Add a top-level CMakeLists.txt that wraps `zig build lib-vt` so that CMake-based downstream projects can consume libghostty-vt without needing to interact with the Zig build system directly. A custom command triggers the zig build during `cmake --build`, and the resulting shared library is exposed as an IMPORTED target. Downstream projects can pull in the library via FetchContent, which fetches the source and builds it as part of their own CMake build, or via find_package after a manual install step. The package config template in dist/cmake/ sets up the ghostty-vt::ghostty-vt target with proper include paths and macOS rpath handling. A c-vt-cmake example demonstrates the FetchContent workflow, creating a terminal, writing VT sequences, and formatting the output as plain text. CI is updated to auto-discover and build CMake-based examples alongside the existing Zig-based ones.
Examples
Standalone projects demonstrating the Ghostty library APIs.
The directories starting with c- use the C API and the directories
starting with zig- use the Zig API.
Every example can be built and run using zig build and zig build run
from within the respective example directory.
Even the C API examples use the Zig build system (not the language) to
build the project.
Running an Example
cd example/<dir>
zig build run
