12727 :: Issue installing futhark

  Hi,

  I'm trying to install futhark because it is a dependency of another module (nimdrake) and I'm getting this error:

   Installing [email protected]
     Building futhark/futhark/opir.exe using c backend
  C:\Users\MAURO_~1\AppData\Local\Temp\nimble_36684\githubcom_PMunchfuthark_#head\src\futhark\libclang.nim(2, 6) Warning: imported and not used: 'macros' [UnusedImport]
  C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/10.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lclang
  collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  Run

  Reading that LD does not find clang, I downloaded clang+llvm and put the path in the PATH environment variable but I still have the same problem.

  Does anyone have any advice to give me to be able to install futhark and continue with the installation of nimdrake?

  OS version: Windows 11 pro nim version: 2.2.0 nimble version: 0.16.1

  What you need is the development headers for Clang. Did you follow the installation instructions here? That should give you the correct version of Clang. And be sure to restart your terminal emulator after having updated the PATH variable.

  Thanks @PMunch.

  I missed the installation section.

  Now it'is all ok.
