zig build-exe: cross compiling does not works with simple hello world program

[mast3rz3ro]

Zig Version

0.13.0

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

~/ziglang $ ls
hello.zig

~/ziglang $ cat hello.zig
const std = @import("std");

pub fn main() !void {
    const stdout = std.io.getStdOut().writer();
    try stdout.print("Hello, {s}!\n", .{"world"});
}

~/ziglang $ zig build-exe *.zig
warning: Encountered error: FileNotFound, 
falling back to default ABI and dynamic linker.

~/ziglang $ ls
hello  hello.o  hello.zig

~/ziglang $ file hello
hello: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, 
ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), 
statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

~/ziglang $ rm hello hello.o
~/ziglang $ zig build-exe *.zig -Dtarget=x86_64-windows
warning: Encountered error: FileNotFound, 
falling back to default ABI and dynamic linker.

~/ziglang $ ls
hello  hello.o  hello.zig

~/ziglang $ file hello
hello: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, 
ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), 
statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

Expected Behavior

Build success but output is unspecified target. i.e zig builds for system where it's currently running, rather than building for the specified target system.
I have check zig-build-system but I'm not sure if I quite understand it.

-Dtarget is used by the build system, for build-exe it declares a C macro. The flag you're looking for is --target.

The flag you're looking for is --target.

I have already tried that, and here is the output:

~/ziglang $ zig build-exe --target x86_64-windows hello.zig
error: unrecognized parameter: '--target'

My bad it's -target with one -.

My bad it's -target with one -.

Yes, it's works:

~/ziglang $ ls
hello.zig

~/ziglang $ zig build-exe -target x86_64-windows hello.zig
~/ziglang $ ls
hello.exe      hello.pdb
hello.exe.obj  hello.zig

Thanks you!.
