I recently updated to the new current stable 0.16.0 and I guess I’m having migration/teething issues. I will provide further info on request. I’m new here, I don’t really know the norms.

I guess I should say that I am on Manjaro (ArchLinux). I added SDL3 (from codeburg) and ZigZag (from github, possibly not the latest, mite have moved?) to the project.

I recently ran into this issue too but only when building a project with a C dependency (in your case SDL3).

You should try building using the LLVM backend with 0.16 Linker error when building Zig from source - #5 by alexrp

You can also downgrade your libc in arch as a workaround https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/31272#issuecomment-13790015

Is this possibly because zig isn’t using the folders that were installed with the zig binary? I used the AUR zig-0.16-bin package which installs in /opt/zig-0.16 and has a symlink to /usr/lib/zig.

The official Zig package is now version 0.16.0 so removing the AUR package and installing the official package fixed it. Not sure why.

Seems the official Zig package now contains the commit with the fix too
