Hello,
I just wanted to share something that helped me clear my mental fog about the build system.
https://codeberg.org/Yinameah/zig-build-system-for-dummies
It’s a very simple repo. One small executable that pretty print paths, and one little helper struct in the build script that pass the resolved lazyPath as argument to the aforementioned script.
I originally envision to develop some kind of “package” to print stuff relevant to many build steps, but turns out clarifying the basics was all the help I needed (for now ?)
Although I suspect writing this is much more valuable to understand than reading it, I share it here in the hope it might help other to reach a similar enlightenment
