android build support

[zhmt]

Hi , I am trying to embed it into my android game (a c++ project), will you please add cross build for android? static and shared, debug and release options?
I am not farmiliar with zig.
But I have built a "libcyber.a" static libary succsussfully.

It encounted some errors, and it fixed by modifing the build.zig. Maybe you guys will do better. Here is my building command:
zig build lib -Doptimize=ReleaseFast -Dtarget=aarch64-linux-android

The modifed build.zig is attached, just focus on lines including "addIncludePath(.{ .path = "D:/Prog/Android.....".

I will be happy if android building is supported. Thank you.

I can confirm that the c-embedded/main.c is working with static library build using zig build lib -Doptimize=ReleaseFast -Dtarget=aarch64-linux-android. Dynamic library builds should be avoided.

I'm against releasing large debug artifacts, but we can add a Release artifact for aarch64-linux-android in the near term and add tests later, and I can also attach an example Android NDK project.

Edit: Well this is awkward, I have included an example project but it requires a patch to Zig 0.12.0, see the README. I would have upgraded to 0.13.0 but that version introduces miscompilation for packed structs. So far now we are stuck on 0.12.0 and will have to hold off on a Android release artifact.

Thanks for your response, I downloaded the source from master, It works well. Let me try linking to the static library.

what target should be used for IOS static library ?

what target should be used for IOS static library ?
aarch64-ios

ziglang/zig#19217
the targets are defined by zig lang. you can search in zig github.

I got this error now, difficult to figure out.
zig building is too buggy now, maybe I should try it a few days later.
Thanks for your help, @fubark.
