zig build fails with 'no member named use_stage1'

[ysgard]

On Linux (Fedora 36) using zig 0.9.1, using a completely fresh copy of zls.

➜  git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/zigtools/zls
Cloning into 'zls'...
<snip>
➜  cd zls
➜  zig build -Drelease-safe
./build.zig:12:8: error: no member named 'use_stage1' in struct 'std.build.LibExeObjStep'

zls only builds with the master branch of zig, zls does not work with 0.9.1

[ysgard]

Ah 🤦 I missed that part. Thank you, and I'm sorry.

Hello there, I'm a new user and I'm using zig in my android device for playground tests, zls isn't working and provide same error, @truemedian what do you advice me to do to make it work ?
(Note : zls work very well in my PC).

[nektro]

by using a newer zig as mentioned above https://ziglang.org/download/

[annymosse]

@nektro https://ziglang.org/download/ doesn't include armv7a architecture for (version 0.10.x) so I can't build current zls master with zig 0.9.1 from my Android device.

[nektro]

in that case you'd have to cross compile zig on your desktop or wait for the 0.10.0 release happening on nov 1

[annymosse]

@nektro I'm so excited to start using it, Hopefully zigtools/zls will provide a pre-built version of zls for arm archs in the future.

(Edited: Currently can't compile it in my laptop of 8GB RAM 😅)

[Vexu]

Note that you don't need an armv7a zig binary to build an armv7a zls binary, if you have some other device available you should be able to cross-compile zls by passing -Dtarget=arm-linux

[annymosse]

@Vexu ohh my bad 🤦🏻‍♂️ ; I forgot that I can use my laptop to compile zls to arm arch using already pre-built zig version 0.10.0, @Vexu thank you to remind me so much.

Edit: I have tried to buid zls using the current version of zig-linux-x86_64-0.10.0-dev.4474+b41b35f57, then it failed with the following log:

I'm also having this issue, however my Zig version is 0.11.0-dev.617+1310ef757. I assume zls still only builds against Master. However a previous error for installing against zig 0.10.0 said

Soooo I'm a bit stuck.

See ziglang/zig#13560. I'll fix this tonight.
