From the README
A Nix Flake for developing Zig.
Features
- A Nix dev shell for building Zig from src
# Start dev shell
nix develop .
- An opinionated script (
./run) that helps with building and testing Zig
./run buildBootstrap # Build stage3
./run usePrebuilt # Alternatively, use a signature-checked stage3 binary from ziglang.org
./run buildDebug # Use stage3 to create a Zig debug build
./run testBehavior # Run behavior tests for the debug build
Getting from zero to a self-built Zig is really fast:
./run usePrebuilt && ./run buildDebug takes less than 3 minutes on an average desktop system.
- Zig
master pkgs
nix build .#zig # Built from source
nix build .#zigPrebuilt # Prebuilt static binary from ziglang.org
This repo is regularly updated to track Zig master.
