Build including mecha fails with no field named 'root_source_file' in struct 'Build.CreateModuleOptions'

Zig version: 0.11.0
OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Hello! I am trying to include mecha in my project and when running zig build I get the error in the issue title:

/home/jeremy/.cache/zig/p/12203ee851cb0451f3ebdf23b51cf21886e261a563b5b1e1ec16c801dc3ef9ecea5d/build.zig:8:45: error: no field named 'root_source_file' in struct 'Build.CreateModuleOptions'
    const module = b.addModule("mecha", .{ .root_source_file = .{ .path = "mecha.zig" } });
                                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am fetching mecha through the built-in package manager - here's the relevant excerpt from build.zig.zon:

    .dependencies = .{
        .mecha = .{
            .url = "https://github.com/Hejsil/mecha/archive/5d572b31b08268e977bd52ba6701dfea6bf08025.tar.gz",
            .hash = "12203ee851cb0451f3ebdf23b51cf21886e261a563b5b1e1ec16c801dc3ef9ecea5d",
        },
    },

And a snippet from my build.zig:

    const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
        .name = "openmunge",
        .root_source_file = .{ .path = "src/main.zig" },
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });
    exe.addModule("mecha", mecha.module("mecha"));
    b.installArtifact(exe);

Any idea whether this is something I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

The master branch of mecha targets zig master. There is no guarantee that older version of zig can compiler master. Use on of the mecha releases if you need a version that compilers with at specific version of zig

Ah I see, I wrongly assumed master targeted the latest stable zig release. Thanks for the info. :)
