Hi,
I am using nimble and I am trying to get cross compiling working using the
following script that I found on stackoverflow, based on a debian docker
container:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /workdir/windows
cp -Rp * /workdir/windows/
rm -rf /workdir/windows/src/nimcache
cd /workdir/windows
nim c --cpu:amd64 --os:windows --opt:speed --embedsrc --threads:on
--checks:on -c -d:release src/*.nim
cd src
cp /opt/Nim/lib/nimbase.h nimcache/
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc --save-temps nimcache/*.c -o windows.exe
Run
That works absolutely fine, however, adding a new requires to project.nimble:
# Package
version = "0.1.0"
author = "Colin Yates"
description = "Chain Breaker"
license = "MIT"
srcDir = "src"
bin = @["chainbreaker"]
# Dependencies
requires "nim >= 0.18.0"
requires "zip" # NEW LIB
Run
breaks the gcc step because the dependant nim files (in
~/.nimble/pkgs/zip/...~) don't appears to be compiled.
nim compilation works but the mingw32-gcc fails because it can't find the zip
source files.
To be explicit, nimble build works fine, but obviously only builds for the
current platform.
I am not sure if idiomatic cross-compilation means teaching nimble about
platform specific stuff, or teaching nim to also include the ~/.nimble/pkgs/.
Help :-).
