  zig build for vendored libghostty-vt failed: exit status: 2

Root cause

Vendored libghostty-vt was written for Zig 0.15.2. Between 0.15.2 and 0.17.0:

  1. @cImport builtin was removed (used in pkg/wuffs/src/c.zig)
  2. readFileAlloc signature changed from 3 args to 4 args (used in build.zig build scripts)
  3. requireZig compile-time check bails on version mismatch

Fix

Install Zig 0.15.2: https://ziglang.org/download/0.15.2/zig-linux-x86_64-0.15.2.tar.xz

tar -xf zig-linux-x86_64-0.15.2.tar.xz -C ~/.local/
ln -sf ~/.local/zig-linux-x86_64-0.15.2/zig ~/.local/bin/zig
zig version  # should print 0.15.2
