Thor

A self-hosted build tool for the Zap programming language.

Requirements

• Zap v0.4.0

Building from Source

Thor uses itself for its second build. The first build uses zapc directly.

Step 1 -> Bootstrap

git clone https://github.com/thezaplang/thor
cd thor
./build.sh

Step 2 -> Self-hosted build

Once the bootstrap binary exists, rebuild Thor with Thor itself:

./build/thor build

You now have a fully self-hosted Thor binary.

The bootstrap build restores Thor's pinned zap-toml dependency under vendor/ and uses Zap's failable filesystem API. Make sure zapc is available in PATH.

Adding to PATH

# Option A - copy to a directory already in PATH
sudo cp build/thor /usr/local/bin/thor

# Option B - add the build directory to PATH (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc)
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/thor/build"
source ~/.bashrc

Verify:

thor --version

Usage

thor new <project_name>
thor build
thor run
thor build --compiler /path/to/zapc
thor build -- --emit-ir

Dependencies

To add a dependency, run:

thor add <github_url>
