		bonzini on April 14, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Zig build system I am asking for the opposite, i.e. keep everything as is and only add 2-300 lines of zig. In particular, I explicitly don't want to rewrite 15000 lines of build system code, so anything that uses build.zig is a nonstarter.

You can invoke Zig without build.zig:

    zig build-obj file.zig

And then include the object file along with your other sources. How you do this will of course depend on your build system.
