Building examples on windows

[anaanook]

Just for the record, I am able to get things working by manually building and linking raylib, but it would seem that something isn't quite functioning with the automated build.

I don't have a Windows system to test and debug this, but from what I can see this seems to be a zig cc error. Can you try creating a zig build script only for GLFW? If the issue persists when only building that, please create an issue over in the zig repo.

Hey I've got an update here.. so as it turns out the reason its not working is that the default target on windows is set to "-target native-native-msvc". If you set the target to "-target native-native-gnu" it builds just fine.
Here's what I added to the build file, I'm still pretty green with this stuff... so forgive me if there's a better way of setting this up:

pub fn build(b: *Builder) void {
    const mode = b.standardReleaseOptions();
    const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{.default_target = .{ .abi=.gnu}});

and then down in the examples

    for (examples) |ex| {
        const exe = b.addExecutable(ex.name, ex.path);
        exe.setBuildMode(mode);
        exe.setTarget(target);

I got the idea from this suggestion: ziglang/zig#6565 , apparently this default target causes other issues too.

ziglang/zig#6565 is solved now; the workaround will not be necessary in the upcoming 0.8.0 release.
