Building from Source
Note that you can download a binary of master branch.
Stage 1: Build Zig from C++ Source Code
Dependencies
POSIX
- cmake >= 2.8.5
- gcc >= 5.0.0 or clang >= 3.6.0
- LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 10.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
- Use the system package manager, or build from source.
Windows
- cmake >= 3.15.3
- Microsoft Visual Studio. Supported versions:
- 2015 (version 14)
- 2017 (version 15.8)
- 2019 (version 16)
- LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 10.x
- Use the pre-built binaries or build from source.
Instructions
POSIX
| 1 | mkdir build |
| 2 | cd build |
| 3 | cmake .. |
| 4 | make install |
MacOS
| 1 | brew install cmake llvm |
| 2 | brew outdated llvm || brew upgrade llvm |
| 3 | mkdir build |
| 4 | cd build |
| 5 | cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix llvm) |
| 6 | make install |
You will now run into this issue: homebrew and llvm 10 packages in apt.llvm.org are broken with undefined reference to getPollyPluginInfo
Please help upstream LLVM and Homebrew solve this issue, there is nothing Zig can do about it. See that issue for a workaround you can do in the meantime.
Windows
