https://github.com/kassane/zcc-d/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[-f8240e?logo=d&logoColor=f8240e&label=frontend)](https://dlang.org/download.html)
[](https://github.com/kassane/zcc-d/blob/master/LICENSE)
A D library for building C/C++ code using Zig as a cross-compilation toolchain, inspired by [cc-rs](https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs) and [cargo-zigbuild](https://github.com/rust-cross/cargo-zigbuild).
## Features
- Cross-compilation support via Zig's C/C++ compiler
- Target triple and CPU architecture configuration
- Automatic C++ mode detection based on file extensions
- Flag transformation and filtering
- Build output logging
- Exception handling for build failures
## Requirements
- [D compiler](https://dlang.org/download.html)
- [Zig compiler](https://ziglang.org/download)
- [dub](https://github.com/dlang/dub/releases) or [redub](https://github.com/MrcSnm/redub/releases) package manager
## Installation
```bash
dub add zcc
```
## Usage
**library**
```d
// Compile C/C++ code
auto b = new Builder();
// Use `zig cc` or `zig c++`
b.file("source.cpp") // Auto-detects C++ mode
.setTargetTriple("aarch64-linux-gnu")
.setCpu("generic")
.addArg("-Wall")
.execute();
// Build library
auto lb = new Builder();
// use `zig build-lib -lc` or `zig build-lib -lc++`
lb.files(["source.cpp", "resource.cc"]) // Auto-detects C++ mode
.setTargetTriple("riscv64-linux-gnu")
.setCpu("baseline")
.addArg("-Wall")
.buildLibrary("libname");
```
See more in [samples](samples).
**executable**
```console
dub run zcc:cc --
```
