SDL3_Mixer on Zig

This repository wraps the upstream SDL3_Mixer library source code with Zig’s build system.

Zig 0.15.2 is required.

The build setup support the following audio decoders:

• FLAC through dr_flac
• GME’s formats
• MIDI through TiMidity
• Module/tracker music through XMP
• MP3 through dr_mp3
• Opus
• Vorbis

It also uses castholm’s SDL3 port by default.

Installing as a build.zig.zon package

Run in your Zig project:

zig fetch --save-exact=sdl3_mixer git+https://github.com/lateleite/sdl3_mixer-on-zig.git

Then in your build.zig file:

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) !void {
    // ...

    // Add a reference to the package you've just fetched...
    const dep_mixer = b.dependency("sdl3_mixer", .{
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
        // you may choose to use your system's SDL3 library,
        // instead of building and statically linking another.
        //.@"use-system-sdl" = false,
    });
    const lib_mixer = dep_mixer.artifact("SDL_mixer");

    // ...then link the library to your module
    your_module.linkLibrary(lib_mixer);

    // ...
}

After that, you may use SDL3_Mixer’s header files in your module.
