ctags-zig: universal-ctags built with Zig

This uses Zig as a C/C++ compiler to build universal-ctags in a hermetic build environment, cross-compiling to most major OSs.

Building

Via Docker

./build-all-docker.sh

Natively (macOS or Linux)

Make sure you have:

• A recent (nightly) version of Zig
• Linux: apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool gperf pkg-config
• macOS: brew install autoconf automake libtool coreutils

Run ./build-all.sh

Important: libseccomp can only be built from a Linux host machine, so if building under macOS then Linux ctags binaries produced will not have seccomp.
