3219 :: how to make nimble link against libs in $HOME

• bkerin (orginal) [2017-10-04T21:32:36+02:00] view original

  I have C libs in ~/local/bin, which my LD_RUN_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH variables include (and CPATH gets ~/local/include For autoconf packages this does the job for preferring my locally installed versions of libs, but apparently not for nim, since I get broken binaries (e.g. Nimxapp from nimx) that I can then fix in place with e.g.

  
  patchelf --set-rpath /home/bkerin/local/lib:/user/local/lib NimxApp
  Run

  Is there a way to set up nimble to do what LD_RUN_PATH/LIBRARY_PATH/CPATH do for autoconf apps? I tried makeing a ~/.config/nim.cfg with these lines:

  
  --path="/home/bkerin/local/lib"
  --cincludes="/home/bkerin/local/include"
  --clibdir="/home/bkerin/local/lib"
  Run

  But I still get a binary with only /usr/local/lib in RPATH. How to do this?

  which compiler are you using for the generated C code? (you can see it compiling with the '--listCmd' flag)

  Hmm, for ordinary nim binaries RPATH is right, as expected given the gcc command that --listCmd show. Thanks.

  It seems like with nimx nimble just fetches things, and the build is done by nake, so I now I suspect with nimx the culprit is nake. The nimx package says the samples should be run like this:

  
  cd $(nimble path nimx | tail -n 1)/test
  nake # Build and run on the current platform
  # or
  nake js # Build and run in default web browser
  Run

  Unfortunately nake doesn't appear to honor ~/.config/nim.cfg settings. It's definitely building things (including NimxApp, which doesn't exist before the nake command), but doesn't show the GCC command even with --listCmd in nim.cfg. Seems like maybe 2 nake bugs: ignoring environment that nim normally honors, and somehow not honoring ~/.config/nim.cfg.

  Take a look on this two pragmas, works for me:
