[Bug] not building with zig 0.14.0-dev

[JonasFocke01]

Pre-requisites

• I have looked for any other duplicate issues

Ly version

current main branch

Observed behavior

I have never worked with zig before, so this might be just me being dumb. So any help is appreciated!

I cloned the repo, downloaded zig***.tar.gz (version 0.14.0), added zig to my path and ran $ zig build in the ly repo root directory. This build error came up after a few seconds:

Expected behavior

The build works as instructed from the readme

Steps to reproduce

Basically compile with zig 0.14.0

Another zig 'novice' says the zig build instructions don't do as they ought...
Here's my error on Debian Sid:

mark@debian:~/ly$ zig build
./build.zig:27:21: error: container 'std' has no member called 'Build'
