'build-exe' silently fails on Windows 10 #6

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Running zig.exe build-exe src/main.zig --library SDL2 --library c --cache-dir zig-cache --name sdl-zig-demo --cache on on Windows 10 fails without any error. Error level is being set to 5.

EDIT: Running zig.exe build run with fixes proposed in PR#5 produces the following error message:

sdl-zig-demo...The following command exited with error code 5:
C:\dev\tools\zig\zig.exe build-exe C:\dev\home\sdl-zig-demo\src\main.zig --library SDL2 --library c --cache-dir C:\dev\home\sdl-zig-demo\zig-cache --name sdl-zig-demo --cache on

Build failed. The following command failed:
C:\dev\home\sdl-zig-demo\zig-cache\o\TbPpDhWzKZpDK8Ivf8V_CBWD7b3sAj64oUXfVFB6ytmlDvnPrOduzc20uYiUWXTT\build.exe C:\dev\tools\zig\zig.exe C:\dev\home\sdl-zig-demo C:\dev\home\sdl-zig-demo\zig-cache run

EDIT 2: This seems to relate to some breaking change in current Zig master code. Zig 0.6 seems to be able to build this on Windows.

This seems to have been fixed in the most recent master release of Zig.

I would like to note that in order for this to work on Windows, you have to put SDL2.dll in the root of the repo. Otherwise, the build fails silently.
