raylib

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)
