building

Linux

Zupper requires libarchive to be installed. libarchive is used to unpack the compiler toolchain. This dependency will probably be swapped out for zig a version at some point once a suitable library pops up.

Install the dependencies.

You probably already have them installed, but just to make sure, here are the commands to install them.

Arch:

pacman -S --needed \
    libarchive

Debian:

apt install \
    libarchive-dev

Install the zig toolchain

Zupper requires the 0.12.0 version of Zig. You can get a compiler from the Zig website, or your distribution's package manager.

Build it!

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast -p ~/.local

macOS

I'll be honest here, I got no idea.

You should be able to do it in a similar fashion to Linux.

windows

It might work if you can get the dependencies working. Maybe, I'll add static linking some day.

As for now, good luck lol.
