8739 :: Using the Compiler lib without needing the devel version of Nim

  What does one need to do to use the Compiler without needing the devel version of Nim?

  I'm nearing the release of my python-to-nim transpiler and it uses embedded nimscript. This requires the Compiler lib and according to this article https://peterme.net/how-to-embed-nimscript-into-a-nim-program-embedding-nimscript-pt-2.html PMunch says you don't absolutely need the the devel version.

  Merry Christmas guys

  You do not need devel though it depends on the version you're targeting and what you're doing, personally for Nimscripter I just add do --path:"$nim" or the equivalent to use the compiler API of their current compiler, this makes it less annoying and does not have a weird dependency.
