Access denied when doing zig fetch

[hollow fern]

I'm trying to fetch this git repo:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image.git
I am doing zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image.git.
And i am getting this error:

error: unable to unpack packfile
    note: unable to create symlink from 'Xcode\macOS\SDL3.framework\Headers' to 'Versions/Current/Headers': AccessDenied
    note: unable to create symlink from 'Xcode\macOS\SDL3.framework\Resources' to 'Versions/Current/Resources': AccessDenied
    note: unable to create symlink from 'Xcode\macOS\SDL3.framework\SDL3.tbd' to 'Versions/Current/SDL3.tbd': AccessDenied
    note: unable to create symlink from 'Xcode\macOS\SDL3.framework\Versions\Current' to 'A': AccessDenied

What can i do about this? Am i doing something wrong?

zig fetch only knows how to download source code archives over web. so you'd want to fetch this:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image/archive/d345579624ebb60882500c0eabc0aa17122e286b.tar.xz

also i picked last commit instead of branch's archive since generally you want fixed dependency checkouts

this is not correct, zig fetch supports git

[gloomy jackal]

can you send the output of zig env?

i honestly just ditched the idea of using sdl image, and just bruteforced my way. I guess, this means that the problem is solved xdxd

But here it is, if it's for your interest

[gloomy jackal]

oh you're on windows, that makes sense

symlinks aren't allowed on windows

Ok good to know. is git+https also fine? is it interpreted as git over https?

[gloomy jackal]

yep

[jaunty scarab]

When was git support added?

[gloomy jackal]

(to be clear, zig fetch only supports git+https)

not the weird git protocol, or git over ssh

[gloomy jackal]

oh, ages ago

[jaunty scarab]

ah ok, that makes more sense

[gloomy jackal]

like, pre-0.14 at least
