Building

Requirements

• Zig 0.15.2+
• macOS 13+ or Linux with libnotify

Static Library

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

Produces zig-out/lib/libzig-notify.a with the C header at include/zig_notify.h.

With Nix

nix develop        # dev shell with Zig 0.15.2

Running Tests

zig build test

Platform Dependencies

macOS: Uses the system osascript binary. No Apple notification framework is linked by this library.

Linux: Requires libnotify-dev:

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install libnotify-dev

# Fedora
sudo dnf install libnotify-devel

Linux runtime delivery also requires a desktop notification daemon such as GNOME Shell, dunst, mako, or another implementation that receives libnotify/D-Bus notifications.
