Your environment is fine.
Mine is:

test.c is not included in the build
Use addCSourceFile to compile it and link with it.

exe.addCSourceFile(.{.file = b.path("src/test.c")});

it worked, thnx, so i have to include every single file in the build file ? just pointing it towards a path is not enough ?

You must include all the C files.
