• https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Building-Static-Zig-on-macOS instructions don't work:

https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/llvm-10.0.0.src.tar.xz doesn't exist

echo $LLVMVER
10.0.1

wget https://releases.llvm.org/$LLVMVER/llvm-$LLVMVER.src.tar.xz

ditto with 10.0.0

• wget https://releases.llvm.org/$LLVMVER/llvm-$LLVMVER.src.tar.xz is also wrong in https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/ci/azure/macos_script#L18
• ditto with wget https://releases.llvm.org/$LLVMVER/clang-$LLVMVER.src.tar.xz

[timotheecour]

it should be either:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-10.0.0/llvm-10.0.0.src.tar.xz
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-10.0.0/llvm-project-10.0.0.tar.xz

I think you can update the Wiki page yourself.

Those instructions aren't really the official way to build zig on macOS anyway, they're more documenting it for maintainers of the CI such as myself. Anyway this is not an issue in the compiler. Feel free to correct the wiki, or just wait until I need to refer to the instructions myself and update it.
