Hi, my intention is to create binaries as releases for different targets, I depend on a library that is a wrapper for lmdb, when I build not trying other target, I get no errors; I’m on Linux Debian and have the distro lmdb-dev package.
My zig.zon has the following
.dependencies = .{
.@"lmdb-zig" = .{
.url = "https://github.com/john-g4lt/lmdb-zig/archive/refs/tags/v0.1.0.tar.gz",
.hash = "1220a44f2880d150589664ee936da3b856674d732cbf02b4714a7282fa752facad97",
},
.clap = .{
.url = "https://github.com/Hejsil/zig-clap/archive/refs/tags/0.9.1.tar.gz",
.hash = "122062d301a203d003547b414237229b09a7980095061697349f8bef41be9c30266b",
},
},
My build.zig is including lmdb :
const lib = b.addStaticLibrary(.{
.name = "tldrtranslate",
.root_source_file = b.path("src/tldr-base.zig"),
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
const lmdb_zig = b.dependency("lmdb-zig", .{ .target = target, .optimize = optimize });
lib.linkLibrary(lmdb_zig.artifact("lmdb-zig"));
b.installArtifact(lib);
const clap = b.dependency("clap", .{});
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "tldrtranslate",
.root_source_file = b.path("src/main.zig"),
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
exe.root_module.addImport("lmdb-zig", lmdb_zig.module("lmdb-zig-mod"));
exe.root_module.addImport("clap", clap.module("clap"));
exe.linkLibrary(lmdb_zig.artifact("lmdb-zig"));
b.installArtifact(exe);
When I issue:
zig build --release=small -Dtarget=x86_64-native
My zig-out looks like
$ tree zig-out/
zig-out/
├── bin
│ └── tldrtranslate
└── lib
├── libtldrtranslate.a
└── tldrtranslate.lib
zig version is 0.13.0
But when I try
zig build --release=small -Dtarget=x86_64-linux
I get
install
└─ install tldrtranslate
└─ zig build-exe tldrtranslate ReleaseSmall x86_64-linux 2 errors

What am I missing?
And later one to automate the release, what is the preferred way to do so? Is it with additional steps in the build process? If this is the case, maybe is there a template for that purpose?
