Tigerbeetle probably needs to run latest version of Zig (0.10.0)

[Tymmmy]

Hello, I am using MacOS Ventura 13 and Zig version lower than 0.10.0 'panics' as discussed in thread ziglang/zig#10478.

Looks like tigerbeetle-node should run this newer version of Zig in order to have working packages on Ventura 13.

The issue is happening when I try to run pnpm i.

Thanks for the heads-up! We plan to upgrade to 0.10 after a few remaining compiler bugs are resolved.

Thanks for the reply @sentientwaffle - anything that can be done in the meantime?

[sentientwaffle]

I'm not too familiar with Mac OS or the zig compiler internals, so I won't be much help there.
You could try running the current version within Docker, though.

Thanks @sentientwaffle, do you have an approx. idea on when the upgrade will be available? :)

[sentientwaffle]

@Tymmmy probably soon after Zig 0.10.1 lands (whenever that is 😉) — we are blocked from upgrading by ziglang/zig#13017.
