zig build gives error

zig build:

Thanks!

Yes, the build file was for Zig 0.10.

I've updated it for Zig 0.11. Note that you now need to use the zig build -Drelease command to get a release build.

Thank you!

Perhaps you'd like me to open a new issue for this, but if I do zig build -Drelease:

I'm guessing I am missing some dependency now..? I do have: libc6-dev:amd64: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/ioctl.h and /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/stdlib.h

[jedisct1]

Ah, sorry for that, I didn't try on linux.

Can you git pull and try again?

[pepa65]

That does the trick! I'm guessing the -Drelease addition is just to optimize the build (and make it smaller)?

[jedisct1]

Yes, it's going to be way smaller and faster with -Drelease.
