I am trying to use a very simple zig function in my Nerves app, but it isn’t working.

First I get an error:

Error while loading project :zigler at /Users/herman/Projects/GratWiFi/nerves/firmware/deps/zigler

The firmware compilation continues, I can see zig building my file, but the it errors out:

The firmware gets build, but when you deploy it, it goes into a reboot-loop because it cannot find the nif file.

Thinking I somehow missed something, I downloaded the nerves-examples repo, and tried the hello-zig example, but this behaves the same.

I am on a Mac Mini M4, if that makes a difference.
