Very likely a zig version mismatch, you're probably using a nightly master build of zig instead of the required released version of zig.

See the readme.

There is a point in using the release version of zig: zap projects don't need to update their code and dependencies as zig master keeps evolving.

Released zig is not an old version of zig that you should avoid, it's the release version. Zig master is not even alpha.
