Asio Standalone for Zig Package Manager (MVP)

• Original source: https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio

How to use

• Download Zig v0.16.0 or higher
• Make on your project build.zig & build.zig.zon file

e.g:

• build.zig

constasio_dep=b.dependency("asio", .{ // <== as declared in build.zig.zon
.target=target, // the same as passing `-Dtarget=<...>` to the library's build.zig script
.optimize=optimize, // ditto for `-Doptimize=<...>`
});
constlibasio=asio_dep.artifact("asio"); // <== has the location of the dependency files (asio)/// your executable configexe.linkLibrary(libasio); // <== link libasioexe.installLibraryHeaders(libasio); // <== get copy asio headers to zig-out/include 

• build.zig.zon

# '--save=asio': (over)write latest git commit (no need manually update)
$ zig fetch --save=asio git+https://github.com/kassane/asio

or add manually to your build.zig.zon file:

.{
.name="example",
.version="0.1.0",
.paths= .{""},
.dependencies= .{
.asio= .{
.url="https://github.com/kassane/asio/archive/[tag/commit-hash].tar.gz",
// or
.url="git+https://https://github.com/kassane/asio#commit-hash",
.hash="[multihash - sha256-2]",
},
},
}
