C / C++ / Zig dependencies

Much like dependencies on other Acton packages, an Acton project can depend on a Zig package which could be a C / C++ or Zig library, as long as it has a build.zig file.

  • acton zig-pkg add URL NAME --artifact X --artifact Y
    • list the libraries you want to link with as artifacts
  • acton zig-pkg remove NAME

Example

acton zig-pkg add https://github.com/allyourcodebase/zlib/archive/refs/tags/1.3.1.tar.gz zlib --artifacts z
