1302 :: Nimble bug when installing on Windows

• MikeP (orginal) [2015-06-08T12:58:34+02:00] view original

  Win 7. Nim installed ok, aporia works OK. I downloaded and unpacked nimble-0.6_win32, then ran install.bat

  It gives this error: (I'm not showing you the deprecations btw)

  nimblepkgversion.nim(141, 22) Error: use '^' instead of '-'; negative indexing is obsolete

  Traceback (most recent call last)

  nimble.nim(836) nimble

  nimble.nim(811) doAction

  nimble.nim(588) install

  nimble.nim(482) installFromDir

  nimble.nim(431) buildFromDir

  tools.nim(18) doCmd

  Looking into version.nim, at line 141, shows:

  result.spe = s[1 .. -1].TSpecial

  Good luck, Mike

  Nim comes out of the box with Nimble, no need to run install.bat.

  Indeed. That said, I need to release a new version to fix this ASAP.

  Thanks for your replies.

  Yes, the nimble readme says that it is pre-compiled, so my fault for not reading it (I was following some other instructions).
