Does anyone have any good examples of Zig being used as a build system for a large project?

Coming from a Windows world when my gigantic C++ project is hidden inside a vcxproj I dont delve into that often, I tried to compile a standard autoconf based project into wasm the other week and eventually gave up.

Use autoconf to create your cmake to create your make which builds your lib? and wrap all those calls with emscripten calls...or something along those lines. It was exhausting. Eventually it errored out becuase it couldn't decide if the size of a size_t was available. I was tempted to just remove that line from the cmake.
