zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe not working

[noahgsolomon]

After running zig build get-v8, running zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe returns the following (I am using zig 0.12.0):

(the only thing in v8-build/x86_64-linux/release/ninja is "args.gn")

Did you run zig build get-tools?

Did you run zig build get-tools?

Yes. I did this for zig version 12, 13 and 14 none of which worked

@noahgsolomon I've got a small PR here #17 - I'd be interested if this works for your case! It's merged :)

It is also worth deleting the .zig-cache - after my fix I got a very similar error to you and removing the cache fixed it.
