Zig 12 Support

[lassade]

Follow up of PR #36 tested with zig 0.12.0-dev.1746+19af8aac8

Here is @desttinghim, I did fixed the sign step, I was runing before the zipalign but now everything is runing in the order they supose to (you can check useing --summary all)

Edit: I only fixed the egl sample
Edit2: Had to add bindings for OpenSLES because of many dependencies loop in the translate-c sample

[hammerfunctor]

Three other examples fixed here. Feel free to add that into this pr.

can we still publish a apk in the Play Store?

It seems that you need to build an aab file instead, this would be a good addition to the repository.
Alternatively I don't know if you can make an aab from an apk. The contrary in theory should be possible because the /data/app android directory where you can get the apks of your installed apps or otherwise it wouldn't make sense for me.
But anyway before publishing you would probably want to get a more decent ecosystem in the app, like SDL or something

[lassade]

Yeah I acctually wrote a new build system that creates an aab, the process is very simmilar but with some extra steps and required downloads (they arent inlcuded in the sdk or buildtools for some reason)

This PR claims to give this project support for Zig 12, however, you cannot build this with even zig 11, because as of zig 11, std.build and std.build.Builder have been combined into std.Build, and there is no std.build.

How are you compiling this, are you using an older version of zig's std?

I wrote some changes to get it to build for me. The only thing I have left is to get it to strip the binaries for .ReleaseSmall. I don't know yet how to do that.

I'm using 0.12.0-dev.1746+19af8aac8 as far I know zig .11 wont work because the build system changed on .12

The removal of std.build happens somewhere between 0.12.0-dev.1879 and 0.12.0-dev.2063.

But in the change notes for 0.11.0, they list:

std.build and std.build.Builder combined into std.Build

Deprecated doesn't imply removed immediately https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/e19219fa0e0a563dfda4a5f00737e0aadd7ca44e/lib/std/std.zig#L198

[kpence]

Ok, my problem was that the version of std that I got from here:

https://ziglang.org/download/0.11.0/zig-0.11.0.tar.xz

does not contain the same code for std as that snapshot.

It seems that this was added in after 0.11.0. That was my misunderstanding

build alias has removed. see: ziglang/zig@142471f#diff-79f63a2ce591380c4ec317daf5a0566972135f67b1b39c7173ddbe765d5446a0

Suggestion (based on andrewrk nasm fork):

const build_rename = std.SemanticVersion.parse("0.12.0-dev.1377+3fc6fc681") catch unreachable;
const Build = if (builtin.zig_version.order(build_rename).compare(.lt)) std.build else std.Build;

pub fn build(b: *Build) void { ... }
