I just got compile error :
LLD Link... error(link): DLL import library for -lgdiplus not found
error: DllImportLibraryNotFound
zguit...The following command exited with error code 1:

my system info is:

This happens when the following message is displayed:

Ah yes, it's because I did some experimentation with GDI+ (because previously Canvas relied on GDI which wasn't a good choice given it dates back to Windows 3.1 days)
In the meantime you can copy src/backends/win32/gdiplus.def (in zgt source files).
Then go to the directory where you installed zig, go in lib/libc/mingw/lib-common and paste the file there.
Normally those steps are already done automatically in build.zig but I'll try to find why it didn't work for you, in the mean time I'm leaving this issue opened.
