Project doesn't build #1

Hello,

Out of curiosity, I've tried to build the project, but it failed:

$ zig build
/path/to/quote/build.zig.zon:13:20: error: unable to create fetch stream: EndOfStream
 .url = "git+https://codeberg.org/sicher/sokol-zig#78fdd3653f9fc86b59688b5c48bee6512fc1e5ed",

Apparently, it looks like your build.zig.zon file is pointing at an unknown revision in the sicher/sokol-zig repository; or something like this.

I've tried to patch the file, and make it point at the latest commit to date:

diff --git a/build.zig.zon b/build.zig.zon

 .path = "../dvui-fork",

... but it failed at a different step:

$ zig build

So now it's the sokey package which requires the same sokol-zig version that doesn't build.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough knowledge about zig to know how to work things out. Do you think that something's missing on my end? How could I build this zig project to check it out?

The problem was a bunch of local dependencies that I used for fast iteration. I've set up so main has every dependency pinned by url+hash. Tested a fresh clone and it builds now. Note that macos is the only platform working at the moment. The editor is functional (I run it daily) but there are lots of wrinkles and missing features.
