zfp-zig: zfp packaged for the Zig programming language

This is the ZFP C compression library for the Zig programming language. Currently does not wrap the C++ compressed array classes.

How do I include it in my Zig program?

If you are starting a new package:

mkdir my_project; cd my_project
zig init
## add the package to 'build.zig.zon'
zig fetch --save=zfp git+https://github.com/allyourcodebase/zfp.git

This will add the zig C library as a dependency to your project. Next, if you are linking it to a library or executable, add the following to build.zig:

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) !void {
    const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});

    const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

    const zfp_dep = b.dependency("zfp", .{
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

    // if you are linking it to a library...
    const lib_mod = b.createModule(.{
        .root_source_file = b.path("src/root.zig"),
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

    lib_mod.linkLibrary(zfp_dep.artifact("zfp"));
        
    // or, if you are linking it to an executable...
    const exe_mod = b.createModule(.{
        .root_source_file = b.path("src/main.zig"),
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

    exe_mod.linkLibrary(zfp_dep.artifact("zfp"));
}

Requirements

The target version of Zig is 0.14. It may work with earlier versions, but has not been tested.
