fix(homebrew): provide SDL headers to Zig translation - #403
Merged
Conversation
Issue: Homebrew source installs fail after the Zig 0.16 C translation migration because the addTranslateC step cannot locate SDL3 and SDL3_ttf headers from Homebrew linker paths.\nSolution: Export the stable Homebrew include roots before invoking Zig so the existing build configuration applies them to C translation and compilation. Document the packaging requirement and keep the formula metadata style-clean.

Issue
Homebrew source installation fails after the Zig 0.16 C translation migration because
addTranslateCcannot find the SDL3 headers in Homebrew's dependency prefixes.Solution
The formula exports the stable include roots for SDL3 and SDL3_ttf before invoking Zig. The existing build configuration then applies those paths to both C translation and compilation. The development documentation now records this packaging requirement.
Context
The fix complements the existing macOS SDK workaround used by the Homebrew formula.
