Zig Build System Internals

Read Original

This technical article explores the internals of Zig's built-in build system. It explains the high-level operation where `zig build` first compiles a `build.zig` file into a build runner binary, which then executes the actual build steps. The article details the declarative API, the anatomy of build steps, and aims to demystify the system to improve developer productivity.
