As it turns out, it takes a while to build LLVM 27 times on one computer! That's how many different targets we provide compiler binaries for now - all cross compiled from one host.
- metaltyphoon 6mo agoI don’t use zig daily, I rather use Rust, but damn this is awesome. I wish Rust would do this too.
- orf 6mo agoDo what? They do provide a significant number of prebuilt binaries?
- metaltyphoon 6mo agoRust relies on a linker being installed (hopefully this will change). There is a lot of Rust libraries that are c wrappers and therefore you will need C compiler installed. Zig on the other hand ships with everything I need to buy from one host to multiple targets out of the box.
