11059 :: Buildroot host-nim package?

  At $dayjob we use buildroot, so for me to introduce any nim would require at least a buildroot host package. That is, a package that would compile nim on the build machine (amd64/linux) as part of the toolchain. I can write one, but i thought i'd ask around first to see if anyone else has done this first?

  my buildroot is pretty rudimentary but i came up with:

  
  ################################################################################
  #
  # Nim
  #
  ################################################################################
  NIM_VERSION_MAJOR = 2.0
  NIM_VERSION = $(NIM_VERSION_MAJOR).2
  NIM_SOURCE = nim-$(NIM_VERSION).tar.xz
  NIM_SITE = https://nim-lang.org/download
  #NIM_LICENSE=?
  #HOST_NIM_DEPENDENCIES =?
  define HOST_NIM_BUILD_CMDS
          cd $(@D); ./build.sh
          cd $(@D); ./bin/nim c koch
          cd $(@D); ./koch boot -d:release
          cd $(@D); ./koch tools
  endef
  # will put configs in host/etc/nim
  #          libs in host/usr/lib/nim
  #          docs in host/usr/share/nim/doc
  #          data in host/usr/share/nim/data
  #          nimble in host/opt/nimble/pkgs/nim-2.0.2
  define HOST_NIM_INSTALL_CMDS
          cd $(@D); env DESTDIR=$(HOST_DIR) sh install.sh /usr/bin
  endef
  $(eval $(generic-package))
  $(eval $(host-generic-package))
  Run
