Hello, thanks for making this, and specifically mach-glfw.
After following the instructions over at hexops/mach-glfw,
I'm getting this error message when running zig build in my project directory:

error: unrecognized file extension of parameter '/Users/kai/Desktop/test-zig-glfw/libs/mach-glfw/upstream/glfw/src/cocoa_joystick.m'
glfw...The following command exited with error code 1:

The build.zig looks like this:

const std = @import("std");
const glfw = @import("libs/mach-glfw/build.zig");

pub fn build(b: *std.build.Builder) void {
    const exe = b.addExecutable("test-zig-glfw", "main.zig");
    exe.addPackagePath("glfw", "libs/mach-glfw/src/main.zig");
    glfw.link(b, exe, .{});
}

Let me know if you need more information.
Please note that this is the very first time I have ever tried to build anything with zig, so I might have missed something crucial.

Hi, it looks like you are running Zig 0.8.1 - in order to use this library you'll need to use a recent Zig master version. You can brew uninstall zig and then brew install zig --HEAD

That should fix it :) Let me know if you still have any issues

Hello, it works now, thank you!

For other starters: I also forgot to add a line like exe.install(...) to the build file:

const std = @import("std");
const glfw = @import("libs/mach-glfw/build.zig");

pub fn build(b: *std.build.Builder) void {
    const exe = b.addExecutable("test-zig-glfw", "main.zig");
    exe.addPackagePath("glfw", "libs/mach-glfw/src/main.zig");
    glfw.link(b, exe, .{});
    exe.install();
}

You can use zig init-exe and zig init-lib to create a skeleton Zig project, I highly recommend using that :) It'll help you get the other bits like adding cross-compilation flags to your build.zig for you
