Title is somewhat self explanatory, but how do I use zig fetch with, https://somegitprovider.com/randomuser/randomlib.git . I keep getting content-type not supported errors, and I can't seem to find any documentation
#How to use zig-fetch with git repos

umbral dawn
you need to use git+https://host/path for a git repository
hollow wagon
ty!
does this also add it to my project, or do I have to mess around with build.zig as well?
and is this -> https://zig.news/edyu/zig-package-manager-wtf-is-zon-558e article still up-to-date?
umbral dawn
looks to be mostly correct, I'd supplement it with https://ziglang.org/download/0.12.0/release-notes.html#Build-System though
and yes, you need to add the dependency as an import if you want to use it
hollow wagon
cool, ty again!

I'm having trouble with the path, is there a standard location where the package manager installs things?
ie.
const chrono = b.addStaticLibrary(.{
.name = "chrono",
.root_source_file = .{.path = ""}
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
exe.linkLibrary(chrono);
Where would the path be?
pale oasis
nowhere, you didn't install it anywhere
hollow wagon
even through the zig fetch command? If not how would I install it?
pale oasis
zig fetch gives you a hash that you use to reference it
hollow wagon
and that is the path?
pale oasis
can you please say what you are actually trying to do
hollow wagon
I am trying to add a library from git -> https://github.com/leroycep/chrono-zig
I have used zig fetch --save to get it into build.zig.zon
I am stuck actually being able to use and build with the package installed. Ie. configuring build.zig
pale oasis
what does your build.zig.zon look like
hollow wagon
// ^ ommitted for brevity
// (just project name + version)
.dependencies = .{
.chrono = .{
.url = "git+https://github.com/leroycep/chrono-zig.git#bedd9339af9b05c240956b137cb1a5b67a9b74b7",
.hash = "12200e5959fd68f7b2101eae5b6f23a213712810814cef42f44e112cc7b4f14f0248",
},
},
.paths = .{
"",
},
}
my_exe.root_module.addImport("chrono", b.dependency("chrono", .{
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
}).module("chrono"));
then just const chrono = @import("chrono"); in your zig source code
hollow wagon
sick, ty!
