tried this doesn't work do i need some specific zig version?

[eddythompson80]

0.13.0

https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/blob/4b4d4062dfed7b37...

The full script is pretty much:

$ wget https://ziglang.org/download/0.13.0/zig-linux-x86_64-0.13.0....

$ tar xvf zig-linux-x86_64-0.13.0.tar.xz

$ git clone [e-mail]:ghostty-org/ghostty.git

$ cd ghostty

$ ../zig-linux-x86_64-0.13.0/zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

$ ./zig-out/bin/ghostty

Funny to see a "doesn't work" response even on Hacker News, with no details or error messages.

Zig 0.13 is required according to https://ghostty.org/docs/install/build

It also seems to need a fairly new gtk4. At least the version in Ubuntu 22.04 is too old.
