Just tried building from source using following 3 commands:

git clone https://github.com/hexops/mach-gpu-dawn
cd mach-gpu-dawn
zig build -Ddawn-from-source=true

Getting build error immediately:

Thanks for filing this, sorry I didn't see it sooner.

You will need to replace a symlinks with a clone of a dependency, this is a bit of a hack until Zig gets a proper package manager, sorry about that.

git clone https://github.com/hexops/mach-gpu-dawn
cd mach-gpu-dawn/
rm -rf libs/mach-glfw
git clone https://github.com/hexops/mach-glfw libs/mach-glfw

Then you should be able to proceed with zig build -Ddawn-from-source=true

Please make sure to use Zig v0.10 (nightly), not v0.9, which you can get a binary release of at the top of this page: https://ziglang.org/download/

I'll update the README soon to clarify this, sorry for the trouble! Let me know if that doesn't help.
