Starting your raylib project with Zig (0.16.0)

How to compile and run it

To compile the project:

zig build

To run the project:

zig build run

To change from debug to release build you can do it with the -Doptimze= flag.

Debug
ReleaseSafe
ReleaseFast
ReleaseSmall

To compile with a different platform you can use the -Dplatform= flag. Here all the options:

glfw
rgfw
sdl
sdl2
sdl3
memory
win32
drm
android

In this example the platform sdl and sdl2 are not supported

Important for the android platform you also have to compile for the right target

To compile for a different target you can use the -Dtarget= flag. Not all targets are supported

To compile for the web we use emscripten and you run it like that:

zig build -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten

To run it we do:

zig build run -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten

And to make a relase build we do:

zig build -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

If we want to use rgfw for the web build we could do:

zig build -Dplatform=rgfw -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
