Yeah, that is doable, but I find it kind of messy, heh. I made a wrapper for
the proc that will accept my const directly instead. I was just sort of
surprised that it didn't work since it feels like the sort of thing that should
work in Nim, and thought I might be missing something.
Anyway,
It is a problem with the proc signature. If I define a const as follows:
BLUE_RGB = (0.uint8, 0.uint8, 255.uint8)
and call the proc as follows:
texture.texPtr.setTextureColorMod(BLUE_RGB)
the compiler gives the following error when I try to compile:
_Error: type
You will need to write
texture.texPtr.setTextureColorMod(BLUE_RGB[0], BLUE_RGB[1], BLUE_RGB[2])
As setTextureColorMod does not accept tuple as argument

I am concerned. Now what? How can we improve the situation?
It might be aadded to a FAQ but this is clearly a distribution issue.
Searching "ubuntu /usr/local/lib" yields 700k+ results according to Google. The
first page all have at least one correct answer (export ...).
Also no regular package installs in `/usr/local/lib`, only things that you
compile
I consider it something that Nim should be concerned about. It's already caused
me a fair bit of grief trying to get the bindings working on Linux and I'm sure
anyone else will run into the same issue down the road. Keep in mind it's not
my .so that it was failing to find, but an .so that mine

The three related keywords (`import`, `include`, and this proposed new one)
should be easy to remember which is which.
* `include` reminds people of C
It is not Nim's problem.

I think I figured out why setting export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib was

Likely, you need to add 'i8 suffix to the constant to clearly identify the type
