My understanding is Zig authors have the ambition to use zig as a build system for C projects (and more?). I know that a few projects have already been converted either unofficially (ffmpeg and its dependencies) or officially (raylib).
Is there a list somewhere of those projects that has been “zigged” ?
What I could gather for now:
- libz: GitHub - andrewrk/libz: zlib with the build system replaced by zig
- libmp3lame: GitHub - andrewrk/libmp3lame: libmp3lame with the build system replaced by zig
- libvorbis: GitHub - andrewrk/libvorbis: libvorbis with the build system replaced by zig
- libogg: GitHub - andrewrk/libogg: libogg with the build system replaced by zig
- nasm: GitHub - andrewrk/nasm: nasm with the build system replaced by zig
- ffmpeg: GitHub - andrewrk/ffmpeg: ffmpeg with the build system replaced by zig
- SDL: GitHub - andrewrk/SDL: SDL with the build system replaced by Zig
- libebur128: GitHub - andrewrk/libebur128: libebur128 with the build system replaced by zig

Note that I didn’t check the status of those projects.
