libpcre.zig
Use via the zig package manager (Zig v0.12+):
$ zig fetch --save https://github.com/kivikakk/libpcre.zig/archive/<commit hash>.tar.gz
Then add the following to build.zig
(a source build of pcre
will be linked against automatically):
const pcre_pkg = b.dependency("libpcre.zig", .{ .optimize = optimize, .target = target });
const pcre_mod = pcre_pkg.module("libpcre");
exe.root_module.addImport("pcre", pcre_mod);
To link against the system libpcre
, add the system_library
build option like this:
Note, only the following systems support this mode:
-
Linux:
apt install pkg-config libpcre3-dev
-
macOS:
brew install pkg-config pcre
-
Windows: install vcpkg,vcpkg integrate install
,vcpkg install pcre --triplet x64-windows-static
Zig doesn't have vcpkg integration any more. Suggestions welcome!
const pcre_pkg = b.dependency("libpcre.zig", .{ .optimize = optimize, .target = target, .system_library = "true" });
