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

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

Then, in your build.zig:

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

// to use from Zig (since 5.16.4+5):
mod.addImport("libpq", postgres.module("libpq"));

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