Zig package manager

[MoAlyousef]

zfltk should now be usable via the package manager. This requires a newer version of the Zig toolchain (currently 0.11 dev). Development is currently ongoing in the main branch.

The old master branch was renamed to pre_zpm. It’s usable with Zig 0.10.

To use zfltk via the package manager:

• Create a build.zig.zon in your project root:

// build.zig.zon
.{
    .name = "app",
    .version = "0.0.1",
    .dependencies = .{
        .zfltk = .{
            .url = "https://github.com/MoAlyousef/zfltk/archive/refs/tags/pkg0.0.6.tar.gz",
            .hash = "1220ca0756f0d49e4f5be5776776fb74d359c540251e5bb6cd73b3df9b7f90e30afe",
        },
    }
}

(this is missing the hash, zig build will give you the correct hash)

• Modify your build.zig:

const std = @import("std");
const Sdk = @import("zfltk");
const Build = std.Build;

pub fn build(b: *Build) !void {
    const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
    const mode = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});
    const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
        .name = "app",
        .root_source_file = .{.path = "src/main.zig" },
        .optimize = mode,
        .target = target,
    });

    const sdk = try Sdk.init(b);
    const zfltk_module = sdk.getZfltkModule(b);
    exe.addModule("zfltk", zfltk_module);
    try sdk.link(exe);

    b.installArtifact(exe);

    const run_cmd = b.addRunArtifact(exe);
    if (b.args) |args| {
        run_cmd.addArgs(args);
    }

    const run_step = b.step("run", "Run the app");
    run_step.dependOn(&run_cmd.step);
}

zfltk will always also be usable via vendoring, more info can be found in the main branch README.md.
