Zig's build system has a first-class notion of packages that satisfies exactly this requirement. The Ziglearn documentation[0] has more details. To make things a little more interesting though, Zig's shape in this regard should be roughly congruent to C's, so you should be able to do anything with Zig that you can with C. This includes linking against shared objects for C libraries like, e.g., SDL2[1] or building mixed-language Zig+C projects[2]. 0: https://ziglearn.org/chapter-3/#packages https://ziglearn.org/chapter-3/#packages 1: https://dev.to/fabioarnold/setup-zig-for-gamedev-2bmf https://dev.to/fabioarnold/setup-zig-for-gamedev-2bmf 2: https://tiehu.is/blog/zig1 https://tiehu.is/blog/zig1
