raylib/examples

Building the Examples

The examples assume you have already built the raylib library in ../src.

With GNU make

• make builds all examples
• make [module] builds all examples for a particular module (e.g make core)

With Zig

The Zig toolchain can compile C and C++ in addition to Zig. You may find it easier to use than other toolchains, especially when it comes to cross-compiling.

• zig build to compile all examples
• zig build [module] to compile all examples for a module (e.g. zig build core)
• zig build [example] to compile and run a particular example (e.g. zig build core_basic_window)
