zig2nix
A Nix flake for packaging, building, and running Zig projects with dependency management and cross-compilation.
What is zig2nix?
zig2nix is a Nix flake that provides tooling for packaging, building, and running Zig projects within the Nix ecosystem. It solves the problem of managing Zig dependencies and build environments reproducibly by bridging Zig's native tooling with Nix's package management. It handles tasks like converting Zig dependency files to Nix derivations, providing versioned Zig compilers, and enabling cross-compilation.
Zig developers who use or want to use Nix for reproducible builds and dependency management, especially those working on cross-platform projects or needing precise control over their build environment.
Developers choose zig2nix because it seamlessly integrates Zig with Nix's powerful reproducible build system, eliminating dependency hell and ensuring consistent builds across different machines. Its unique selling point is providing a full suite of Zig-specific tooling (like zon file conversion and multi-version support) as a native Nix flake.
