Using zig as a clang compiler

[SebastianMpl]

Hey guys,
I'm trying to use zig which is clang compatibile c compiler with multiple libc and ability to compile for other operating systems.

I made an appimage that points to zig cc and did a symlink named clang to /usr/bin but I get error:

[seba@sebapc v]$ ./v -cc clang ./structtest.v 
==================
Unable to hash /home/seba/Obrazy/v/"/tmp/v_1000/structtest.13441100194319091039.tmp.c": file not found
...
==================
(Use `v -cg` to print the entire error message)

builder error: 
==================
C error. This should never happen.

This is a compiler bug, please report it using v bug file.v.

You can also use #help on Discord: https://discord.gg/vlang

I even renamed clang to zig and it's still the same.
I know that zig is not officially supported, but is there any way to make it work?
Anyone tried zig cc with vlang before?

Thank you

While not commenting directly to the actual question: this is probably an Issue vs Discussion item since this, on the outset, does appear to be some kind of a bug that we need to look into further...

I make a shell named 'zc' it works.

#!/bin/sh
zig cc $@

then

v -cc "zc" -showcc -show-c-output .

but do a cross compile is researching.

I don't know the current state of it, but https://github.com/malisipi/vzcc was created a while ago.

malisipi's vzcc is for the exact purpose. Looks like those commenting should try it out and if any issues, contact him about it.
