2. Fork the upstream project (optionally remove other -- now useless :^) -- build scripts),
oh god, it's meson wrapdb all over again. my heart goes out to all the library maintainers who'll have zig users go into their issue tracker like "and if you don't want this patch, don't worry, i'll just submit it to allyourcodebase" implicitly threatening upstream with a perpetual drip-feed of issues pertaining to a questionably-maintained fork they don't control.
Make / GNUMake / CMake / autoconf / bash scripts / batch scripts / powershell scripts: Zig is a complete build system that works on all supported platforms and can do everything those other tools do.
this bodes well.
i am begging people to please stop doing this genre of "compatibility" initiative.
