[patent basin]

I installed zig 0.11 and I cant compile anything even having a clean init-exe gives me this error

error(mingw): clang exited with code 1 and stderr: error: unknown target triple 'x86-unknown-windows-gnu', please use -triple or -arch

Can you share the exact command you tried compiling with?

• I think there's no such thing as windows-gnu

[patent basin]

I just did zig build

and it is a new project from init-exe

[tiny jasper]

Idk how to help, looks cursed

[urban summit]

how was it installed?

[scenic moth]

looks like an issue with targeting 32-bit mingw

[patent basin]

@urban summit downloaded the zip and extracted it

@scenic moth maybe because I have mingw installed

[scenic moth]

which zip?

[tiny jasper]

Are you on 32bit windows?

[patent basin]

@scenic moth from the zig website

@tiny jasper no 64bit

[scenic moth]

did you download the 64-bit zip?

[patent basin]

@scenic moth this is embarrassing but you are totally correct
I guess that is what happens when I dont use the package manager

[scenic moth]

yeah, so 32-bit support is pretty bad, and the 64-bit version will work much better
