This project was created using these steps

Create a new local git repository

git init myproject
cd myproject

Add Zydis as a submodule

mkdir deps
git submodule add 'https://github.com/zyantific/zydis.git' deps/zydis
git submodule update --init --recursive

Create CMakeLists.txt and myproject.c

# Register Zydis dependency.
# Disable build of tools and examples.
