Using zig to compile Zen C and programs

[mohankumargupta]

Using zig version 0.16.0-dev.2565+68403267 on Windows 11.

I created a fork https://github.com/mohankumargupta/Zen-C

Using that fork I can run:

zig build

To create zig-out/bin/zc.exe on windows.
I had to modify src/zen/zen_facts.c because zig c compiler is by default a little stricter than gcc/clang defaults.

then i can debug build:

    zig-out\bin\zc.exe build --cc zig helloworld.zc -o helloworld.exe

or release build:

    zig-out\bin\zc.exe build --cc zig -Os -W -s helloworld.zc -o helloworld.exe

PS: LLMs have trouble catching up with latest zig versions, a claude code skill helps guide them https://github.com/rudedogg/zig-skills/blob/main/zig/SKILL.md (or F12 if all else fails)

I will check this tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
