Trying to add an option to my build.zig

[verbal fox]

I am trying to add to something to my build.zig so that i can compile with the "-luv" option.
I think I thought the good function, but for some reason there is a type mismatch and I can wrap my head around:
exe.setExecCmd(.{"luv"});

error: type '[]const ?[]const u8' does not support array initialization syntax exe.setExecCmd(.{"luv"});

I also get this note:

note: inferred array length is specified with an underscore: '[_]?[]const u8'

I feel like the note isnt really related to my error or am I wrong ?

&.{"luv"} will fix the type error, but I think what you really want is exe.linkSystemLibrary("uv")

[verbal fox]

wow why that & ?

and yeah sour linkSystemLibrary was indeed what i needed ty

[finite junco]

because &.{} is how you write a slice literal

[verbal fox]

so the note was not really a good hint there ?

[finite junco]

yeah, the error message could certainly do with some improvement ^^'

i found "slice literal" nowhere in the doc, what is that

[finite junco]

It's not a special thing, it's just a pointer to an array literal, which coerces to a slice
