632 :: Custom path to compiler

• yglukhov (orginal) [2014-11-18T18:00:29+01:00] view original

  Hello, is there any way to define a path to custom compiler? In my case I want to compile with my custom-built clang.

  Also it would be great to have some docs on nimrod.cfg. Available options, how @if works, etc...

  Thanx.

  For which operating system ? For .nix oriented ones just add the directory path of your build to the PATH variable and set the -L and -I parameter flags to the correct directories for compilation (Please note setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH would be useless because that variable only affect linking at runtime)

  Use this in your config:

  
  cc = clang
  clang.path = r"your/path/here"
  Run

  Great, thanx! And one more question please. Is there any way to define variables in config, to be used within the same config? What i want is something like:

  
  let iOSVersion = "8.1"
  let simSDK = "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator" & iOSVersion & ".sdk"
  let iosSDK = "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS" &  iOSVersion & ".sdk"
  
  clang.options.always = "-isysroot " & simSDK
  Run

  This is currently not supported, but you could use symlinks on your OS to keep the paths managable, or maybe even try to get rid of the Java-like directory structure that ignores the last decades of trivial psychological insights.
