Hello, it's a pleasure to be here and thank you for the real neato lang fellas! I've been enjoying getting to play around with Nim, and I'm a bit of a tinkerer with all sorts of different OSes if I say so myself. So far, I've been doing a lot of my playing around with Nim on Linux (Arch in particular) and FreeBSD, my 2 primary OSes I use. However, I've had some difficulties with using Nim on NetBSD 9.3. It seems I'm quite far from the first to struggle in this regard, and especially not with the issue I bring, but I'm confused just based on the diffs I saw on the Nim GitHub.
I cannot seem to get SSL of any sort for the life of me to work in NetBSD, especially with Nimble. I manage to get errors about being unable to verify SSL certificates requiring me to have to pass the --noSSLCheck flag, which is very strange to me as I've got mozilla-rootcerts-openssl installed and all of my other tools which use SSL work just fine, but Nim and Nimble seem to be the primary outliers here. I did see that commits were made to the Nim GitHub intended to remediate this issue in Nim, but I'm almost wondering whether or not the problem is less about Nim on NetBSD and more the possibility that the issue is that I've installed Nim and Nimble from pkgin rather than having compiled Nim and Nimble from source. I'm not sure what steps would be needed to compile Nim and Nimble myself, as I doubt the pkgsrc repo would help as that's what pkgin is using to build Nim and Nimble; but if it's a needed step then it's nothing I'm not used to. For reference, currently within pkgsrc the version of Nim that's available is 1.6.12 and the version of Nimble that is pre-packaged with it is 0.13.1. If any other info is needed, I will gladly provide it accordingly.
Should I compile this from the repo off GitHub rather than using pkgin or pkgsrc and see if that solves my issue here? Apologies if this is a spammy post or this is a newbie question, I just could not find any better help online or by reading the Nim GitHub issues relating to this problem and I've never made these types of posts before so this is my first ever asking any community for help with anything, please forgive me. Thank you all for your time and have a great day/evening!
