but it does compile when the git repo is manually downloaded and placed under respective hash names.

Am I the only one facing this issue? I have searched everywhere in the zig issues nothing like this exist. Please tell me how to fix if I am doing something wrong and fix this issue if this is a bug.
I am using 0.16.0 version and the same thing happens with 0.17dev too.

Might be a cache corruption issue; try
Try deleting .cache (if it exists), .zig-cache, zig-pkg folders from the project you are working in.
Then delete $HOME/.cache/zig/

microzig seems to supports 0.17.0-dev.1158+1d1193aa7 so you should be using that but the latest zig dev verison also worked for me

@ItsMeSamey Thanks for the reply.And that was the first thing I tried. I tried removing all the cache dirs, and zig-pkg and ran again.

still these were the errors:
//raylib_zig: https://github.com/raylib-zig/raylib-zig.git

Please help me I am not able to work on my projects for so many days because of this issue. I don't even know why this is only happening to me.

@ItsMeSamey I did the test in windows and an external usb drive by cloning the repo in them and zig build -l though build didn't work the fetching worked with no problems. I don't know only when using the windows partition from linux this error occurs. Please if you can point me to solutions please do. Thank You.

@ItsMeSamey Thank you for listening to my ramble. Apparently this was issue in ntfs3 lib with the wierd file names in aro. After switching to the old ntfs-3g it worked. Sorry but the error was so obscure. Are everyone who have this setup get this error if so this was the solution. Thank You.
