import zig package from another zig package

Question

I can import an package in my executable with exe.addPackagePath("name", "path") and usae it with const name = @import("name");. Now I want to include the package in another package, but I don´t understand how. Can I create an object for the package to set addPackagePath() on?

Instead of using addPackagePath, create Pkg structs directly (this way you will be able to specify sub-depencencies), and then use addPackage.

Here's an usage example of Pkg:

And here's how the structs are added to the executable:
