Zig Build System & How to Build Software From Source • Andrew Kelley • GOTO 2023

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Chicago 2023. #GOTOcon #GOTOchgo Andrew Kelley - Creator of the Zig Programming Language ORIGINAL TALK TITLE How to Build Software From Source RESOURCES ABSTRACT Building software from source can seem like arcane magic; a lost art of history. In fact, it is a skill that can be mastered by learning just a few basic concepts, and resisting the temptation to overcomplicate. This talk will teach you some real world skills of building software from source, and then I’ll take things in a completely different direction, by showing you how to rip apart a project’s build system and replace it with the Zig Build System, making building things from source work effortlessly for more people and more platforms.
