Items

The following MSBuild items are used by the Zig SDK:

• Compile: Source code files passed to the Zig compiler. By default, the Zig SDK will populate this item type according to the project type.

• PreludeHeader: C/C++ header files that will be automatically #included in every C/C++ source file by way of Clang's -include flag.

• IncludeDirectory: Header include directories passed to the compiler with the -I flag. Note that this applies to Zig as well, not just C/C++.

• LibraryIncludeDirectory: Header include directories passed to the compiler with the -isystem flag. Note that this applies to Zig as well, not just C/C++.

• LinkerDirectory: Library search directories passed to the linker with the -L flag.

• LinkerReference: Names of native libraries that should be linked using the -l flag. These can be either static or dynamic.

• LibraryReference: Direct paths to native library files that should be linked, ignoring library search directories. These can be either static or dynamic.

• CHeader: Prepopulated by the Zig SDK with all files in the project directory ending in .h.

• CSource: Prepopulated by the Zig SDK with all files in the project directory ending in .c.

• CxxHeader: Prepopulated by the Zig SDK with all files in the project directory ending in .hxx.

• CxxHeader: Prepopulated by the Zig SDK with all files in the project directory ending in .cxx.

• ZigSource: Prepopulated by the Zig SDK with all files in the project directory ending in .zig.

• Watch: Files that are monitored by dotnet watch for code changes. The Zig SDK will automatically populate this with all C, C++, and Zig source and header files in the project directory.
