basically title^ its been a bit since I've read over linker errors and I don't have enough experience with CMake so I'll need to do some reading on that.

I just downloaded llvm 17.0.2 and added that to PATH and I followed the build from source instructions, and got to the Linking CXX executable zig2 where I got the error in the picture.

If anyone has insight on how to debug this that would be wonderful!

running ubuntu 22.04 WSL

years of C xp by now, but also knowing that given a -lname the linker looks for a file named libname.so
