libuv

This is libuv, packaged for Zig.

Status

In theory, the full intersection of platforms supported by libuv and platforms supported by Zig are supported build targets, but the less common targets are not tested.

Building the unit test executable for linux (and possibly other platforms) does not currently work because the unit test files directly #include some of the libuv source files (while also linking to libuv.a), and that causes duplicate symbol errors unless the linker command is assembled in a specific order. The zig build system does not enforce a specific order.

Usage

First, update your build.zig.zon:

# Initialize a zig project if you haven't already
zig init
# replace <refname> with the version you want to use, e.g. 1.50.0
zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/allyourcodebase/libuv.git#<refname>

You can then import libuv in your build.zig with:

const libuv_dep = b.dependency("libuv", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});
your_exe.linkLibrary(libuv_dep.artifact("uv"));

Dependencies

libuv only depends on core operating system libraries (and libc).
