compressed_mingw_includes
-------------------------
An attempt at exposing a maximally compressed set of MinGW includes (via `@embedFile` of a `.tar.zst` compressed with zstandard level 19) as a Zig module. For context, the includes are ~69MiB uncompressed and ~6MiB compressed.
The only intention here is to be able to embed a full set of MinGW includes in standalone builds of [resinator](https://github.com/squeek502/resinator) that can be extracted on-demand.
## Building
Running
```
./build.sh
```
will download MinGW, build the header files, compress them, and then create a Zig module-ready `.tar.gz` at `build/compressed_mingw_includes.tar.gz`.
## Usage
The `.tar.gz` then needs to be hosted (see [Releases](https://github.com/squeek502/compressed_mingw_includes/releases)), in which case it can be included in your `build.zig.zon`/`build.zig` file like so:
```zig
.{
// ...
.dependencies = .{
.compressed_mingw_includes = .{
.url = "https://github.com/squeek502/compressed_mingw_includes/releases/download/1.0.2/compressed_mingw_includes.tar",
.hash = "12209b760f6780e143f9cde540487494292aaf07c08b49ac5f58f8339307a733db3e",
},
},
// ...
}
```
```zig
// ...
const compressed_mingw_includes = b.dependency("compressed_mingw_includes", .{});
const compressed_mingw_includes_module = compressed_mingw_includes.module("compressed_mingw_includes");
// ...
```
