I installed Zig and performed the first two steps of the following successfully:

git clone https://github.com/hexops/mach cd mach/ zig build run-example-boids

But when I try the 'zig build run-example-boids' line, it fails with this error:

PS E:\mach> zig build run-example-boids E:\mach\libs\sysaudio\build.zig:3:23: error: unable to load 'E:\mach\libs\sysaudio\libs\mach-sysjs\build.zig': FileNotFound const sysjs = @import("libs/mach-sysjs/build.zig");

I am running Zig version:

PS E:\mach\libs> zig version 0.10.0-dev.980+db82c1b98

mach-sysjs appears to be a file, and not a directory containing build.zig.

Very excited for this to work! Thank you!

I am on Windows 11. I turned on Developer Mode and set git to use symlinks per the Known Issues page.

It runs a bit further and then spits all of this out:

You need newer version of Zig compiler.

Do I need to build it? The Zig page had this as the latest from master.

I will try a Choco install for Windows. Thanks!

I don't think you have the latest. Latest is here: https://ziglang.org/builds/zig-windows-x86_64-0.10.0-dev.3885+a7661f115.zip

Ok, I'll try this one, but it looks very similar to what I had: zig version 0.10.0-dev.980+db82c1b98

No luck. I did the first step on the "Known issues" page by turning on Developer Mode in Windows and enabling symlinks in git.
The recommended step has "cd mach/gpu". I don't have a mach/gpu directory in my cloned repository of mach. Any ideas or more steps to carry out the first recommendation? I have WSL, but I am not sure what the last step "Run the exe in zig-out/bin/ outside of WSL" means.

Windows does not have symlinks enabled, or Git is not configured to use them. This is very annoying and [has been reported to Microsoft](https://twitter.com/slimsag/status/1508114938933362688).

Two solutions:

    (recommended) Build a native Windows binary by cross-compiling from WSL -> Windows:

    cd mach/gpu
    zig build -Dtarget=x86_64-windows
    Run the exe in zig-out/bin/ outside of WSL.

    Enable symlinks in Windows:

    [Turn on Development Mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/enable-your-device-for-development)
    [Ensure symlinks are installed in Git](https://stackoverflow.com/a/59761201) git config --global core.symlinks true
    Re-clone the repository and try again.

The latest version is 0.10.0-dev.3885+db82c1b98 (not 0.10.0-dev.980+db82c1b98). You are using very old version. Looks like you have the old version in the path.

Excited to see you in the discord! :) We can definitely help quicker / more interactively there, GitHub issues are a bit slower to respond to for things like this. I'll close this for now.
