Error when building about capy HOT 6 CLOSED

You might need to pull latest commits as this was fixed in 60cfed7

However you're right in that explicitly mentioning the exact Zig version would be better. I'll add this to the README.

from capy.

Yea, it's caused by the fact that Capy always targets the latest Zig master version. The 34bf939 commit was made to fix compile errors introduced by the API change added in zig ceb0a63.
To fix the bug, just download and install the latest Zig version from the website: https://ziglang.org/download/

from capy.

The quick start docs don't say anything about targeting zig master. should I open a ticket for that?

@zenith391 I can't build the template with the latest Zig version either (0.11.0-dev.1594+a5d25fabd)

the relevant Zig commit, I believe: ziglang/zig@063888a

It would be indeed nicer if README explicitly mentions exact Zig version.

@zenith391 the main repo is fixed, however the template still uses old format

from capy.

I'd also mention prerequisites somewhere (sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev in my case)
Anyway, got it working, all good.
