This is on Ubuntu 21.10, zig 0.9.1

Cheers!

Hi Russell! Unfortunately the Zig compiler is in constant flux and compiler version 0.9.1 does not build the latest version of this project. You can obtain the master tarball from https://ziglang.org/download or build Zig yourself in order to build the project.

Cool, thanks, build worked with zig version "0.10.0-dev.2054+3ed9ef3e6"

Now to play with it...
