Installation fails when `examples` directory is missing

[xixixao]

Total zig n00b here: After I add

const yazap = b.dependency("yazap", .{});
exe.root_module.addImport("yazap", yazap.module("yazap"));

to my build.zig (which I haven't changed from zig init)

I get an error about missing examples directory:

Creating examples directory in my project fixes it, but I assume this is not intended?

Yeah, I didn't expect that to fail. Let me fix it.

Closing this issue as completed now :)
