container 'std' has no member 'Build'

[blackbit42]

I am trying to build ghostty (HEAD, at that time at ff9414d) on Debian stable (Bookworm), x86_64.
This fails with:

$ zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
./build.zig:9:21: error: container 'std' has no member called 'Build'
pub fn build(b: *std.Build) !void {
                    ^
/usr/lib/zig/0.6.0/lib/zig/std/special/build_runner.zig:131:35: note: referenced here
    switch (@typeInfo(@TypeOf(root.build).ReturnType)) {
                                  ^
./src/build/zig.zig:7:32: error: container 'builtin' has no member called 'zig_version'
    const current_vsn = builtin.zig_version;
                               ^
./build.zig:6:24: note: called from here
    buildpkg.requireZig("0.13.0");
                       ^
./build.zig:5:10: note: called from here
comptime {
         ^
./build.zig:6:24: note: referenced here
    buildpkg.requireZig("0.13.0");
                       ^
$

I am not a zig developer and therefore have no clue how to react.

What version of Zig are you using? Ghostty requires version 0.13.0. No earlier or later versions will work. https://ghostty.org/docs/install/build

Never mind, I somehow managed to get an absolutely ancient version of zig.
