I'm also having build problems on windows with VS2019 while running zig build --verbose -Dwindows=true

.\src\c.zig:1:20: error: C import failed
pub usingnamespace @cImport({
                   ^
.\zig-cache\o\620577f480eb749eeb9c47b56536cb46\cimport.h:1:10: note: 'epoxy/gl.h' file not found
#include <epoxy/gl.h>
         ^
.\src\main.zig:49:10: error: container 'c' has no member called 'glfwSetErrorCallback'
    _ = c.glfwSetErrorCallback(errorCallback);

I'm pretty sure its because one of the dependencies referenced in the readme are missing, but nor sure how to install them...

Right, I get the same on Windows:

C:\Users\hp\src\tetris>zig build play
.\src\c.zig:1:20: error: C import failed
pub usingnamespace @cImport({
                   ^

         ^
.\src\main.zig:49:10: error: container 'c' has no member called 'glfwSetErrorCallback'
    _ = c.glfwSetErrorCallback(errorCallback);
         ^
tetris...The following command exited with error code 1:

@gregorybleiker, I think you're right about dependencies being absent:

Dependencies

• Zig compiler - use the debug build.
• libepoxy
• GLFW

@andrewrk, how does one install libepoxy and GLFW for the project on Windows?

EDIT: Maybe comments from @gregorybleiker and me are different problem from the originally reported one.

[andrewrk]

3dbb8de should address the issue in the short term. In the long term we will switch to using the zig package manager and it will work everywhere the same way without needing to install stuff with vcpkg.
