Zig build, how to interoperate with C code

egonik-unlp · February 14, 2025, 11:28pm

Hello,
I am trying to include a function from C code into a zig program. That function relies on curl, which I have installed in my system. My question is, how do I make build.zig aware of it’s location as I would do using gcc.
Thank you very much in advance

this should work, but it might not depending on where curl is located

exe_or_lib.linkSystemLibrary("curl");

To get something similar to -I use std.Build.Step.Compile.addIncludePath
To get something similar to -L use std.Build.Step.Compile.addLibraryPath
what @vulpex said should do something similar pkg-config --cflags --libs curl
