Basic Executable

The simplest possible buildx.zig project.

build.zig

const std = @import("std");
const buildx = @import("buildx");

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
    _ = buildx.project(b, .{
        .name = "hello",
        .root = "src/main.zig",
        .install = true,
    });
}

src/main.zig

const std = @import("std");

pub fn main() void {
    std.debug.print("Hello from buildx.zig!\n", .{});
}

Build & Run

zig build
zig-out/bin/hello

Output:

Hello from buildx.zig!

What Happens

• install = true creates an install step
• zig build compiles and installs to zig-out/bin/hello
• No run step - you execute the binary directly
