## Building from Source
|
|
|
|
[](https://dev.azure.com/ziglang/zig/_build/latest?definitionId=1&branchName=master)
|
|
|
|
Note that you can
|
|
[download a binary of master branch](https://ziglang.org/download/#release-master).
|
|
|
|
### Stage 1: Build Zig from C++ Source Code
|
|
|
|
#### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
##### POSIX
|
|
|
|
* cmake >= 2.8.5
|
|
* gcc >= 5.0.0 or clang >= 3.6.0
|
|
* LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 8.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
|
|
- Use the system package manager, or [build from source](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/How-to-build-LLVM,-libclang,-and-liblld-from-source#posix).
|
|
|
|
##### Windows
|
|
|
|
* cmake >= 2.8.5
|
|
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.8)
|
|
* LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 8.x, compiled with the same MSVC version above
|
|
- Use the [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/How-to-build-LLVM,-libclang,-and-liblld-from-source#pre-built-binaries) or [build from source](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/How-to-build-LLVM,-libclang,-and-liblld-from-source#windows).
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions
|
|
|
|
##### POSIX
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### MacOS
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
brew install cmake llvm@8
|
|
brew outdated llvm@8 || brew upgrade llvm@8
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/llvm/8.0.0_1
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Windows
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Building-Zig-on-Windows
|
|
|
|
### Stage 2: Build Self-Hosted Zig from Zig Source Code
|
|
|
|
*Note: Stage 2 compiler is not complete. Beta users of Zig should use the
|
|
Stage 1 compiler for now.*
|
|
|
|
Dependencies are the same as Stage 1, except now you can use stage 1 to compile
|
|
Zig code.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bin/zig build --prefix $(pwd)/stage2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This produces `./stage2/bin/zig` which can be used for testing and development.
|
|
Once it is feature complete, it will be used to build stage 3 - the final compiler
|
|
binary.
|
|
|
|
### Stage 3: Rebuild Self-Hosted Zig Using the Self-Hosted Compiler
|
|
|
|
*Note: Stage 2 compiler is not yet able to build Stage 3. Building Stage 3 is
|
|
not yet supported.*
|
|
|
|
Once the self-hosted compiler can build itself, this will be the actual
|
|
compiler binary that we will install to the system. Until then, users should
|
|
use stage 1.
|
|
|
|
#### Debug / Development Build
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./stage2/bin/zig build --prefix $(pwd)/stage3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Release / Install Build
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./stage2/bin/zig build install -Drelease
|
|
```
