zig build run does not work on MacOS, with zig 0.12.0-dev

[gyulanemeth]

Hello,

I was trying to run the example with zig build run, and I got the following errors:

Shall I use a different zig version perhaps?

[zenith391]

It's because macOS isn't yet supported, although it's planned.

[gyulanemeth]

I see, thanks for the info. I will try it out on a linux machine then.

What do you think, when will mac os be supported?

[zenith391]

It depends (notably on whether I can get zig-objcrt to work) but at least a couple months.

1. zig version ==>0.12.0-dev.3124+9e402704e
2. but zig build not working on window os 11 this throws follolwing error

[zenith391]

Following the recent changes with the Label and Container component being added to the macOS backend by @geon, this should work now.
