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.

  1. 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
  1. Install the zig toolchain

Zupper requires the development version of Zig (0.12.0 at the time of writing). Make sure you install one of the latest versions of Zig.

  1. 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.
