Build trouble on Debian 12 (bookworm)

[dstromberg]

Hi.

Tried:
1) zig master, 2024-12-27 (I now know this is too recent)
2) zig 0.13.0 - went with this
3) rm -rf ~/.cache/zig/
4) sudo apt-get install libgtk-4-dev

The error currently looks like:

Build Summary: 94/97 steps succeeded; 1 failed (disable with --summary none)
install transitive failure
└─ install ghostty transitive failure
   └─ zig build-exe ghostty ReleaseFast native failure
error: the following build command failed with exit code 1:
/home/dstromberg/src/ghostty/src/.zig-cache/o/992c46f4571cd9b2e5f7478e7ac53872/build /usr/local/zig-0.13.0/bin/zig /home/dstromberg/src/ghostty/src /home/dstromberg/src/ghostty/src/.zig-cache /home/dstromberg/.cache/zig --seed 0x40098274 -Z7a0ee2b79721aeec -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

I'm building with:
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

Any suggestions? I'm eager to try Ghostty out.

Thanks!

Take a look here I think you might be missing a few of the required dependencies

https://ghostty.org/docs/install/build#dependencies

(below are the package but you should have pkg-config as well like the docs mention)
sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev libadwaita-1-dev git

I'm trying to build in debian testing and getting the folllowing error:

/usr/local/zig/lib/libcxx/include/__mbstate_t.h:40:12: error: 'bits/alltypes.h' file not found
#  include <bits/alltypes.h>

The file is
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-musl/bits/alltypes.h
as part of musl-dev (which installed via apt)
how do I make zig to include these files?

@mlaventure I saw you have ghostty working in bookworm, any advice on this. I'm an absolute newbie to zig

[mlaventure]

My system has a bunch of extra toolchains installed for my daily work so I couldn't build either. I ended up building it from within a Docker container based on bookworm instead. That gave my a clean environment.

Using a container, I simply followed the readme instructions no more no less

[dariogriffo]

thank you so much!

Do you know which toolchain is causing the issues for you? I reproduce this alltypes error on my system but can't figure out what's causing the interference.

[dariogriffo]

I can't remember. I managed to create the package and now I'm hosting public packages
Here is the build process if you want to take a look. There is also instructions if you want to use my package how to add the apt repo

I got ghostty 1.0 to build on Debian, but I'm having problems with it. On one of my Debian systems, it fails to run altogether. On the other, it takes a very long time to come up.

any tips on build?

[yankcrime]

If you're on testing or unstable you'll need to be aware of this: #3311 (reply in thread)

[dariogriffo]

I'll try on bookworm later next week. I only have a testing laptop with me and can't build

[dstromberg]

This is what produced a binary for me: Use zig 0.13.0 rm -rf ~/.cache/zig/ sudo apt-get install libgtk-4-dev sudo apt install libadwaita-1-dev zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
