Howdy! I’m trying to build a gameboy emulator using zig - for the UI/Window framework I’m using zig-gamedev monorepo with zgui. I’m on zig version 0.13.0 and had no problems compiling on linux and running the binary with no issue.
However, when I tried to test things on windows, I decided to try the crosscompilation using zig build -Dtarget=x86_64-windows-gnu
This failed with the following errors:
lld-link: error: unknown file type: /home/hamada/code/erato/gb/.zig-cache/o/95774c80e658bfd479a7d4d8e68ae103/dawn.o
lld-link: error: unknown file type: /home/hamada/code/erato/gb/.zig-cache/o/91bfabc12e8f42c7ecf204be7ea526a0/dawn_proc.o
The command that generates this looks like:

It’s absolutely not clear to me what’s wrong with dawn.o
and dawn_proc.o
especially since these are generated by the very command that fails. Does anyone have any insight on what I should look at or what I am missing?
Thanks!
