Use

Add the dependency in your build.zig.zon by running the following command:

zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/allyourcodebase/grpc#master

Then, in your build.zig:

const grpc = b.dependency("grpc", { .target = target, .optimize = optimize });

// to use from Zig:
mod.addImport("cgrpc", grpc.module("cgrpc"));

// to use from C:
exe.linkLibrary(grpc.artifact("grpc"));
