Well, not yet pushed to github, but when I execute nimble in the gintro
directory it does indeed work.
If you don't know what it is: It is nimble install for
[https://github.com/StefanSalewski/nim-gi](https://github.com/StefanSalewski/nim-gi)
with new name gintro suggested by Araq.
But a few questions remain:
Currently I have to type "nimble prepair" followed by "nimble install". I guess
some users may prefer to type only "nimble install". So I tried the before
install hook. but that does not work, the hook seems to be not executed. What
"nimble prepair" does: It generates all the modules like gtk.nim, glib.nim,
pango.nim ... into the gintro directory. That dir is initially empty. If that
is done, then "nimble install" installs that files into
~/.nimble/pkgs/gintro-0.1.0/gintro
That is fine, and after that I can place my applications everywhere, use
imports like gintro/gtk and I can compile them. Great.
Next question: mode = Whatif as mentioned in nimscript module would make
debugging easier, but I got it not working, Whatif symbol was undefined.
Next: In ~/.nimble/pkgs/gintro-0.1.0/gintro I get all the generated modules,
and that modules partly import each other. Currently the modules still use
plain import, for example gtk.nim uses import glib, gobject. Seems still to
work. Should I fix that to import gintro/glib, gintro/gobject?
Next: What shall I do with the example files from the tutorial in examples
directory?
Next: listFiles() seems to give not plain file names, but directory prefix,
which is difficult to remove. Is there a better way.
Well, the dependency check for gtk developer files are still missing, I will
add that tomorrow. And some more checks and cleanup when possible.
