The readme says......

"The above steps can be performed on Windows in a similar fashion, the build.bat and build64.bat (for x86_64 systems) are provided to be used instead of build.sh."

I don't see these files in the repo, what am I missing? I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I figure it's good for the community to keep this forum as active as possible. Thanks.

"The above steps..."

Read them and all shall be made clear.

Your right, it clearly says the c sources are no longer in the compiler repo. I'm good to go now.

I followed the instructions, and went into csources and executed build64.bat (could not run build.sh on MSYS).

It then says that it cannot find nimbase.h

The '-Ibuild' in the batch file is wrong, should be '-Isrc'

Thereafter, things seem to work fine!

I did notice that 'nimrod i' tends to fall over if it cannot match a proc, giving a generic 'SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)' error. This is master on Win64.
