# `protobuf-c` Runtime
|
|
|
|
This is the [protobuf-c runtime](https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c/tree/master/protobuf-c), packaged for [Zig](https://ziglang.org/).
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
This project only builds the `protobuf-c` runtime library. It does not build `protoc-c`, the corresponding protocol buffers C language code generator.
|
|
|
|
The runtime library depends only on a small amount of functionality from libc, so it should compile for most targets. Linux, macOS and Windows are tested by CI.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
First, update your `build.zig.zon`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Initialize a `zig build` project if you haven't already
|
|
zig init
|
|
# replace <refname> with the version you want to use, e.g. 1.5.0
|
|
zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/allyourcodebase/protobuf-c#<refname>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then use `protobuf_c` in your `build.zig` with:
|
|
|
|
```zig
|
|
const protobuf_c_dep = b.dependency("protobuf_c", .{
|
|
.target = target,
|
|
.optimize = optimize,
|
|
});
|
|
your_exe.linkLibrary(protobuf_c_dep.artifact("protobuf_c"));
|
|
```
