Zig Build Scripts for C Libraries: Include Paths, Link Flags, and Generated Artifacts

A practical two-hour session on Zig Build Scripts for C Libraries, focused on Include Paths, Link Flags, and Generated Artifacts. Zig is used realistically for systems tooling, C interop, parsing, build workflows, and performance-minded components rather than pretending it is a full web platform.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Zig Build Scripts for C Libraries
• Apply Include Paths in a small working example
• Apply Link Flags in a small working example
• Apply and Generated Artifacts in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
