Error when using Zig : "no field or member function named 'standardReleaseOptions' in 'Build'"

[TheGreat-Chain]

When I perform the third step of the readme, which is entering the "zig build -Drelease-fast" command, I get this error :

llama.cpp/build.zig:5:23: error: no field or member function named 'standardReleaseOptions' in 'Build'
    const optimize = b.standardReleaseOptions();
                     ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The build.zig is written for zig 0.10, the API has changed in 0.11 so it will need to be fixed when 0.11 releases but it is a development prerelease right now.

I get the same error...

This files has broader issues than simple one depreciated function. Though, to fix this particular micro-issue line five should be:

const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

[SlyEcho]

I think it's probably better to track with the dev releases of zig rather than the "stable" ones. It could also probably support most of the advanced features that the Make and CMake configurations do.
