8420 :: how to build devel these days? (pre 1.6)

• ggibson (orginal) [2021-09-13T14:10:04+02:00] view original

  For the past few years I have been trying out devel, always building manually. However, this week it seems my setup is broken, or devel is very broken.

  After fixing a few errors, I decided something is amiss and to come ask.

  Errors:

  • cfg errors with malformed hint:type:off seems like it should be hint[type]:off
  • high usage in random is not up-to-date with deprecation of high itself, it seems.
  • collect can't be found in compiler/extccomp.nim even though it imports sugar.

  My build process:

  
  git clone nim-lang/nim && cd nim
  git clone nim-lang/csources && cd csources
  ./build.sh && cd ..
  bin/nim c koch
  ./koch boot -d:release
  ./koch nimble
  Run

  although I also get the same errors with ./build_all.sh

  Apparently you need to use csources_v1 to build the current devel. Not sure if this is a permanent change or if it's a temporary thing. Either way the build_all.sh script will put that all by itself, so you can simply clone the Nim repository, cd into it, and run that script to build Nim and all the tools.

  It is a permanent change, you need csources_v1.

  Thank you! I should've nuked the dir before trying build_all.sh.
