--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The **Zig SDK** is an

[MSBuild SDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/how-to-use-project-sdk)

that augments the .NET SDK with the ability to build Zig, C, and C++ projects.

With support for multiple programming languages, cross-compilation, NuGet

packaging, and more, the **Zig SDK** makes it trivial to author native

components as part of your .NET solution - without all the hassle that is

usually part and parcel of building and packaging native code. These features

are powered by the [Zig](https://ziglang.org) toolchain.

## Usage

This project offers the following packages:

| Package | Description | Downloads |

| -: | - | :- |

| [![Vezel.Zig.Sdk][sdk-img]][sdk-pkg] | Provides the MSBuild SDK and associated tasks. | ![Downloads][sdk-dls] |

[sdk-pkg]: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Vezel.Zig.Sdk

[sdk-img]: https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/Vezel.Zig.Sdk?label=Vezel.Zig.Sdk

[sdk-dls]: https://img.shields.io/nuget/dt/Vezel.Zig.Sdk?label=

To install an SDK package in a project, add it to your `global.json` under the

`msbuild-sdks` property.

For more information, please visit the

[project home page](https://docs.vezel.dev/zig-sdk).

## Building

You will need the .NET SDK installed. Simply run `./cake`

(a [Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash) script) to build artifacts. You can

also use `./cake pack` if you do not want to build the documentation (which

requires Node.js).
