2605 :: -p:<path>

  From the docs I take: "-p:PATH" => Add path to search paths"

  So in my understanding a call of "nim -p:c:\tools\mingw64\bin ..." would add "c:\tools\mingw64\bin" to the contents of my %PATH% environment variable and thus search e.g. gcc.exe along the new %PATH% (i.e. <path>;c:\tools\mingw64\bin"). However, this doesn't seem to work.

  Is my assumption/understanding wrong?

  No, that's for imports (import x where x is in that path). The environment variable is not touched.

  Thanks.

  Is there a possibility to search for e.g. gcc.exe in another location (just setting gcc.path in confignim.cfg doesn't work, as depending tools like c1.exe will fail)?

  You can try @prependenv "PATH" "foo/bar" (put it into your nim.cfg) to setup the environment for MingW, but I doubt it will work.
