zig 0.10.0
aerc 0.12.0-0-gaa52b295b2ca (go1.19beta1 amd64 linux)
aercbook-v0.1.2

aercbook will NOT build! Zig chokes on something. Can't understand
its error messages.

Hi all,

unfortunately, I'm hitting the same errors [1] when trying to build aercbook
from master using zig 0.10.0.

Did anybody come up with a solution in the meantime?

Kind regards

Hi,

Sorry, my bad! Zig currently is in heavy development and not everything
is stable yet. Regarding aercbook, I used to get away with pointing to
zig-0.9 as being the latest release but this doesn't work anymore.

A few days ago, I pushed the `zig-master` branch to the aercbook
repository which works with the current zig-master (zig-0.11).

I just pushed the `zig-0.10` branch which is a tiny back-port of
`zig-master` for the latest "stable" release of zig: zig-0.10. I
downloaded the binary zig-0.10 and verified that it works.

I'll update the README soon and probably also merge `zig-0.10` into
`master` to keep aercbook working with zig-releases, while trying to
keep up to date with potential future changes in zig or its standard
library in the `zig-master` branch. Might even set up a CI job to get
notified when zig master might introduce a breaking change.

Hope the zig-0.10 branch helps!

Best, 
Rene

Hi Rene,

thanks to your efforts I was able to build aercbook using zig-0.10 from
the master branch.

Thank you!

Thank you for the work! Can you also make it into a new release please?
I'm trying to publish this on the Alpine Linux package repository
(aports), and the request just got rejected for not using an actual
release:
