Having issues using within zig build system following the README #6

Hi,

first off I just wanted to say I appreciate the work you're doing with these packages.

I'm currently just dipping a toe and following the outline here. However, I'm getting this build error

thread 6001253 panic: no dependency named 'dawn_aarch64_macos' in '.../build.zig.zon'. All packages used in build.zig must be declared in this file

from the line

@import("zgpu").addLibraryPathsTo(exe);

Is the intention that the dawn dependencies should be added to my projects build.zig.zon or am I missing something obvious?

Just for context I'm currently running zig version -> 0.14.0-dev.2034+56996a280

Hi!

Yes, Zig's package manager requires that you add all non-lazy dependencies and sub-dependencies to your build.zig.zon. You can manually copy the dependency entries out of the lib's build.zig.zon info your projects build.zig.zon, or give the URLs to zig fetch --save {url}.

I will update all of the lib READMEs to explain this setup step and ensure URLs are kept up to date.

Just for context I'm currently running zig version -> 0.14.0-dev.2034+56996a280

The main branch is currently tracking the latest Mach nominated version. You can check the .zigversion file for any revision to know what version that particular revision is targeting.
