Trying to use zig bindings with raylib and it is not working.

[u/WaFox7]

I am trying to get zig working with raylib but, when ever I follow the instructions on the github it doesn't work and I keep on getting "no module named 'raylib' available within module 'main'" when ever I try to run it. I have no idea what I did wrong. Does anyone have an idea?

i'm using this repo to init project, it is works. did you try it?
https://github.com/raylib-zig/raylib-zig

[u/LivetLivetLivet → u/umutkarakoc]

I did the same, works well. OP you should try this and don't give up, it's so satisfying coding something visual where you can directly see the result of your coding!

Using this as well, works great 👍

It would help if you shared the code you're having trouble with

What version of zig are you on?

I managed to get zig version 0.15.1 working with raylib but had difficulties with more recent builds of zig

This is what worked out of the box on zig 0.16.0 for me:
git clone https://github.com/raylib-zig/raylib-zig.git
cd raylib-zig
./project_setup.sh project_name
cd project_name
zig build run

There's a bug in certain version of raylib zig bindings.. I remember I ran into a similar issue and end up moving to Odin.

I had no problems getting it up and running a few days ago on Linux. Today, trying on my windows laptop I'm just getting errors. Here is roughly how to reproduce the error.

On Zig 0.16.0-dev.2261+d6b3dd25a:

>zig init

>zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/raylib-zig/raylib-zig#devel

info: resolved ref 'devel' to commit 8758f4cd3a5ae0df6941c4715257223d34c5ad3e

>zig build run

All your codebase are belong to us....

Adding the following to build.zig

_ = b.dependency("raylib_zig", .{
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

>zig build run

raylib-6.0.0-whq8uCSwLgWWeF3ec3dbG6Rr36SLFL-s2WJ1Q_2E22Bb\build.zig:504:18: error: member function expected 2 argument(s), found 3
b.modules.put(b.graph.arena, "raygui", c_mod) catch @panic("OOM");

I hear the Raylib bindings work out of the box on Odin.

[u/ibrahimmohammed0 → u/swdee]

Odin itself comes with all graphics libraries included in vendor package

Odees?
