Hi all!
I'm building a static library named `lightclient` on macOS via this command
invocation:
nim c --app:staticlib --header:lightclient.h --noMain lightclient.nim
Run
During the final stage, when the build process invokes `ar` tool, i get this
error:
Error: execution of an external program failed: 'ar
@lightclient_linkerArgs.txt'
Run
Seems that is because Nim compiler by default invokes version of `ar` from
Xcode command line tools, which does not support reading parameters from files.
I tried modifying the path for Nim compiler invocation:
PATH=/usr/local/opt/binutils/bin:$PATH nim c ...`
Run
which works. However, later on, when i try to link the resulting static library
with another executable, i get `ld` linker errors, complaining that
ld: warning: ignoring file liblightclient.a, building for macOS-x86_64 but
attempting to link with file built for macOS-x86_64
Run
so i'm at loss now.
Can someone please shed some light on this? Maybe there is a way to tell Nim to
use macOS's default tools without fiddling with the `PATH`, or some other
options?
Thanks a lot.
