My Zig + VS Code Setup for multiple Zig versions

[Techatrix]

IMO the VS Code extension should manage the Zig installation. You should be able to choose which version you want from a convenient UI, and the default should be to use minimum_zig_version from the project’s build.zig.zon.

This feature is already in the VS Code extension. See ziglang/vscode-zig#230

. I kept running into issues where the Zig VS Code extension couldn’t find the Zig binary or it would link to the wrong version of the standard library.

I would suggest to report this to the extension’s issue tracker. The problem that has been mentioned in the linked post is a bug that should be investigated and fixed.
