## Summary > [!IMPORTANT] > Stacked on #12214. Review that first. (i am targeting `main` so here you will see the full changeset, including 12214 Two changes that make the static libghostty archive consumable by external linkers (MSVC link.exe, .NET NativeAOT, Rust, Go, etc.): **Fat static archive on all platforms** The static archive previously only bundled vendored deps on macOS (via libtool). On Windows and Linux the archive contained only the Zig-compiled code, requiring consumers to find and link freetype, harfbuzz, glslang, spirv-cross, simdutf, oniguruma, etc. separately. Now all platforms produce a single fat archive: - macOS: libtool (unchanged) - Windows: zig ar qcL --format=coff (MSVC's lib.exe can't read Zig-produced GNU-format archives, so we use the bundled LLVM archiver) - Linux: ar -M with MRI scripts (same approach as libghostty-vt) **MSVC ubsan suppression for C deps** Zig's ubsan runtime can't be bundled on Windows (LNK4229), leaving __ubsan_handle_* symbols unresolved. freetype, glslang, spirv-cross, and highway already suppress ubsan. This adds MSVC-conditional suppression to seven more: harfbuzz, libpng, dcimgui, wuffs, oniguruma, zlib, and stb. Gated on abi == .msvc so ubsan coverage is preserved on Linux/macOS. ## Test plan - [x] zig build produces a fat ghostty-static.lib (~230MB) with ~200 object files - [x] MSVC's lib /LIST can read the archive - [x] .NET NativeAOT consumer resolves all symbols (0 unresolved) - [x] Linux/macOS builds unaffected (ubsan remains enabled)
Packages
This folder contains packages written for and used by Ghostty that could potentially be useful for other projects. These are in-tree with Ghostty because I don't want to maintain them as separate projects (i.e. get dedicated issues, PRs, etc.). If you want to use them, you can copy and paste them into your project.
